One of the most unique features of multiplayer is the forced conservation of resources. You have seven cards and two or three extra opponents – so how many can you afford to throw away before they outrace you? It doesn’t matter how thorough you are; some threats are going to sneak through. The question then…

Scene One ———————————– Our tale begins in the empty sports arena of a typical Dominarian High School. A group of boys sit in the stands around the ‘lead’ boy, whose quif is so large it is supported by large aluminum buttresses and support pillars nailed to his temples. They are clicking their fingers to the…

A few months ago, I compiled my list of what I thought the top ten cards were for Constructed environments, meaning Mercadian block, Standard and Extended. I promised a look back in a few months to see how good my guessing was. Well, guess what, it’s been a few months, so let’s look into Dave’s…

First of all, I wager that in this article, our beloved editor will incorrectly modify what he sees as a grammatical error. If he does (I did – Ye Editor), and you’re the first one to figure it out and email me at [email protected], I’ll send you something nice, like some foreign cards (or whatever…

As I get older and, by default, wiser, I find that there are things that really bother me. If I had a craw (maybe I’ll get one for Christmas!), there is definitely one "thing" that would stick in the aforementioned craw more than anything else. As it is, this "thing" just sits in my head…

In retrospect, it’s hard to understand what came over me. Last week’s column hit a bit of a fanciful tone, and I can only guess that it was brought on by several days’ worth of erratic sleep. Try as I might have, I couldn’t drown out the voices (both inside and outside my head) that…

So, first things first, how did the Type II tourney go? I’ll tell you. Saturday morning rolled around and I sauntered over to the community center. A lot of people were milling around, trying to get the cards for their decks. I’d only really come with my own deck and my trades, so they didn’t…

INVASION I have it on good authority that I am going to love this set. What little I’ve seen from MTGNews.com has certainly piqued my interest. Let’s start by looking at the new (rumored) mechanic, Kicker: Kicker (If you pay the Kicker cost when playing said card, said card gets xxx.) Right now all the…

In case you haven’t heard, Meridian Magic just closed its doors, thanks to a combination of Cathy Nicoloff’s sickness (I assume – last I heard, she was bedridden for three weeks thanks to pneumonia, I think) and, according to her, the slow erosion of the NEED for a Meridian. To paraphrase what she says in…

I had a lovely holiday, thank you for asking. Didn’t miss Magic at all… …not even a little bit… *cough* Moving Swiftly Along ———————————— If, like me, you don’t find tournament reports particularly interesting and, like me also, you’re fed up to the back teeth with Masques-block ‘tech’, then I imagine that life on the…

Greetings once again! For the past week I have been absent from all things Magical. Since I have been returned to my normal schedule of activities, I’ve had only a normal time for reading Magic-related articles. Therefore, catching up has been a bit of a problem. I hope that nothing drastic has happened in my…

PTQ Chicago 8/12 Pittsburgh, PA For the actual tournament report, moonwalk yo’ booty down to where it looks like a tournament report, then return to the top of the page. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. FrigginRizzo: <—Moonwalks on a regular basis. Friday Aug 11. OK, I’m getting sick of red/white. After staring at every red MBC card…
