Tuesday, March 25th – As you can see below, we’re maxing out the LLM walkthrough love with the return of Drafting With Rich. Of course, this doesn’t mean we’ve no more room for other Limited opinions… Today’s Limited Lessons sees Nick walk us through an 8-4 draft of his own, opting for the road less traveled when it comes to conventional archetypes: Black/Red Giants.
Tuesday, March 25th – Extended season is winding down, and PTQ players have likely chosen their deck of choice for this coming weekend. Of course, not all preparation is flawless… with mere days until the Last Chance Saloon opens its doors, those folk requiring a change of deck direction could do worse than turn their eyes to Domain Zoo. Tom LaPille walks us through the details…
Tuesday, March 25th – Right now, Standard on Magic Online, at least as far as 8-mans go, looks to be 90% composed of four specific decks: Faeries, Elves, Red Deck Wins, and U/W Reveillark take up a huge portion of every single one I enter. Perhaps this will change as the high cost of Morningtide cards has dropped down to the normal Magic Online flow, i.e. anything that isn’t utterly ridiculous costs between 1-3 tickets.
Tuesday, March 25th – That’s right, folks… Rich Hoaen is back! The renowned Canadian Limited maestro returns to bring us a Lorwyn/Lorwyn/Morningtide draft each day from the 8-4 queues of Magic Online.

Tuesday, March 25th – In a bizarrely complementary companion piece to last week’s efficiently-titled ‘Why?’ Rich Hagon returns with every answer you could possibly need. Except the one about the Bahrainian Oil Crisis of 1736. And the winner of Pro Tour: Hollywood. But every other question. Seriously.
Tuesday, March 25th – In the last few weeks, a wealth of information has exploded onto the Magic scene. Unfortunately, not much of this is Legacy info. Fortunately, it’s Extended info, and never before have two formats resembled each other as much as Legacy and Extended do this season. I firmly believe that the parallels between the two formats can be used to uncover technology that may have been overlooked by the people focusing on one format, but not the other.
Monday, March 24th – A bunch of Merfolk that like to tap. A bunch of very nice things to tap them. But how can all of that tap-happy synergistic work compare with a crazy set of rares in the opponent’s hand?
Monday, March 24th – After many months of intense Magical preparation, today’s Innovations sees Patrick Chapin letting his hair down and waxing poetic. He brings us his thoughts on Standard, shares an amusing story or two, and makes a few predictions about the upcoming Pro Tour: Hollywood…
Monday, March 24th – A hearty congratulations is in order for Ryohei Masuno and Taischi Fujimoto who both managed to navigate through a difficult two days of Japanese GP competition with Elf decks. That said, they weren’t really playing Elf decks… I’ll show you an Elf deck!
Monday, March 24th – Vintage Magic is currently going through somewhat of a renaissance, but there are still universal truths. For example, everyone knows the format is the most broken format in the game. Today, Stephen Menendian breaks down what some people have called the best deck ever made. Do you agree with his assessment?

Friday, March 21st – Grand Prix: Philadelphia saw Mike Flores pilot the perennial Blue/Green Combo favorite Heartbeat of Spring into the heat of battle. Sadly, things didn’t go according to plan on the day… today’s Flores Friday examines the reasons why. Mike shares one particular turn in which he feels the wheels may have fallen off the wagon…
Friday, March 21st – When we look at the Top 8 decks from any given tournament, we plan on updating our gauntlet with the new and powerful strategies. However, what do we do when four similar strategies appear with differing card configurations? Adrian explains the art of amalgamating decklists in order to streamline our testing process.
Friday, March 21st – Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. In this week’s episode, we travel to Grand Prix: Philadelphia in the great state of Pennsylvania. Over eleven hours of travel to and from, technical issues galore, a huge glut of Magic stars to talk to, and the result is this week’s Magic Show. BONUS: Watch the edited finals, with pretty pictures of the cards and everything!
Friday, March 21st – It should come as absolutely no surprise at all that when it comes to playing Grand Prix: Philadelphia, I was going to side with the Goblins. With a little twisting and a little tuning, I’d arrived at the list I was happy with, changing one little thing here and another little thing there until I was pointed exactly where I wanted to be.
