In the (tongue-in-cheek) words of Mr. Moreno himself…
Well… I showed up this week. On time, in spite of having other things I wanted to do. I even got off work early to do so. And what’d it get me? Absolutely nothing.
Sean rolled up his sleeves and looked ready for the fight. Billy actually turned up this time. So, how did it go? Read on to find out!
For his 150th article for StarCityGames.com (not including stints on the Daily), Abe tells us exactly why he loves the Timeshifted cards from Time Spiral. Congratulations on the big one-five-oh, Abe!
In my first ever draft, triple Urza’s Saga, I opened a Morphling in my first booster and passed it because it had too many abilities and I couldn’t figure out whether it was any good or not, taking the “safe” Pacifism instead. I regretted that later when I saw a guy with infinite mana out and that very Morphling in play enchanted with Hermetic Study. He proceeded to throw away that game by blocking a Hollow Dogs with the Morphling and just shooting some stuff instead of pumping the Morphling’s toughness to save it. Nice play.
This week’s edition of the Magic Show – Magic’s only video-based article series – looks at the noble art of warfare. Just how can the writings of Sun Tzu be applied to the cardboard craft of spellslinging?
Blisterguy brings the news on all things Magic Online, from Premier Event statistics to MTGO Marketplace ticket prices. He also shares his build from the recent Time Spiral prerelease.
Tempest always fills me with fond memories. That’s probably because it was the time when I first started playing in tournaments, and it didn’t matter that I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. Oh, how I long for the days where winning one match was such a great feeling that it didn’t matter that my overall record was 1-4…
In a ten-game set against a Simic Sky Swallower-based Urzatron deck, the deck lost only one game, in which the Tron deck drew a large number of Urza lands to power up a giant Demonfire. In the other games, it was almost impossible for the control deck to deal with both one-drops, instant-speed burn spells, and the overwhelming Genju of the Spires…
Relax, we’ve not gone mad… Chris is “previewing” an old favorite in a new light. Looking back at cards that failed to achieve is a fine place to search for new tech and tricks… and today, Chris doesn’t disappoint.
Several customers have asked us how to view a list of the “timeshifted” Time Spiral cards, along with pricing/conditions/availability of their original counterparts (including foils) at the same time. Not only is it possible to do so, but thanks to the StarCityGames.com deckbuilder, it’s a snap! Here’s how…
Like every time a new set is released, it unleashes with it a new Limited format that people need to get to grips with. Old, experienced Limited players, though, are always at the forefront and generally know what they’re doing straight away, because there are always similarities between all Limited formats. So the best place to start the exploration of a new format is the past…
Joshua Claytor continues his comprehensive series, examining the current Standard workhorses and producing updated (and Kamigawa-free) “skeleton” version for preliminary Champs testing. This particular article delivers some of the decks operating on the fringe of the current metagame…
Time Spiral’s out – and as usual, it’s a race to see which cards are as good as they look on paper, and which cards don’t quite measure up! Are Thallids any good? Should you build a Sliver deck? And how does all of this Flash stuff affect your game? Read on and find out The Ferrett’s first take on one of the most exciting new sets to arrive in years!
Who here likes mana flood? I used to hate it, back when I played Pansy Salad, an 18-land elf deck, in the days of Onslaught Block Constructed with a collective cardpool between myself and my competitors that featured maybe two dozen rares total. Despised it; couldn’t imagine running anything that would actually put more land into play, certainly early because well, I had elves for that. And they did cool things, like tap to make an elf huge, or make everything else block them.
This week continues the journey on the path of the many styles of Human decks available to the mono-color world, and a sojourn into a surprise deck celebrating all that is Human. Well, within the world of Magic, anyhow. Real humans are much more boring and less worthy of discussion. Plus, they say their own piece every week in the forums, for better or worse, while exposing themselves to my raucous japes and smarmy witticisms.
