Wednesday, January 28th – I actually got to play in an Extended PTQ last weekend. Not judging, not working – playing. Sweet. My record – not quite so sweet. I had the choice of the best deck in the format, the best deck I had played, and the deck I knew best. I played the latter – and I’ll talk about the deck, its evolution and how to win the impossible mirror.
Wednesday, January 28th – Over the years, I have written on all sorts of topics, from the grand to the tiny. I’ve written on decks and strategies; cards and opinions. I’ve created my own base sets. I’ve spent article after article on Five Color, Peasant, and other formats. From rare drafting to MagicShop and Shandalar to the Magic RPG, I’ve tried to come up with new ways of looking at the game. However, I have never, not once, written an article like today’s offering.

Tuesday, January 27th – Taking a break from Extended for the week while the results from Grand Prix: LA settle and the metagame adjusts, I’ll be looking at the exciting follow-up to Shards of Alara, Conflux, and its potential applications for the Standard metagame. Personally, I think this set is a big bust for any non-Standard format, but it absolutely reshapes the landscape of the current Standard metagame with a variety of hosers, unique playables, and niche cards that could power up unutilized archetypes.
