Wednesday, July 16th – A key element of the “acquisition process†that, it appears, has been one of WoTC’s many buzzwords for 2008, is making the process of playing in a tournament as fun as possible for the people that choose to do so. A well-run event provides an air of professionalism to Magic that suggests the people behind the game really do know what they are doing.
Tuesday, July 15th – We all had fun at the Eventide prerelease this past weekend, but now it’s time to knuckle down to the serious work of evaluating the new cards for Limited play.

Many of us have pondered what possible Purpose Rich Hagon has, and what degenerative logic could have led to his existence. Now, at last, he believes he knows, for he is a man on a mission, a man in search… of Miserable.
Tuesday, July 15th – U.S. Nationals is coming, and what does that mean for Ben? The last huzzah of several Time Spiral block (and Coldsnap) cards! Find out which cards Ben thinks you should trade off now, and which cards will hold their value after they’ve rotated out of Standard!

Monday, July 14th – A full 189 players showed up to do battle for a slot to Berlin on the Fifth of July. After just a few rounds we discovered that Mirrorweave is hands down the most rules intensive card in this Block format. Let’s just hand it the Humility Award now.
Monday, July 14th – This story begins with an announcement that was posted on The Source by Chris Lennon (Volt) advertising a Legacy tournament in Vancouver, WA. People start discussing the possibility about driving out to the tournament. This suggestion seemed to be joke at first. Driving across the country to play in Magic tournament where even if you win you can’t make more than equivalent of 200 dollars is pure madness. Or is it?

Friday, July 11th – With the Eventide prerelease this weekend, the time is ripe to have a good look at the set so far and try to figure out how Shadowmoor-Eventide Sealed Deck is going to work. Having played through the release of Apocalypse to complicate the otherwise allied-color Invasion/Planeshift Limited format, I think that is much more relevant example than the more recent Ravnica-Guildpact-Dissension. Warning: Contains Spoilers.
