Monday, March 31st – This month, Doug highlights a combo deck that’s been flying mostly under the radar for a few months.

Additionally, get an update on the Enchantress deck profiled last month in Unlocking Legacy.

Today’s Flores Friday see him try his hand with his beloved Mishra strategy against a number of the top-ranked decks in the modern metagame. Is he on to something?
Friday, March 28th – Merfolk, it seems, have gripped the public imagination. Earlier this week, we had Benjamin Peebles-Mundy and Kyle Sanchez sharing their builds.

Friday, March 28th – Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we’re wrapping up Grand Prix Philly in style, starting with the ultimate intro courtesy of Tim Aten, an interview with Head Judge John Carter, and we hear from the pros on how the recent Organized Play changes have affected them.
Friday, March 28th – With the ability to finally turn my eye away from Extended, it seems there is a rather interesting Standard metagame out there if you look for it. Unfortunately, I’d looked at the Standard metagame and neatly categorized it just like everyone else has, and came up with two different potential solutions to the current metagame: Merfolk, and Blue-based Control.
Thursday, March 27th – One of the most potent units of Magical currency is the decklist. While a lot of us are content to sleeve up winning creations built by others, the actual act of deck creation is where true riches can be found. Today, Richard takes us behind the counter and walks us through his deck creation thought process step by step… and gives us a promising Standard decklist into the bargain!
Thursday, March 27th – Kyle Sanchez rocked up to an Extended PTQ with a powerful Rock deck… and things went horrifically wrong. However, he’s not one to quail in the face of despair… Instead, he turned his afro to Standard. Today he presents a couple of decks for our delectation. One has a rogue feel, and the other is decidedly more fishy…

Wednesday, March 26th – The current Standard metagame is awash with options. One limiting factor, however, is the prevalence of a two-mana enchantment that spews a 1/1 flyer each turn. After a brief dalliance with a Teachings deck, LSV picked up a deck from the desk of Gerry Thompson and friends. While it looks familiar, it operates on a different level… and it plays like a dream. Intrigued? Then read on!
Wednesday, March 26th – If you check the Top 8s of Standard events both online and in real life, you’ll soon see that Faeries is the deck to beat. One way of taking down the flying menace is through copious use of Islandwalkers. Enter Merfolk, one of the more under-appreciated tribes in Lorwyn Constructed. BPM takes us through his own brand of Merfolk goodness, examining an archetype that is definitely on the rise.
