Tuesday, July 6th – I watched Italy play terribly on the morning of EDH League, so I was angry. It was really a letdown to see gli azzurri so dominated by such a lesser squad. The only deck to play angry is Kresh (okay, maybe Karrthus, but still, Kresh is much angrier). After playing a few casual games, I popped Altar of Dementia out of Karrthus and into Kresh for some serious shenanigan value…

Tuesday, July 6th – This is not an article about M11. I am going to discuss the recent actions taken by Wizards of the Coast.
Monday, July 5th – I don’t normally care for strategy articles. Magic has been around for quite a long while, and there are about a billion articles on the subject of bringing your game to the next level, tournament preparation, etc. Every time I read an article that advises me to get plenty of sleep before a big tournament, I punch my computer right in the face.

Monday, July 5th – My last PTQ was March 14, 2009, and was an Extended PTQ in Philadelphia. Last Saturday, I went to Philly to play in the PTQ. Actually, I more or less went to hang out, grab lunch at the Reading Terminal Market, and test Legacy; the playing of the PTQ part was kind of an afterthought.

He also supplies another mono-colored Standard deck… one that doesn’t use Forests!
Monday, July 5th – Jund scares the best of people away. They run into the other room, perhaps to grab their mothers or even wives to dump their problem on another pair of eyes. They grab a book and pound away, but what they don’t even realize is how ineffective their primitive tools are.
