Over the years, lots of people have criticized Wizards and decided that Wizards doesn’t have a clue and makes lots of mistakes. But as someone who often complains to Wizards about policies, rules and events, I can tell you one big secret that shouldn’t be so big…
Michael says that he won’t let Wizards R&D off easily. What for? Producing one of the most popular sets in the history of Magic? Hell – I don’t think I’m going to forgive them for that either.
These are particularly eccentric decks. They do weird stuff, attract onlookers, make them laugh, make your opponent die smiling. People will want revenge against these decks when they lose – and they won’t mind being beaten again, because the decks are funny.
I will tell a tell of woe and regret (and a little bit of fun, too) that will make you embarrassed to be reading this article – which is probably how you feel every other week as well, but I can’t even control my own feelings of inadequacy, so get some Effexor or Viagra for yours, and move on.
Writing an entire article whose underlying message is clearly ‘This card should be restricted or banned’ and then asking for the reader’s input is stuffing the ballot box.
Yes, goblins doing what they do best: Cower and hide… Only when they are sure they have superior numbers, they will attack. But sometimes just attacking isn’t enough to kill the opponent.
I’m not going to tell you about stuff like Dogged Hunter and Catalyst Stone, because everyone has heard about those and how they’re going to make an appearance at a PTQ or GPT near you. No, I’ve got five new, solid OBC Sleepers. Hang on to your hats and check out what you might have been missing. Time for G-Money’s wild ride.
I have a fondness for quirky decks that might or might not be good enough to achieve the almighty Tier One status. Although most of the time this just means that I am repeatedly losing in testing to more established decks like Quiet Roar, occasionally I come up with a possible metagame call. But, you ask, Pedantic Learning?
If you build decks that walk all over everyone, every week, then your opponents are going to lose interest. Last time I talked about the broken Worldgorger Dragon multiplayer deck – but also mentioned how, once we had won the match, we pulled out fun decks and played some real Emperor. I want to describe those decks.
So there’s two Type One events going on on the same day and on the same block. You’d think that would mean that the Type One scene in Sarnia is fairly healthy… But sadly, such is not the case.
When a single card can get topdecked to win against practically all but half a dozen archetypes – never mind if it’s in a good or a bad mono blue build – something has to be wrong.
Thirty three years ago this Saturday, on July 20th 1969, three brave adventurers from a different era brought to a conclusion a fantastic voyage of epic proportions. Today, I’ll talk about Magic art that centers on the object of their journey.
The guys I draft with generally aren’t too terrible, but you all know that sometimes the ol’ brain goes on vacation when you’re busting and passing – and hell, maybe you could learn something. Like taking a first-pick Basking Rootwalla over a Laquatus’ Champion when you got passed a fifteenth-pick Patriarch’s Desire is, um, bad.

Ugh. I never thought I’d type the word”Tombfire” anywhere near a decklist – but it is nice to be able to Burning Wish on turn 3 to nullify a Quiet Speculation in OBC, no?
