CASUAL FRIDAYS #102: Not At All About Magic

Not much humor or game strategy to offer this week.

Intentional Draws And Unintentionally Silly Drafts

Invasion block draft has really been getting on my nerves lately. It seems as if in every draft I’m in I end up playing, at the very least, three colours. More often than not, it’s four or five. It’s not that the decks aren’t good or that I keep getting manascrewed, because they’re usually okay…

Agonizing Demise

It’s been almost two months since I wrote an article now, and frankly, I wish this didn’t have to be it.

Pikula And Other Stories Of The World Trade Center

I hung around on IRC, and caught the holiest of”Holy Pikula” moments. I actually saved the log – and though it might seem lighthearted now, I think we were still too shocked to notice.

Deal Them Now, More Than Ever

Magic, and inadequate and inappropriate as it is to bring up a card game when America mourns, may be one of the few things we have left to keep our sanity alive.

Looking Towards New York

The Magic community is a strong one. I hope that, as a Magic community – and more importantly, as a community of people – we can find a peaceful way to get through this.

Wise Words – September 11th, 2001

When I got home from PT: New York, I started packing. Awaking after getting in late on Sunday night, I could only think with wonderment about and the amazing things he’d done over the last year. A win in each of the three rated formats in Magic over one season went beyond anyone’s dreams a…

Lords of Atlantis: New Blood. PTQ Nashville Report *2nd*

I hoped to carry my hot playing streak forward and to break into the coveted top eight for the first time ever in my playing career. Momentum was my friend.

The Chicken Deck Contest Winner: Some Guys Have All The Cluck

I have submitted what I now call,”Chicken deck of the People.” I have no doubt that Rosewater will pluck this deck from the many selected: “Chicken deck of the People” (“Choking the Chicken” was so much better, but I bowed to commercialism) Creatures 4x Chicken a-la-King 4x 4x 4x 3x 1x 1x Shu Soldier-Farmer 1x…

An Adieu to Rishada

A poem, bidding farewell to the block we know so well.

Y’all Don’t Know Deck

John reveals the secret to his obscurely obscene deck, creates a few theme decks off the cuff, and tells you why he’s glad David Williams is out of the game.

Yawgmoth’s Whimsy #12: PTQ – Madison Report: What To Play…

Adrian Sullivan, sitting next to me, said”Pete, you’ve GOT to lose. This other deck should be in the top eight.” But I was hoping to smash a dream or two.

CASUAL FRIDAYS #101: Multiplayer Basics 101, And Odyssey Applications 201

A fresh look at some old group theory, and what cards may be rising in importance now that Threshold is rearing its ugly head. Yay ferrets!

Is There An I In Team?

I feel like I’m getting better, and I’d attribute that to several things that go together… Mainly, Team Binary.

Multiplayer Is An Art, Part 8: Giant Spider

Stijn finally answers the question all of us are waiting for: Is it possible to create a fun multiplayer format? The answer is yes… But only if it’s TRIBES, which Tom van de Logt and Kamiel Cornelissen play…
