This report is an example of multiplayer Magic gone horribly wrong. The games describe everything that is wrong with my current playgroup. This isn’t an attack on any of the members in particular – just read on and you will understand. A quick note before I get right into things: my thanks go out to…
In the glorious tradition of Sol Malka humor, I’d like to devote some space to convince you why you should vote Tan… Oh yeah, and strategy. Gotta put in some strategy.
Magic Online is the newest hot topic – but before I continue, a short refresher on the subject. A few months ago, Wizards announced it was going to release a new platform to play Magic: the Gathering. This platform is Magic Online, an Internet-based and used program that would allow you to play against anyone…
UU: Don’t do that.
3UU or no mana at all: Don’t do that, either.
2U: Put that back in your hand, and I’ll draw another”don’t do that” card.
How do you beat Dr. Teeth? Dave offers up some answers… But it’s like applying a Band-Aid to a severed limb.
The date: 01/18. The column: 0118. Coincidence that this is the exact time that Anthony simultaneously answers reader emails and holds a contest… FOR HIMSELF? You decide.
The new title has been chosen – and it’s”Double or Nothing!” Jim complains about the Masters coverage and discusses matchups.
Madness is a great name for what seems to be a very weird, counter-intuitive, rule-breaking mechanic. But will it make an impact on Constructed?
So what does Magic Online provide? Convenience. But convenience isn’t a part of the game.
sounds like a fun idea in principle. You take a set and then you dramatically focus it on one of the colours – in this case, black. Given that I’m one of those people who both enjoys the story and playing Magic, this seems like an excellent deal to me. As Magic became more story-driven,…
After our weeks of testing, I’d pretty much set my heart on playing Miracle Gro. Our testing had shown the deck had few flaws or weaknesses – and heck, it was a blast to play.
This week, Jeff Amick will amuse us with a tale about some multiplayer insanity. I am always looking for more stories – so if you have one, please send it to [email protected]. Battle For”Life,” by Jeff Amick Me and a couple buddies were playing some friendly multiplayer. I think there were about five of us,…
I have the fever – draft fever, that is, and it’s the worst case that I have ever encountered in my time in the game. I spend insane amounts of time and money drafting Odyssey, mostly because I consider it to be a true skill test of a Limited set – with many combinations viable,…
Over the last month, a plague has been spreading across StarCity’s site. It is insidious and subtle, but it is there. There has been support for prissy little white mages and their filthy lifegain tricks! This plague must be stopped here and now. Andrew Healy admits to being the white mage spreading this plague (although…
Maybe it was the amusing deck name, conjuring images of carefree children submerging spongelike dinosaurs in water to watch them grow. Maybe someone put the fear of into them. Or maybe it was just the perplexing shifting of the Extended metagame. One thing was for certain: Miracle Gro had reached Seattle. Although I did not…
