Wednesday, September 9th – Here I am again, in the lull between expansions. It’s times like these that I loathe being a Magic writer, as often it is difficult to find relevant topics to write about. As luck would have it, however, this week I’ve got a decent amount of content to cover. Zendikar spoilers are in full swing, and there are quite a few choice bits to sink our teeth into.
Wednesday, September 9th – Dave’s wife keeps promising she’ll come back to Magic. With all these new vampires, could her fascination with fangs win out over her reluctance to come back to Magic?

If you’re looking to improve your Limited game, this is the article series for you!
Tuesday, September 8th – I was eager to get out there and tussle it up with the new Chaos — er, I mean Plane cards. I wanted to see whether this new twist would resound with multiplayers around the world, or whether it’d just be some barely-played variant like Vanguard. So what’s the verdict?
Tuesday, September 8th – With travel and Grand Prix play taking Olivier’s time, today’s belated Reflecting Ruel sees the French master definitively answer the Play or Draw question for Limited play. He also discusses his personally disappointing performance at Grand Prix: Niigita.
Tuesday, September 8th – With recent Zendikar revelations over the past few days, it seems that the predicted demise of Extended may have been a little premature. Sam Black examines some of the new cards that will define the New Extended, and shares his thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of the approaching format. [Warning: Contains spoilers.]
Tuesday, September 8th – This week, Doug looks at the early Zendikar spoilers. With only forty or so cards spoiled already, the set looks amazing for Legacy! Zendikar is replete with several niche cards that might be very strong in Legacy. Doug presents a new favorite deck of his, an evolution of Landstill that’s on the up-and-up. Get the early scoop on the new set in this week’s Legacy’s Allure!
Tuesday, September 8th – In the past seven days, The Starkington Post (Bill Stark’s daily Magic blog) has brought us talk from the Zendikar party, PAX coverage, Zendikar spoilers, and more!
Tuesday, September 8th – Mana fixing, Elvish Foolishness (which isn’t a card, but might as well be), a mighty Planeswalker, and several cards that belong in your one-of-everything collection and nowhere else. These delights and more are just a click away, as the M10 Academy opens its doors once more.
Monday, September 7th – In today’s Innovations, Patrick Chapin looks at some of the stronger Zendikar offerings that have been revealed thus far. This set is shaping up to be incredible, and Patrick believes it will be the best selling Magic set ever printed. [Warning: Contains spoilers.]

Monday, September 7th – I am writing a special segment of Innovations today to unveil my first ever exclusive preview card, Archmage Ascension. I have been writing for years, but have been writing my reviews of upcoming new cards primarily based on reading information over at MTGSalvation. This time around, I am psyched to be trying something new, a preview card of my own.
Monday, September 7th – This will probably be the last Limited article I write for a while, since Zendikar spoilers are starting to fall through the cracks. Hopefully next week I’ll have some sick idea for a deck based on Warren Instigator and Fire Whip, but that is a bit premature… On to the draft!
Monday, September 7th – This week, I’m going to expand upon some comments I made last week regarding the health of tournament Magic, and look at the dealer / player dynamic. I’ll also discuss some updates on Oath and Ichorid in Vintage, leading into a full Vintage article next week.
