Thursday, December 24th – For my Christmas column, I had planned on doing a write-up on the inaugural game for my Tibor and Lumia “copy you” EDH deck.

Wednesday, December 23rd – Another forty names get their turn in the spotlight, as the Pro season gets put to bed before gearing up for another global onslaught in 2010.
Wednesday, December 23rd – As we close a year and a decade, it is time to reflect on Magic of the past. Last year around this time, I wrote on article about rediscovering older cards. For that article, I introduced a few cards that may have been lost to time, and a built a few decks around them. Today I want to do the same thing…
