Tuesday, June 8th – Constructed metagames adapt with each new tournament, and the more successful mages always seems a step ahead of the crowd. Today, Kyle Boggemes looks at both Standard and Legacy, suggesting lists for both formats, and shares some interesting tips to help us get to grips with any given format…
Tuesday, June 8th – What’s beefier and more filling than a Philly cheesesteak sandwich? Sixteen hot, steamy new Legacy decklists from this weekend’s StarCityGames.com Legacy Open in Philadelphia! You don’t need to fight over Pat’s or Geno’s to figure out what decks topped out this weekend. From sleek Zoo to hearty Lands, a variety of decks made the cutoff with lots of new tech and interesting innovations. Check out this week’s Legacy’s Allure for a full run-down on what to expect for your Legacy summer!
Monday, June 7th – Hall of Famer Zvi Mowshowitz rocked into Pro Tour: San Juan with the breakout deck of the tournament: Beastmaster Green. Today, he shares some initial lists that he and his team created and discarded, and lets us into the processes that inspire one of the strongest deckbuilding minds in history.
Monday, June 7th – If you’re not part of a global Superteam, there’s never been a better opportunity to reach the Top 8 of a Pro Tour than the forthcoming event in Amsterdam. Rich explains how three months of hard work and dedication, plus one or two very important shortcuts, can give you the chance to mix it up with the very best.
Monday, June 7th – For Raphael Levy, Pro Tour: San Juan capped of a rather uninspiring six months of Magic. Today, he shares his thoughts on the format, and outlines his deck choice and team inputs. He also has a few kind words to say for an overlooked Black rare in Limited play…
Monday, June 7th – In this week’s edition of Innovations, Patrick Chapin discusses Brian Kibler’s successful changes to the Next Level Bant deck for Grand Prix: Sendai (Congratulations, Brian!), what the M11 Core Set has to offer, and much more!
Monday, June 7th – I want to clarify some points from my article last week, and at the same time, I expect some of what I say here will serve to set off a larger and more heated debate. In discussion on part of my last article (the part that wasn’t deck lists), it became clear that I may not have communicated some of my opinions on Vintage accurately or clearly, so I will try to do so this week in greater detail. [Editor’s Note – Congratulations, Matt!]
Monday, June 7th – King of the Fatties Jamie Wakefield introduces himself for those unfamiliar with his legacy, and has a few strong words for those who doubt him. He also tries a different spin on his Green-loving deckbuilding, and returns to a pair of numbers that have been synonymous with him since he started playing…
Monday, June 7th – After three crazy days in DC, I am finally in San Juan. I am back on the Pro Tour again – and I hope this time I can stay on. I am only two hours in, and this already reminds me how awesome the Pro Tour is.
Friday, June 4th – During my short tenure here at StarCityGames.com, I’ve written two articles on a subject that is generally shoved to the wayside: Block Constructed. I posed the not-so-subtle “should I write about this subject again†question at the end of my last article, and the response was a fairly enthusiastic “sure, whatever.†In all seriousness, people seemed to enjoy the articles, as it’s a subject that doesn’t receive too much attention, which of course is because it’s not too applicable in our everyday Magic-playing universe.

Friday, June 4th – I’m afraid to say this is not the revival of the old Chris Richter articles to solve your rules questions, but thankfully, the forums have a wonderful section for just that issue. No, this is a whole other kind of frequently asked questions. As a judge, I get a lot of questions that don’t involve the rules, or policy. Many players can be very social with us, and want to get to know us, and learn about what we do.
Friday, June 4th – Antoine Ruel brought us the Planeswalker Perspective above… Now it’s Manu’s turn, with Mythic Conscription. Antoine believes the Mythic deck is the perfect choice for your next Standard tournament. Will it do the business this weekend at the StarCityGames.com Open in Philadelphia?
Friday, June 4th – Earlier this week, while playing in a mid-week draft, I got into a discussion with one of the players about the particularly poor quality of the rares in our box. No Gideon, Sarkhan, or Vengevine made for a definitely sub-standard value box. I ended up grabbing a Realms Uncharted…
Friday, June 4th – Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we’re live and in person at Pro Tour: San Juan, talking to Pros, Magic R&D, and more about Zendikar Block “Truths,” choosing to draw first, and how ROE came to be. Let’s go!
