Yesterday, I wrote a deck on one of my favorite Saviors cards. There are so few cards in Saviors that are worth our time that we might as well focus on the good ones. With that principle in mind, I built a deck around another gem from Saviors, Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant.
Dan Paskins has already played in English Regionals. Want to know what the master Red mage played and what advice he has on the format in general? Step inside, my friends, step inside…
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?
Interested in seeing what decks the goofy rogue designers might be playing at Regionals this year? Chad Ellis has a few ideas, and one of them might actually be quite good.
Today, I am proud to introduce the newest member of the Star City family… StarCityVS.com!

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!

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.
