Welcome back to both of you who have been waiting with baited breath for the next installment of,”The Casual Report.” Since the , I suspect anyone who was waiting for the next report has long since moved on to reading the lame, and (rarely) not-so-lame tournament reports being offered on the web. Since it has…
And then Peter Jahn replies to Will Rieffer’s comments on the expense and possible shift of Extended, and how Nether Spirit wouldn’t be good no matter what….
When should you play Ancestral Recall? What was the second-best use for Fact or Fiction In Type One? Oscar answers all of these and rejoices in some fan mail.
Mark Teskey will be telling this week’s story. Mark just sent his story to me instead of waiting to be taken up in the e-Pen chain; he will get a nice $5 Star City credit for his efforts. If you would like to get that $5, please send your most memorable multiplayer stories to me…
I make contradictory points in this article. Why? Because depending on what the DCI does next, Nether Spirit either is or isn’t a good Extended card.
Is it just me, or does everyone who look at this card just say,”Those losses aren’t acceptable” and pass it on? I’m pretty sure they do.

No, this is not the deck by J.J. Stors – but his deck is the reason why I decided to dust off my old Enchantresses and send it onto the battlefield once again. Resurrecting the archetype and updating it to challenge the top decks in the current Extended metagame was not as difficult as I…

4UU, Sorcery, Odyssey Rare Return all permanents to their owners’ hands. 1B, Enchantment, Odyssey Uncommon Discard two cards from your hand: Put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token into play. Last week, I participated in some Type II action. Now usually, the games are fun and I do all right – however, the fortunes must…
Do you wanna run out and drop $25 a pop on dual lands when the future of that format is the gag fodder of John Friggin’ Rizzo?
I wish everyone all the best for 2002; I’m excited about this new year. I get new coins (I live in the Netherlands and as of yesterday, we all changed over to the Euro) and new cards; I heard some wacky rumors about , and if they are true it is really going to be…
Rizzo looks at his last year’s predictions, then he makes more predictions for this year. They’re all ridiculous, of course, especially that thing about Zvi and Budde.
The Dark through In the last part of the article, I examined the beginnings of Magic: The Gathering from inception through Legends (which would be considered the ‘last’ of the classic sets). The first expansion set after Revised (which would mark the beginning of ‘modern’ magic via the Pro Tour and Type 2) was The…
