Use something cool as tokens. The best markers I have found are bullets. I picked up a box of .45 caliber bullets from a friend who had sold his pistol and still had the ammunition. Nothing says love like adding another bullet to the table.
We’ve been given a gift – we know the next set for Odyssey block down to the card. That gives us more time… But can we ask the right questions that let us break OBC wide open? That, and a special editorial apology for the Rizzo Fiasco.
Pierre rates most of the mechanics that have been seeded through the Magic Blocks, ranking them by playability, complexity, and power level.
We’ve got a few months to look at OBC – and the sooner we start the better. Let’s look at the top 64 decks from Osaka and see what Judgment adds to them.
Will creates his second Deck Clinic for beginners, this time asking the critical thoughts behind tempo play… And let me ask you a question: Does StarCity (or anyone) need beginner articles?
Zvi has Pro Tour experience and a rep as a rogue deckbuilder to review these cards. I can only offer anecdotes replete with”drive-by sack moonings” and tales of urination on statues. Oh, and some ideas for Red deckbuilding.
What if I played Magic like Yoda, the diminutive Jedi Master from the Star Wars movies of George Lucas? I have some ideas on what would happen. I also have some ideas on what black Judgement cards will do to Type 2, but they’re not nearly as amusing.
It’s CHAOS! Chaos Magic, that is, and how someone did sixteen points of elf damage on the first turn. Say, why don’t you share your craziest multiplayer stories and get $5 in StarCity credit?
Everyone knows that monogreen is dead in OBC, at least for now – I mean, Finkel and the OMSes played it and died horribly, right? But if you look closer at the results and some of the subtle difference between green decks, you may find a healthy deck waiting for a Judgement infusion.
Blue has some good cards in Judgement. (Hand off the keyboard.) Yeah, my reputation is safe. For my next piece of analysis, I’ll talk about how there’s a good chance of instability in the Middle East.
The Reverend sees the light and takes up the torch! Yes, Rizzo and Wakefield were the best writers ever… And Wachter must follow, showing off his dogs, his music, and beating the crap out of Zev Gurwitz! Possibly the funniest Magic article ever, though it’s not for the easily offended.
I think I can be the next Rizzo, or at least a reasonable facsimile… And so I’m going to go over the Judgement cards for Constructed, a color a day, while including foul jokes and unrepentant humor.
The Knutmaster analyzes Regionals to see what the major trends were, asks Flores and other historians for some help, discusses Judgement’s brokenness, and lists movies. Business As Usual, except now he has snarky editorial inserts!
Four games against Stompy are highlighted, and Oscar stomps the heck out of ’em with Pure Control. Hey, one game is even close!
