Friday, September 11th – Today, I want to write a different sort of column. I’ll tell you about a piece of Magic software I’ve been enjoying, and then show you what I’ve been doing with it. The software is free to download, so this will give you an example of something you can download and enjoy at your leisure.
Friday, September 11th – Zendikar is heating up, and some of the news coming out of spoilers both official and unofficial is rather fetching! Okay, bad pun aside, the big news revealed this week at PAX is that *SPOILER ALERT* are in Zendikar! Holy cow, what an amazing revelation!
Friday, September 11th – Zendikar seems an environment tailor-made to play towards Green’s strengths. Is that going to be the case, or is Wizards going to rob that piece of the pie and distribute it across multiple colors in the name of making the themes work no matter what colors you play?
Friday, September 11th – Everyone is getting excited about the forthcoming Zendikar set, so I will deliberately ignore it and talk about something else instead. Trust me, this is a good thing. I don’t exactly have good form for when it comes to rating new cards (aside from Greater Gargadon).
Friday, September 11th – Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we’re diving headfirst into another ridiculous and exciting batch of spoilers from Zendikar. I know you’ve heard it before, but holy crap is this upcoming set ridiculously awesome. And when I say ridiculous, I mean ri-dic-you-luss. Let’s go!
Thursday, September 10th – My favorite time to judge is at prereleases, because all of the cards are shiny and new, and nobody knows exactly how they work yet. Players come to you with genuine questions because they don’t understand how something works on a card that you haven’t even seen yet, and that seat-of-the-pants judging is my kind of judging!
Thursday, September 10th – Yes, Zendikar, the whole set, will end the Fae menace in Standard. Rotations solve any problem. Beyond that, though, we really cannot do more than speculate about the new Standard. A week or two, another couple hundred spoiled cards and we can talk. Until then, I am thinking about Ultimate Standard and introductory Pauper.
Thursday, September 10th – Standard season is over. The PTQ circuit is closed until Zendikar sealed springs forth in a month’s time, and very shortly the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor block will no longer be part of the Standard environment. Yet, I would feel remiss if I did not provide one more article on Reveillark.
Wednesday, September 9th – Join Tom, Conley, Steve, Eric as we talk a whole lot about the current Zendikar previews, including a passionate discussion of the awesomeness of Plated Geopede for Extended Zoo from Conley.
Wednesday, September 9th – Dave’s wife keeps promising she’ll come back to Magic. With all these new vampires, could her fascination with fangs win out over her reluctance to come back to Magic?
Wednesday, September 9th – Here I am again, in the lull between expansions. It’s times like these that I loathe being a Magic writer, as often it is difficult to find relevant topics to write about. As luck would have it, however, this week I’ve got a decent amount of content to cover. Zendikar spoilers are in full swing, and there are quite a few choice bits to sink our teeth into.
Tuesday, September 8th – Mana fixing, Elvish Foolishness (which isn’t a card, but might as well be), a mighty Planeswalker, and several cards that belong in your one-of-everything collection and nowhere else. These delights and more are just a click away, as the M10 Academy opens its doors once more.
Tuesday, September 8th – In the past seven days, The Starkington Post (Bill Stark’s daily Magic blog) has brought us talk from the Zendikar party, PAX coverage, Zendikar spoilers, and more!
Tuesday, September 8th – This week, Doug looks at the early Zendikar spoilers. With only forty or so cards spoiled already, the set looks amazing for Legacy! Zendikar is replete with several niche cards that might be very strong in Legacy. Doug presents a new favorite deck of his, an evolution of Landstill that’s on the up-and-up. Get the early scoop on the new set in this week’s Legacy’s Allure!
Tuesday, September 8th – I was eager to get out there and tussle it up with the new Chaos — er, I mean Plane cards. I wanted to see whether this new twist would resound with multiplayers around the world, or whether it’d just be some barely-played variant like Vanguard. So what’s the verdict?
