Monday, January 26th – A Disqualification is the worst possible way for a player’s tournament to end. Check that. Getting dragged out of the tournament site in handcuffs by the police is worse, which I have seen happen, so a DQ is at the very least second worst.

Friday, January 23rd Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we’re focusing on Conflux, and while I’ve been busy on my interviews with Magic movers and shakers over the past two weeks, over half of the set has made its way onto the interwebs.

Friday, January 23rd – With the rise of Faerie Wizards in the metagame, regardless of whose list you’re rocking it with (American or Japanese) it’s easy to note that it has been shaping the metagame around it. Faeries takes a bite out of Elves, stifling that deck choice near to irrelevance at the PTQs we’ve seen so far, and has a reasonable matchup against Zoo as well, so new innovations were necessary to escape the tricksy Wizard tribe and their previously-irrelevant lair at the Riptide Laboratory.
Friday, January 23rd – I appreciated LA weather – or at least not being in the Madison weather – a bit more than usual. Thursday night in LA, we were eating outside in shirtsleeves, while Madison was somewhere around -20 degrees. In LA, I was walking on green grass. Well, in Madison, I could do that, too. Very faded grass – and only if I first scrapped off a couple feet of snow – but we have green grass down there somewhere.
