All that, plus the Top 8 mirror match between the married couple, the Eldrazi Green versus G/W Eldrazi Top 4 match, and more! Let’s go!
Friday, November 13th – Last weekend was one that this Green mage was very happy about. While I enjoyed personal success with a deck built around one of the coolest Green cards to be printed in some time, that FNM moment paled in comparison to the gigantic splash Kali and Todd Anderson made at the StarCityGames.com $5000 Standard Open in Nashville on Saturday…
Friday, November 13th – It’s an M10 draft. You’re solidly in Red-Blue with goodies like Air Elemental, Mind Control, Shivan Dragon, and Goblin Artillery, plus solid commons to give you around fifteen playables. Booster three comes along and, whoa baby, there she is, Baneslayer Angel in all her glory. What do you do?

Thursday, November 12th – Jund is currently the Elephant in the Standard Metagame Room, and everyone is looking for ways to bring it down. Decks like Nissa Monument are great steps in the right direction, but Ced believes we can go further. He examines the ways in which we can attack what he describes as the worst “best deck†ever built.
Thursday, November 12th – Magic is a game filled with thousands of individual cards. Each is unique in its own way, and each is good at doing particular jobs. Serra Angel attacks and blocks. Lightning Bolt can kill your opponent, or your opponent’s creatures. Mind Rot removes your opponent’s options.
Thursday, November 12th – Last week, I traveled to Renton to meet up with the Online Team and go head to head with the Wizards themselves.

Wednesday, November 11th – Once upon a time, I did a set review for Shards of Alara, and in that review I foolishly bashed on Elspeth, Knight-Errant, asserting that she was just a “four-mana Angelic Blessing.†So, as one might guess, I know what crow tastes like. A month or so back, I said that “I was wrong about Elspeth, but I just don’t see it with Nissa.†… Oops.
Wednesday, November 11th – We have a lot of social interaction in Magic, and sometimes we end up playing people we don’t like, or are just bothered by. Sometimes, we have interactions we aren’t comfortable with. Sometimes, though, you’re that guy, and you don’t even know it. Today, I want to go over some things that I’ve witnessed or even done that you probably shouldn’t do.
Wednesday, November 11th – Hello readers! I hope you have been enjoying your day thus far. Today I want to go back to an idea I’ve explored a few times: exploring a card, talking about a bunch of things you can do with it, and building a few decks where appropriate.
