In answering reader mail, Anthony sets out the steps for making sure your first few decks are competitive. Just goes to show you that if you suggest an article, we’ll find a way to write it!

The development of OBC post-Judgement is moving along expected paths: Monoblack remains unchanged, Blue/green is morphing into Quiet Roar, monogreen gets a radical overhaul with Judgement goodies, and everyone’s trying to put together a Green/white deck. What else is there?

I know that’s not supposed to happen. Saga block had all those broken cards. Saga block spawned all the horrible decks that were no fun to play. Wizards had to ban or restrict most of Saga block. Saga block was a mistake, right?

Green should be the color of diversity. In fact, I submit that green should have access to every mechanic in the game that multiple colors share – every one. It should simply pay more for effects that are not traditionally greenish…

Well, that’s a lie; there are only five questions. But one thing is
guaranteed, these questions will make you a better player. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, or whether you’re Eugene Harvey fresh from your Nationals win. Well, maybe not if you’re Eugene. But the rest of you.

• My deck is like a box of Raisin Bran. Every match consists of two scoops.


• My deck is so good, Kamahl/Shower decks pay it protection money.

So I’m walking around some event and I see Mark Rosewater. Of course I march right up to him and whip out my Lance. He gives me a funny look, like he doesn’t understand why I’m showing him my Lance.
“Care to explain this?” I say, holding the Lance closer so that he can view it.”It’s bent,” he responds, shrugging his shoulders. I’m a little miffed at him ignoring the more obvious issue – the fact that my Lance is underpowered.

It turns out that Gary Wise, the master of Limited had had a horrible day yesterday and was on ten points, just like me. Well, I have a chance to do my reputation some good here and whup him…. But did I?

Why does Scott Johns think You Suck? Teddie Kneutered asks the question, and applies it to his playstyle, showing you the mistakes he’s made and how he’s raised his rating. While he’s at it, he hates my stupid nicknames for him – and is willing to pony up some good cards to have you create one! Oh, and badger testicles.

The fact that our front page now takes less than twenty seconds to load wouldn’t generally considered a triumph. But our database servers are finally going full-speed, and heck if the front page doesn’t load in .88 seconds by my watch! Yee and haw.

Also, anyone wanna scroll down and plug a card into our new”Ask The Virtual Judge” program? Thought so. Try it; it’s way cool.

Oh yeah; do me a favor and check the articles that are further down the page, too. They’re well worth your time.
