First off I need to ask you if you’ve seen the latest issue of Scrye, the one with the Dark Pokemon energy symbol on it. Have you read Omeed’s article on Type 2? In it, he mentions control green and ways the deck gets around . He talks about the obvious, dull and uncreative choice…

So I’m playing booster draft at a tourney, and I’ve got all this green fat and red beatdown out there, and I’m thinking to myself as I watch my and slowly fade away, "damn! I wish there were a mechanic in Magic that let me retrieve these low-cost, high-action creatures from the graveyard!" It is…

I promise you an article that will scrutinize the card in and out, forward and backward, side to side. And, I will tell you that it is NOT broken; that it is a fair and fun card. Also, I will give you a decklist using this card that wins against 70% of the metagame 90%…

Philadelphia’s a great city, full of Philadelphians (or is it Philapinos?). I had a blast at the Grand Prix, though I spent a good bit of time away from it. called me up a while back, asking if I wanted a free trip to the GP– which I could not refuse, of course. I think…

I wanted to give a quick thanks to all of you for the feedback I’ve gotten in response to my”Disney-freaking-World?!?” column the other week. Whether you came down on my side of the argument or in support of National’s home this year, it’s good to let Wizards know we care about the venue for this…

Wow. Lin-Sivvi, Defiant Hero is good. The more I look at that card, the more impressed I am at the subtlety of its design, inherent power and three toughness. It’s perfect. She’d totally win the Miss America talent contest. She’s all over the place. Her rebel search ability is smarter than your a-ver-age bear’s. In…

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. I know I said that these would be weekly, and I know this means that the third chapter won’t be out until after GP Philly. I can tell you all the reasons it didn’t come out on time, instead I will get right to the article. Last time I discussed…

I think I’ve given up wholesale this week. Consequently, you, dear reader, are given a choice. Either a) It is only the fiery dedication that the OMC feels to his grateful readers that keeps him strapped to his word-mill, tirelessly pounding out whatever it is that he pounds out. Or b) The OMC has finally…

I don’t know about you, but I get really focused on Type 2 when a new set comes out. I start to look over the spoiler and excitedly scribble deck ideas into my Deck Book. At the same time, there is a dawning realization that my untested Type 2 decks are about to become obsolete….

For the first time, I have received hate mail! Though most of it was perhaps not the most flattering writing I’ve had the pleasure to read, it was all informative (when you got past all the shouting). In case you missed it, I wrote an earlier article on this site about how Type II was…

So FINALLY Star City resurrects itself on my computer, and the first thing I ‘m greeted to is a nice new article from , arguably my favorite writer on this site after myself. I like to read Bennie because I think we have a lot in common – wife, house, enjoy playing Green, neither of…

Not sure where to begin this week. Playtesting for GP Philly is NOT going as expected. I’m playing that same Russian roulette I played getting ready for States. It’s absolutely insane. As soon as I’m settled on one deck, I go through and read the PTQ reports from over the weekend, and I totally change…

My first-ever Extended tournament has come and gone. Overall, I found Extended to be one of the most stressful environments I’ve experienced in Magic. Opponents can on turn two. They can Oath their entire library into the graveyard and cast a mammoth . They can attack with two Pups, you, you, double for eighteen points…
