Today’s subject is one of the original bad boys of Magic, current Vs. System designer Brian Hacker.

I don’t like Saviors of Kamigawa that much. Zvi recently claimed that it appeared like the sort of set he’d build if you gave him 24 hours. That’s exactly what it feels like to me as well. The only things this set will “save” you from are excitement and interesting cards. One of the cards that I really like, however, is Oboro Breezecaller. If you read either of my two previous Saviors articles, I mention that I think Breezecaller has serious potential. How can I ignore that potential when I start building my daily decks?

Today, I am proud to introduce the newest member of the Star City family… StarCityVS.com!

KK returns to take a look at five of the Hall of Fame nominees that deserve a little more press. Today he starts with the mad brit that makes your MODO run better, Alan Comer.

Hello, and welcome back to the Daily Deck-a-thon. For the week, we’ll be injecting life into the arm of Magic with your daily dosage of deck. The theme is pretty simple – I build a brand new deck followed by some comments. If you have any theme recommendations for decks this week, I’ll be happy to take a peak at them in the forums.

Alas, even editors need to take vacations every once in awhile — and you’d be surprised at how hard it is to find a reliable connection in Sandwich, Massachusetts. Thus, while I was able to edit the articles, I ran out of Internet just as I was about to choose the winners. Alas.

The winner was Tim Ward, who provided a pretty fantastic series on Slivers, ranking all the Slivers (or, um, almost all of them except for Mistform Ultimus). Tim wins this week’s $20 prize!

Next week’s challenge?

The Top Three Saviors of Kamigawa Multiplayer Cards.

You’ve had a couple of weeks to play with them — so what are the most powerful cards? Remember, we want articles, not listings, so show us your work with some suitably powerful Saviors-powered decks designed to plow the rest of the table ! (And for the record? We’ve already had someone win $20 for pointing out the Sekki, Seasons’ Guide/Pandemonium combo — you’ll have to be more creative than that.) So send your submissions into Mail us at https://sales.starcitygames.com/contactus/contactform.php?emailid=2 and you could win $20!

Ever since I started playing this game and learned of the Pro Tour, it’s been my lofty goal to play on that highest of stages. I’ve just wanted to qualify at least once for a Pro Tour event before I keel over (but by then, hopefully, someone will have an Animate Dead handy). I’ve come close, tantalizingly, on a few occasions. Today I’m going to talk about those occasions.

The month of June brings possibly the most eventful issues that Five-Color’s ever seen: the restriction of Contract from Below, the legalization of Portal (or most of it, anyway), the expansion from eighteen cards of each color to twenty cards, and errataing the Wishes. What do these changes potentially mean for Magic’s Biggest Format?
