We live in exciting times. Everything is shiny and new. A brand new year, drowning everyone in anticipation, until we realise that every year is the same old nonsense. MagictheGathering.com has a new editor and, in unrelated news, so does some other Magic here site here somewhere…
Peter continues his series of interviews with the Great and Good of Magic history.
When I accepted this editorial gig, they never told me I’d face articles like this… Chris Romeo at his best, or worst. Love it or hate it, this is one article you’ll definitely remember…
When Dark Confidant first appeared, he made quite an impression on every Magic player that saw him. Time passed, and he slotted into a variety of decks and formats without being uber-impressive. However, has he a place in Magic’s most open (and degenerate) format? Michael vows to find out…
Goblins are fantastic. Goblins are brilliant. Goblins are wonderful. In fact, paint me red and call me Paskins – goblins are the best creatures in Magic. Today, we have a goblin-fest of epic proportions…
Today, the wise and wonderful Academy Rector takes to the red carpet – sorry, the Red Zone – and tells us a little about his life.
In the first of what promises to be an entertaining series, an extra-special guest interviews the original Tough Guy of Magic… the mighty Morphling.
It’s the last week that anyone’s going to care about Ravnica-only Limited, as Guildpact will be all the rage next week… And so The Ferrett goes nuts with digressions on his errant digits, a careful dissection of last week’s “What Would Readers Do?” situation, and – finally – a Blue/Black deck!
We’ve added fifty-thousand (yes, 50,000) Alpha, Beta, Unlimited and Antiquities singles to our inventory – while dropping prices on the majority of the cards in these sets by as much as 50%! Learn more about this massive inventory update, the fantastic Guildpact prices we’ll be offering at Grand Prix: Richmond, and more, all in this week’s Ben’s Corner!
You don’t care about my tastes in music.
You don’t want to hear me quote lyrics from people funnier than me.
You sure as hell don’t care about my copy of BASEketball.
You came here to read about Magic.
Our final installment has arrived and mourning has begun, for what once was Spring has now gone to Winter. Friday has arrived, and with it, the ending of our travels.
Welcome back to our Thursday installment of the coolest daily deck-a-thon this side of the Atlantic Ocean!
It took a while to get over being unable to make new Extended decks. This season saw one of the best Constructed formats in quite some time… though it seems Friggorid will be degrading our wonderful environment next year. Alas. On the bright side, I now have a reason to write about Vintage again. It’s time to celebrate the New Year and give out some vague and inaccurate predictions for 2006!
I believe that consistency is most important in Sealed, because power level is out of your hands in a number of ways. Build your deck to consistently incorporate the same plan over and over, as opposed to taking advantage of raw power draws that will only win a couple of rounds. Since most people would prefer to draw, I could squeak in with tempo. I have no idea if this is obvious to most. I was discouraged from this plan by many people… yet I finished higher than all of them.
Scrubdom forever, or a true start to a tourney career? The choice was mine, and I made it. I vowed to, yes, finally claw my way up, to make some kind of showing at a real tournament. I swore to emerge from my warm and snuggly prerelease cocoon and stretch my damp little wings in the cold and unforgiving world of PTQs, GPTs, MREs, etc. This article series will detail my antics and hi-jinks along the way, and, if you’re lucky, maybe even an honest-to-God caper.
