Monday, July 6th – I was planning on writing an article about Limited today, but I feel as if Standard post-M10 needs a little bit more attention. It is the Constructed format for Nationals, and thus the most important to me. There are so many cards are leaving the format, destroying “established” decks but spawning very few new ideas.
Monday, July 6th – Olivier Ruel recently provided some good advice for self-improvement – ways to make you a better and more successful, Magic player. I thought it might be useful to focus and expand on this idea by looking at what actions you can take before, during, and after a tournament with the specific goal of realizing self-improvement.
Friday, July 3rd – I missed my article last Monday. But that article was almost ghost-written by my boss, Pete – and it would have read like this:
The Ferrett, webmaster and long-time writer for this site, died on Tuesday evening due to complications arising from a burst appendix…
Friday, July 3rd – With Standard altering beyond measure in mere weeks, those of us with PTQs in the meantime are clamoring for tech, decks, and tips in order to pick up a Blue Envelope. Cedric Phillips, master of the White Weenie, delivers today with an excellent primer and matchup guide for players who enjoy swinging for two…

Friday, July 3rd – With the release of Magic 2010 right around the corner, we will soon be leaving behind Shards of Alara / Conflux / Alara Reborn Limited for the unknown shores of what is shaping up to be the most interesting Core Sets in recent memory.
Friday, July 3rd – Given that there are always a few hiccups in the spoilers leading up to the prerelease, I thought it might be handy to look at M10 broadly – from a 5000-foot level, as it were – and read what the tea leaves tell us regarding what the good folk at Wizards have in mind for the game as they reboot the Core set.
Friday, July 3rd – This week was supposed to be a preview card for you fine readers, but it appears as if our friends over at MTGSalvation.com have managed to spoil the party (pun intended). But, since the card image itself hasn’t been leaked, let me at least give you a card image…
Friday, July 3rd – It is time for a brave new Core set! In Part 1 of Ben’s look at the Financial value of Magic: 2010 (M10), find out which cards Ben thinks are underpriced, which cards Ben thinks are overhyped, and which cards are the true sleepers of the set!

They share their Up and Down lists, and provide pick orders for archetypes as-yet uncovered.
Thursday, July 2nd – Faeries is dead… Long live Faeries! The introduction of a new set brings the Fae doomsayers out of the woodwork, but our fluttery friends aren’t quite in the grave yet. Paulo investigates the cards that will impact Fae from both sides of the table, and examines the rules changes with an eye on the Blue/Black menace…
Thursday, July 2nd – Everyone seems to know me as the Faeries guy, and, in all fairness, for good reason. Spellstutter Sprite has carried me to two Pro Tours and won me countless matches online. However, what’s far lesser known than my alignment with the winged menace is my affiliation with the Reveillark collective.
Thursday, July 2nd – My official job title at Star City Games is Events Coordinator. This typically involves promoting our events, staffing them, and then traveling throughout the Southeast to run them. Although I’ve never actually counted, it’s a safe bet that I run some thirty to forty events every year, everything from Prereleases to PTQs.
