Tuesday, November 17th – As the hours tick down to the ultimate gaming challenge, Rich takes us through the Player of the Year Race, and exclusively reveals that a certain entertaining American will be lifting the individual title come Sunday. Or he could be completely wrong…
Tuesday, November 17th – On 11/7, Alternate Universe – Blue Bell ran their first Legacy tournament; to my knowledge, this was the first non-weekly Legacy tournament in the area since the Grand Prix Trial for Columbus in 2007. I’d been pushing the store to run a Legacy tournament since early in the year, when I caught the Legacy bug while testing for GP: Chicago…
Tuesday, November 17th – In this week’s article, Doug considers two applications of Entomb in Legacy, the traditional Reanimator style and innovative Protean Hulk lists. How can Entomb power up a Reanimator list beyond getting a fatty to bring back? Get a history lesson about Benzo in old Extended, find out the different possible Hulk combination kills and get suggestions on how to play around graveyard hate in this week’s Legacy’s Allure!
Monday, November 16th – Last weekend, my wife won the StarCityGames.com $5000 Standard Open. I didn’t do so bad myself, and feel I owe you guys an explanation about why I chose the deck we played, and why I didn’t play Jund or Team America. Here is the story.
Monday, November 16th – Last weekend, the Andersons – Magic’s latest Golden Couple – rocked the Standard world and the StarCityGames.com $5000 Open with a fine double Top 8 performance, playing Mono-Green. Today, we have articles from quarterfinalist Todd, and from the winner herself, Kali Anderson!
Friday, November 13th – It’s an M10 draft. You’re solidly in Red-Blue with goodies like Air Elemental, Mind Control, Shivan Dragon, and Goblin Artillery, plus solid commons to give you around fifteen playables. Booster three comes along and, whoa baby, there she is, Baneslayer Angel in all her glory. What do you do?
Friday, November 13th – Last weekend was one that this Green mage was very happy about. While I enjoyed personal success with a deck built around one of the coolest Green cards to be printed in some time, that FNM moment paled in comparison to the gigantic splash Kali and Todd Anderson made at the StarCityGames.com $5000 Standard Open in Nashville on Saturday…
Friday, November 13th – Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we talk with Nashville $5K winner (and fellow author Todd Anderson’s lovely wife) Kali Anderson about Eldrazi Green, marriage and playing Magic, and how it felt to win the $5K. All that, plus the Top 8 mirror match between the married couple, the Eldrazi Green versus G/W Eldrazi Top 4 match, and more! Let’s go!
Thursday, November 12th – Last week, I traveled to Renton to meet up with the Online Team and go head to head with the Wizards themselves. I knocked off Mark Rosewater, Mike Turian and Erik Lauer – and the team pulled out the win. Fourteen rounds, President Obama, and the Miracle of the Multi-ball – all in this classic tournament report!
Thursday, November 12th – Magic is a game filled with thousands of individual cards. Each is unique in its own way, and each is good at doing particular jobs. Serra Angel attacks and blocks. Lightning Bolt can kill your opponent, or your opponent’s creatures. Mind Rot removes your opponent’s options.
Wednesday, November 11th – On this week’s edition of MTGCast, the guys discuss Grand Prix: Paris, the theft of Rob Alexander’s binder, the Deck Builder’s Toolkit, the Magic Online Community Cup Challenge, and much more!
Wednesday, November 11th – Hello readers! I hope you have been enjoying your day thus far. Today I want to go back to an idea I’ve explored a few times: exploring a card, talking about a bunch of things you can do with it, and building a few decks where appropriate.
Wednesday, November 11th – We have a lot of social interaction in Magic, and sometimes we end up playing people we don’t like, or are just bothered by. Sometimes, we have interactions we aren’t comfortable with. Sometimes, though, you’re that guy, and you don’t even know it. Today, I want to go over some things that I’ve witnessed or even done that you probably shouldn’t do.
Wednesday, November 11th – Once upon a time, I did a set review for Shards of Alara, and in that review I foolishly bashed on Elspeth, Knight-Errant, asserting that she was just a “four-mana Angelic Blessing.†So, as one might guess, I know what crow tastes like. A month or so back, I said that “I was wrong about Elspeth, but I just don’t see it with Nissa.†… Oops.
Tuesday, November 10th – Domain cards in Conflux. Harrow and basic land fetching in Zendikar. Dave digs through the card pool and puts the chocolate into the peanut butter, creating a new Domain Control deck for Standard.
