Today, I open up the floor. Not literally, of course… that’d cause all manner of carnage. Instead, I give the floor to you… well, I don’t actually give it to you, because then I’d have no floor.
What I’m trying to say is… it’s Ask the Editor.
I’ve read articles by various pros saying that when they travel all over the world to play Magic, it’s not really for the love of the game or the lure of exotic locales. It’s not even for the money, although I’m sure that helps. Above all, I’ve heard it said again and again, the reason they’re there is to spend time with the friends they’ve made on the Tour, people from all over the world who form a community.
There’s a saying out there that two heads are better than one, but it’s hard to say for sure whether this is true when playing Magic as a team. With the Two-Headed Giant State Championships coming up this weekend, a lot of two-headed spellslingers are looking at this wacky format – only recently gifted with the joy of official sanction – while older and more experienced Two-Headed players are looking at the wacky rules that the DCI has enforced.
One of the prodigal sons of StarCityGames.com returns! Tony, one of the quirkiest Magic writers to cross the path of this hallowed game, has returned to the pages of StarCity after a four-year absence… And roars straight back into form with a listing of the strangest moments in Magic history!
Teddy Card Game is a martial arts fanatic. He can move as silently as a cat, and can strike like a cobra. Me? I can move as silently as a rhino and can strike like a badger… but that’s about it.
How, then, did I ever become a Karate Instructor?
Hello there, my name is Evan Erwin… and I’m a hater. I hate your permanents, I hate your spells, and I hate your resources. I found the perfect deck for all you haters out there. It’s called Owling Mine. You may have heard of it…
This article is here to inform you on how this deck is built, played, and reshaped based on your local metagame, and how certain game situations hinge on knowing the right reasons for making certain decisions for it.
As part of MagictheGathering.com’s Swap Week, Mark Rosewater had to write an article as Jay Moldenhauer-Salazar. He decided to smash together a pair of preconstructed decks and try to make it work. That sounded like a great idea to me, so I decided to write an entire article of deck smashes.
As the Managing Editor of this here site here, I’m supposed to know a fair bit about Magic. Y’know, about decks, and tech, and… stuff. So far, I’m two articles into my series and the only nugget of Magic Wisdom you’ll find is that “America is like Draco.” Frankly, I’m disappointed with this. I expected more. So today, some honest-to-goodness Magic theory.
The incomparable blisterguy finally shakes the Hawaiian sand from his shorts, and shares his insights on the Magic Online metagame. Plus, an extended look ak the trade prices of online Constructed cards.
Recently, I sent a call out to our staff for articles on Two-Headed Giant. Zac leapt to the task… a little too vigorously. There’s tech and tips in here, to be sure… but you’ll not read an article like this too often, I can tell you.
Since I’ve become Managing Editor of this here site here, there’s been one thing that the Magic Community at large has pointed out about me.
No, it’s not that I’m bald… though, of course, I am.
It’s not that I’m fat… though again, I can’t deny it.

Peter takes a long hard look at some of the myths of Magic… just how much does Luck determine the outcome of a tournament? With detailed analysis of the Owling Mine phenominon of Pro Tour Honolulu, this article raises valid points on metagame deck selection.
