Welcome back to the Grand Reweave Experiment. I guess it sounds kind of arrogant, calling it that, huh? There are not too many Reweave experiments going on, though, so I guess I can put on some airs until there’s another one. Anyway, thanks again to everybody who’s sticking with me this week and responding in the forums.
Just what the title says, folks. Fans of this excellent series are sure to continue reading, while the rest of you may as well hop on board now and catch up on the first two installments.
Enduring Ideal is very expensive – but anything that lets you put cards directly into play, without regard to mana cost, is very powerful. Wizards obviously thinks so – the card costs seven mana, and prevents you from casting anything for the rest of the game. Those are some serious drawbacks. This deck is just food for thought now, but before you dismiss the whole idea, consider two things. First, it costs 5WW, but at least one Tier One deck also relies on a seven-mana sorcery. Second – Enduring Ideal says, “put into play.” That means I can Confiscate your North Tree.
With each day bringing more and more set reviews, it’s time to focus our efforts a bit. While everybody else is saying, “Good in Limited, poor in Constructed,” for dozens of cards, we’ll actually review them for a purpose. So instead of listing every card, and then saying how much it sucks in 5-Color compared to previous cards, I’ll just skip it altogether. What you get is just the good ones.
Today Zvi looks at the mediocre, the boring, and the uninspired of Saviors Blue, sprinkled every so often with a card that looks intriguing. Which ones are the wheat and which are the chaff? Only Mowshowitz knows…

Every year one article is written that definitively sets the stage for the upcoming Regionals metagame, detailing what the field looks like, which decks are under- and over-rated, and picking the de facto king of the hill that is likely to dominate the U.S. tournaments. This year, Sean McKeown has written that article and those of you that somehow skip this article will find yourselves regretting that fact a month from now.
Adam breaks down what is sure to be one of the most popular archetypes at Regionals around the world, creature by creature and spell by spell, all in an effort to help you build the most competitive deck possible.
So, in my first day of the Grand Reweave Experiment, it should not be surprising that I submitted an absolute pile of a U/W deck based upon the combo Reweave + Yosei, the Morning Star. The only thing good about the deck was that its incredible sucktitude pointed out some important things to me I needed to learn. Today’s task is to begin to apply those lessons and come up with something a bit more competitive.
Usually the third set in a block heralds the arrival of some of the most broken cards we see each year, but is Saviors of Kamigawa different? See what Zvi has to say today as he delves into Saviors White.
Today Chad looks at the most important thing to pay attention to when doing playtesting. This is something that will not only make you a better player and teach you the intricacies of a matchup, but it will also make you a better deck designer as well and help you tune your decks like the Pros.
