Wednesday, July 30th – Remember, this week we’re concentrating on the multicolored cards from Eventide, so for all the monocolored Eventide goodness, click that link right above my parasail-like cheeks. And this is all about the less-obvious stuff… you know Figure of Destiny and the B/W God are ridiculous, so I won’t waste your time saying so. Onward!
Tuesday, July 29th – Riki looks back at last week’s intriguing Demigod of Revenge debate, and discusses the rights and wrongs involved when calling a judge over an opponent’s repeated infractions.
Tuesday, July 29th – Rich is a long way from home for the next couple of weeks. First it’s off to Madrid for a Sealed Deck and Draft Grand Prix which was sure to be monumentally well-attended, and then next week he’ll be reporting back to us from the fun and frolics of Magic Weekend in Chicago, the home of the U.S. Nationals this year. As usual, a topical blend of information, speculation, abrogation, and possibly even navigation
Tuesday, July 29th – This week will be a split article, half focused on Block Constructed and half on Vintage. If you’re interested in reading about current iterations of Vintage Fish, read on! If you want to read about the new – and hopefully more interesting – Block Constructed decks we’ve been cooking up, they’re here too!
Monday, July 28th – Christopher Coppola analyzes the Top 8 results of fourteen large tournaments and discusses the current state of the format.
Monday, July 28th – The Kentucky Open was a week or so ago, and I decided to make a weekend of it. Originally, I was planning on going to ‘double dip’ on PTQs, since there was one on Saturday in Cleveland and then one on Sunday in Louisville, but I decided to save on gas and just spend the weekend in Kentucky.
Friday, July 25th – This week, let’s try talking about something a little different, away from the usual Faeries du jour, or even the Block Constructed format at all. I’m going to take a break and talk about something I’ve been enjoying lately: Shadowmoor-Shadowmoor-Eventide Draft, and forcing colors.
Friday, July 25th – With just one last Pro Tour Qualifier to go before Eventide rotated into the Block Constructed format, my mission (should I choose to accept it) was to drive myself and four compatriots to Boston for the weekend and play a deck with Bitterblossom for eight hours…
Friday, July 25th – Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we’ll take a closer look at Eventide and detail its impact on Standard and Block, cover my own Top 16 performance at last weekend’s Kentucky Open, and get ready for the upcoming PTQs, Nationals, and more. Let’s go!
Thursday, July 24th – Welcome to the Thursday column dedicated to bringing you topics pertinent to the largest chunk of Magic players out there, the casual world. This is your pilot, cruising with you to a nice altitude in search of new worlds for the column to explore. Today I want to write about a topic that weighs heavy on the hearts of casual players everywhere. I want to talk about land destruction.
Thursday, July 24th – Eventide’s nearing the shelves, so it’s time to look through the cards and find those “necessities” that the budget player should be focusing on finding.
Thursday, July 24th – I ran a PTQ last weekend. The Top 8 happened – Faeries and Faeries and Merfolk and Faeries and some Elementals and – who cares? That format is dead already. It was pre-Eventide, so everything will change. I’ll talk a bit about it, then I’ll look at some Eventide cards. That’s more interesting.
Wednesday, July 23rd – When last we left our hero, he’d dug into the White and Blue cards of interest in Eventide. Let’s move on and try to finish things up…
Wednesday, July 23rd – While I rarely do “set reviews†in the strictest sense, taking each card line-by-line and spouting such wisdom as “It’s cool that Mogg Fanatic and Incinerate were reprinted; those cards might find a home in aggressive Red decks,†every once in awhile a set is released that contains a higher than average density of cards with atypical applications. It seems to me like Eventide has many of this type of card.
Tuesday, July 22nd – For those who love Rules that aren’t, and for those who love stories of old that are, it’s time to dial back the years to the Fall of 1997 and take a walk on the Miserable side of life through Tempest, Stronghold, Exodus and the Saga of Urza. And his Legacy and Destiny and Ford Cortina, an automotive gag that only Brits will understand. And possibly not even them.
