Friday, April 4th – Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we’re going to be talking about Shadowmoor, the new mechanics, the cool new cards, and what we can expect to shake up Pro Tour Hollywood. We’ll also be discussing Shards of Alara, the follow-up block to Lorwyn coming this fall. Warning: Spoilers
Friday, April 4th – With Shadowmoor just a few weeks away, it seemed apropos to put together a final look at drafting Lorwyn before it disappeared from view entirely. Originally I had shied away from looking at Lorwyn-Lorwyn-Morningtide (LLM) draft too heavily, because I did an awful lot of losing early on by trying to force things I didn’t understand off the preconceived notion that the new cards worked a certain way.
Friday, April 4th – 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.

Thursday, April 3rd – Tournaments come and tournaments go, but one thing always remains the same: we never have enough time to fully prepare. Today’s Deep Analysis sees Richard Feldman explore some of the techniques employed to help manage our time wisely. By using and developing his U/G strategy from last week, he shows us deck design in action.
Thursday, April 3rd – Earlier this week, Patrick “The Innovator†Chapin brought us a fresh set of five decks for Standard. Today it’s the turn of Kyle Sanchez, and he doesn’t disappoint. He trawls through five more innovative decks for Standard, including a Mono-Green combo deck that deserves further investigation. Intrigued? Then read on!

Thursday, April 3rd – Hybrid mana? Untapping as a cost? Color-dependent creatures? Shadowmoor is kicking off its previews this week, and Dave can’t think of anything else but digging in and seeing what’s already been spoiled.
Thursday, April 3rd – Hello all, and welcome to the first of a series of five articles that will explore a hypothetical basic set that I created and balanced with some playtesting. This set is designed to do several things. First of all, it’s a lot of fun to put together, but very labor intensive, so it’s not a project I can do very often. Second, it’s tons of fun to actually read.
Wednesday, April 2nd – In the current Standard format, it appears that most decks look to start their game before that of their opponent, or they repeatedly throw enough game-winners into the mix that one of them will eventually stick. Today’s Peebles Primers sees BPM share his approach tactics for the current Standard format, before asking some pertinent questions on the role of Aggression in Lorwyn Block Constructed…

Wednesday, April 2nd – It appears that this week has been a week for reflection. We’ve had BDM’s game-store apologia, Noah Weil’s swan song, and enough Creature-Merfolk to make you never want to eat seafood again. For me, that reflection has been poignant, and not merely in a Magic sense…
Wednesday, April 2nd – Over a week ago now, I decided to quit worrying about my online rating and how badly I was doing in PEs and leagues and just play Magic. I had played in a number of Morningtide PEs, a league or two and done some drafting. It was time to build something around those cards. I just didn’t want to build the same thing as everyone else.
Wednesday, April 2nd – For the last EDH, I played a rather ridiculously tricky and powerful Experiment Kraj deck, so this time around I wanted to be more or less straightforward. Yes, I had some powerful cards, but I didn’t work in any infinite combo engines. The sickest thing I had going was Kiki-Jiki and either Reveillark or Karmic Guide…
