He claims he’s like the Energizer Bunny of Magic writing – pink, obnoxious, and sporting no obvious genitalia. Now me, I’m just curious to see how long he can keep pushing out these”article-a-day” essays before he cracks.
Following the events of the last few weeks (and the fantastic amount of column space dedicated to the departure of one of our communities shining stars), I have decided not to give up Magic – both as a player and as a writer.
I have to warn you, though, my tournament report is long – almost definitely long-winded. But this deck is quite complex to play and describing the interactions with discarding and paying madness requires a lot of extra words in each sentence.
I have a Masters in Public Administration, and I have worked in this field doing both confrontations and adjudications for six years now. .. And the largest misunderstanding from those who criticize the DCI is the assumption that the DCI should follow criminal law.
In real life, very good lawyers witnesses who bear allegational testimonies to pieces. It’s facts and tight reasoning that drive decisions. That, and solid arguments. Hey, I testify for a living. I know.
Your cards will NOT balance out, despite what the law of averages might say. Lady Luck owes you nothing, and if pressed, she will pay you nothing. Some good advice in general… And it also includes, for the first time, the GEORDIE TAIT BUILD YOUR OWN REVIEW!
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?
