Monday, February 25th – This week, Adam tackles a range of topics including ruminations on Eternal Magic, a Legacy perspective on Organized Play, the Banned and Restricted List, and a long forgotten card from Alpha…
Monday, February 25th – Since I’m writing this article before all the information from Grand Prix: Vancouver hits, I’ll be going with my plan B for the week and covering Team Reflection’s Tidespout Tyrant Oath deck that won Stratfordbury a few weeks ago…
Friday, February 22nd – Don those tuxedos, fill those champagne flutes, and gobble down a platter of mushroom tikka vol-au-vents. Ladies and Gentlemen, be upstanding please… for the (Belated) 2007 StarCityGames.com Awards!
Friday, February 22nd – Bill continues his Magical travels, discusses the victories and defeats at Pro Tour: Kuala Lumpur, gushes over Jon Finkel, and speaks his mind regarding the Players Q and A with the Wizards Organized Play team…
Friday, February 22nd – This past weekend we saw the first Pro Tour of the 2008 season come a-knocking, and the events of the weekend seemed quite impressive. After a few near-misses at the Pro Tour camp, where even Day 2 wasn’t in the offering, it seems that the fire has come back to one Jonny Magic as he went from 2-1 to 16-1-1 between the end of Round 3 and the final play of the event.

This week we’re going to discuss the incredible return of Jon Finkel, the fallout from Wizards’ players meeting and what it means for the future of Organized Play, the allure of Shadowmoor, a few words on tomorrow’s live updates, and more! Let’s go!
Thursday, February 21st – Hello folks, and welcome back to the article series dedicated to all things casual. Today I want to talk about two companies. Each company has several product lines, so I want to specifically address Magic and HeroClix. In particular, I want to talk on what WizKids can teach Wizards…
Thursday, February 21st – Morningtide offered a great tweak on the Tribal cards from Lorwyn – the Tribal Equipment. After having fun with Veteran’s Armaments two weeks ago in his Soldier article, Dave continues his run through the new Equipment by looking at the two with the least press – Thornbite Staff and Diviner’s Wand.
Wednesday, February 20th – I loved Reveillark the minute I saw it; I love recursion, and I especially love the progress Wizards has made in giving fans of creatures a good number of ways to fight the menace of Wrath of God and Damnation. Saffi Eriksdotter, Deadwood Treefolk, flash creatures, Epochrasite… Reveillark was a potent addition to the suite of creatures that give a lot of resistance to mass removal.
Wednesday, February 20th – Years ago, people wrote tournament reports. The good ones covered the event, gave round by round results – including information on both how the match played out and on play and sideboarding strategies. They were once the best source of strategic advice. Times change – but I want to revive a lost art. I’ll also promise lots of decklists, and some under the radar deck ideas, since I spent most of the tournament out of Top 8 contention.
Tuesday, February 19th – This is going to be a tricky one to write, for several reasons. I can talk nicely about people forever, but telling people that they’ve got things wrong isn’t my strong suit. Still, that’s what’s coming…
Tuesday, February 19th – Extended has once again experienced a major shift, when compared to the first few weeks of the season. Before we had a number of midrange decks and Dredge as the most played and generally “best†decks… but the format has shifted week after week, back toward a new set of expected and top decks. Red decks of various sorts – Goblins, Red Deck Wins, and even Burn – have all been successful to some extent.
Monday, February 18th – Threshold is here to stay, and it has begun to cast a Counterbalance-sized shadow over the metagame. Kevin is here to light your way and present his thoughts on how to deal with the Tarmogoyf menace.
Monday, February 18th – I’ve been very fortunate to meet some truly wonderful people through Magic. Some of those are people I work with on decks, some are people I practice with on Magic Online, and some are people I hang out with at tournaments. Two recent conversations with two such people resulted in some interesting shifts in how I think about Magic, life, and the universe, and this article centers around those conversations.
