In the first of a regular column, Limited master Raphael Levy discusses some of the hidden gems of Ravnica/Ravnica/Guildpact draft. After his storming finals appearence at GP Barcelona – hot on the heels of his Top 8 at GP Cardiff – it’s safe to say that when Raphael speaks, we all should listen…

Is it all down to the mighty Grozoth? An entertaining and enlightening report from a man who’s definitely in form.
I’ve elected to take SCG Daily this week to further my plans of literary domination, and to continue revealing how much of an awful player I am. As you can see from the title of the article, I’ve gotten some of the best lessons I’ve learned in this game from horrible tournament failures, and I can’t think of any better way to be a helpful writer than to tell you what not to do. So listen up, kids, and don’t be like Ben.
Mike finishes off his series on Team Constructed in fine style… discussing a powerful, new creation that helped qualify two teams at the same PTQ! Confused? Don’t be. One team made it on ranking, and one Q’ed the traditional way (their report appears on Monday)! Wanna know more? All is revealed within…

In the past few weeks, I’ve talked about a plethora of decks. This is better than that, this put up such-and-such for numbers, this is what made the Top 4 of the Grand Prix… but we’re two weeks into the season, and as you know, two weeks in is plenty of time to find out that everything you knew was wrong.
For some reason (complete laziness), I never wrote about my experiences at the Honolulu Pro Tour. I’m still not going to, because the time has passed and my notes went through the washing machine a few times, but I do have a tropical lesson to share….
Yes, I’ll admit it… I’m a fanboy. While I’m not really a boy – unless you define “boy” as a 28 year old with a beard – I’m most definitely a fan. You see, I like to play Magic. I’m sure my writing for a Magic website has tipped you off on that already.

For today’s article from the Kitchen Table, Abe revisits one of his most popular deck creations – the oingy boingy special, Equinaut. Modified with new cards, does it still rock the casual scene? Only Abe can tell us…
Seriously… I’m a junkie. I’m hooked to that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff. Need a little blueberry to even me out. Some sapphire blue to stop the shakes. Ask around. It’s kinda sad actually… I’m compulsive about drafting Blue in RRG.
Joe Black (plus team) takes to the PTQ dancefloor, high-kicking with a Black/White Husk deck that slipped beneath the Pro Tour Honolulu Radar. Most opponents were shocked to see him there: after all, the man’s a PT staple. Armed with Husk, Osyp and friends took the whole hill o’ beans. Read on for the the low-down on what Osyp and Olivier Ruel call the current Best Deck in Standard…
Last month, Pete wrote an article about the how, why, and history of bannings. Nothing much happened when the new banned and restricted list came out on March 1st — but bannings and restrictions are causing a huge uproar in the 5-Color format. It’s safe to say that the format with Chaos Orb is in chaos itself.
