Thursday, June 18th – Wizards has announced some rule changes which will go into effect with M10 this summer. Things are changing. Change happens. Some of the changes will impact how the game is played. It’s not the end of the world. It isn’t the end of strategic play. Some cards will be better, some worse, but, overall, things will be fine. Seriously – I’ve been through a lot of rules changes, and this one is, comparatively, pretty insignificant.

Wednesday, June 17th – Today, I want to do something very simple. I want to build decks! Yay! However, there is one little trick. There’s just one simple little thing to spin today’s article. I cannot use any card that I normally use. No Swords to Plowshares, no Goblin Bombardment, no Harmonize, nothing.
Wednesday, June 17th – We have Conley, Gavin and Eric joining Tom this week to discuss the bomb that landed on Wednesday with the rules changes that come with M10. Read the full article here… the main rule change people are discussing is a change to combat: combat damage does not use the stack.
