I am now convinced that Alex Shvartsman must be one of the best players on Earth. All he does is travel to every Grand Prix in the world and make top eight. I’d write an article entitled”Searching for Alex Shvartsman”… But I don’t think I could find him.
Dave’s amazing tourney report. (Well, I may not have invented it, but I popularized it: The Ferrett)
Will any of Torment’s critters make it into the rarified air of Type One? Doubtful. And yet Oscar believes that one or two may be spongeworthy….
Many players bringing twenty-five cards. One deck. One graveyard. And only a couple of Avatars to share.
By new, I don’t mean that I’ll show you how Peek could be replaced with Obsessive Search, or that you can fit Basking Rootwalla into a R/G deck. Here’s some new ideas for the upcoming season.

He didn’t dare put in EmbOLDen or ArmAGEddon, but Peter still managed to throw together a deck based around old critters. How did it fare?
What opportunities does Torment provide for multiplayer? What opportunities does it miss? And what Card can we Break? Anthony examines the set broadly, color by color… And then channels rules-lovin’ Rizzo like it ain’t no thang.
Well, as has been my tradition, I will once again analyze the flavor texts of the new set in order to increase storyline and flavor text awareness in the general Magic community.
I was a little unsure about Peek – but hell, if Zvi thinks it’s worth a try in my Psychatog deck, I’m willing to trust him and give it a go!
I found Jeff Wiles’ article entertaining and enlightening at the same time. It is interesting that he actually tried to win, and also that he plays Blue in trying to do so. Both are fatal mistakes.
Over the course of time, Magic players inevitably turn away from Magic R&D to try their hand at creating cards.
