Friday, July 16th – I reckon I am in the vast minority here, but I actually like Frost Titan. One of the things that I think turns people away from the card (and from a lot of cards) is that it wasn’t printed how they had imagined / wanted. “It would be so much better if it had shroud,†I’ve heard people lament. Yes. It would.
Friday, July 16th – Earlier this week, Antoine Ruel picked up the Turboland deck, and challenged Manuel Bucher and his Mythic Bant deck to a Standard face-off. Antoine shared the matchup from the land-heavy perspective… Now it’s the turn for Mythic to spread its considerable wings.
Friday, July 16th – Just when you think the pre-M11 Standard format is dying, Gerard Fabiano brings us an exciting Blue/Black Control deck that packs a powerful punch in the current metagame! He breaks down the build and the match-ups today, and suggests that the deck is a candidate for glory in the evolving M11 Standard metagame!
Friday, July 16th – Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we sit down with Patrick Chapin and get his thoughts on M11, Magic Online, his favorite cards, and how the Hivemind and lack of deckbuilders impact this game we adore. Let’s go!
Friday, July 16th – Continuing his review from last week, Dave picks out the top commons from M11.
Friday, July 16th – Last week, Cedric began the M11 instalment of his popular Overrated and Underrated series, highlighting the cards he believes are being badly evaluated by the Magic populous. Today, he completes the job, calling out a number of powerful cards that he believes will not cut the proverbial mustard.
Friday, July 16th – Brian Kibler continues the M11 discussion today, for both Limited and Constructed play. He outlines a number of cards and synergies that should rock the forty-card format, and gives his opinion on the M11 Limited format as a whole, before turning to Constructed to discuss a number of strong options that are on everyone’s mind…
Friday, July 16th – It’s that time again, where we take a critical eye at the new Magic set and see how it impacts the color Green. I have to admit, Wizards has really done some great things for Green in the past few years, but we can’t forget that Green spent a long time as the undisputed worst color in Magic and there’s still need to have strong advocates for the color.
Thursday, July 15th – Last week, Sam Black analysed the Core Set comings and goings dictated by the arrival of M11 and the approaching departure of M10. With White, Blue, and Black put to the sword already, Sam turns his eye toward Red, Green, Artifacts, and Lands. What has gained, and what has lost out? Sam reveals all…
Thursday, July 15th – Like many a mage last weekend, Hall of Famer Raphael Levy rocked out his local prerelease. Today, he shares his first impressions of the current Core Set Limited format, listing two sealed decks and presenting a host of tips and ideas on the relative strengths of the new spells. With the release events this weekend, and M11 draft important for a host of Nationals competitions, Raph leads the way into this brave new forty-card format!
Thursday, July 15th – We have the brackets. Play has begun, both online and off. This week, it’s Faeries versus Replenish, Mythic Conscription battles Deadguy Red, Corrupter Black takes on Academy, and Rec/Sur goes up against Necropotence. Time for some coverage!
Thursday, July 15th – With M11 hitting the street, and with Release Events this weekend and M11 Sealed Grand Prixs tournaments on the horizon, I thought that it’d be useful to write a piece on Core Set Sealed theory as it pertains to M11 before sharing a Sealed pool.
Thursday, July 15th – As judges, we’re under careful scrutiny from the Magic public. I certainly don’t mind being held to a high standard, but it does present a very interesting circumstance in which, even when I’m not on the floor, judging can often dictate my behavior…
Thursday, July 15th – With the Standard format receiving a Core Set shot in the arm, the current Decks To Beat face fresh challenges in the build department. New options can spell new directions, and while Jund with M11 is similar to decks of old, the new M11 sheen asks questions of pilots and opponents alike. Craig Wescoe presents his new list, and talks us through the salient strategic decisions.
Thursday, July 15th – With M11 freshly conscripted to the Standard fight, Adrian Sullivan looks at two of his current favorite decks – Mono Red and Blue/White Control – and suggests their possible directions in the coming weeks and months. If you’re looking for a leg-up on the opposition, Adrian’s got your back!
