Today’s Flores Friday is the first installment of our “Two-Headed†Morningtide Standard review. Mike, in collaboration with the Innovator, shares his thoughts on the new cards for Standard play. Sure, everyone wants four Mutavaults, and Countryside Crusher is making a splash… but what other cards should we be picking up while they’re cheap? Tune in on Monday for Patrick Chapin’s conclusion!
Last week, Portugal’s Tiago Chan walked us through some Sealed Deck with Morningtide action from a local tournament. The forum folk enjoyed his fresh approach, and thus Tiago decided to do it all over again today! He brings us a full Sealed pool, separated by color, and breaks down the options presented. It’s a tough one today, and when the dust settles even Tiago is unsure he made the right choices. Can you solve this tricky puzzle?

Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we’re going to be taking a long, hard look at the Organized Play programs of Magic. The Pro Tour, Grand Prix, the Pro lifestyle, what it means to live off Magic, and if Wizards of the Coasts recent changes could mean big challenges coming to the Pro Tour in the near future. Please be aware that the following views are my views alone, and not necessarily the views of StarCityGames.com.
With some solid ideas under my belt last week, my mission should I choose to accept it was to learn what to do with the modern Goblin tribe. We are all pretty used to seeing the goblins of Onslaught in action, but these new kids on the block raise a lot of questions and keep yammering about their aunties when we try to peg their role in the scheme of things.
Here it is, folks! Our Morningtide set review, looking at the cards that’ll make a splash in the Extended metagame.

Kyle planned on attending a PTQ last weekend… sadly, things didn’t quite pan out. Instead, today’s Down And Dirty sees the inestimable Mr Sanchez interview Tom LaPille and Paul Cheon on their lives both inside and outside Magic.

Morningtide is not even on sale yet, and already the singles are running the gamut in terms of price. Dave breaks down what a player with a tight wallet should be focusing on obtaining.
Hello folks, and welcome back to one of the oldest ongoing casual columns on the ‘Net. If you read last week’s article, then you know that I am reviewing the entire Morningtide set from several casual angles…
With a plethora of choices available to the Vintage player – including fast aggro, storm combo, and tempo decks – Stephen has turned his head towards a control creation… yes, that’s right: Doctor Teeth is back! The Vintage World Champion looks at Tog in the current Vintage metagame, and runs the deck through the wringer at a local Vintage tournament.
Red Deck Wins has been a mainstay on the Extended scene for many a season. With Lorwyn, and now Morningtide, can the little Red (and sometimes Green) guys still kick ass and take names against the likes of Doran, Ravager, and Hierarch? Benjamin Peebles-Mundy thinks they can…
