I <3 Emrakul

A lot of players seem sort of down on the latest incarnation of Emrakul. Sam Black isn’t convinced they’re correct. Read about Sam’s ideas for building around the mother of all alien destruction!

My #SCGDFW Decks!

There’s an archetype that’s pretty much way ahead of everything else in Modern: It’s called whatever you want. Todd Stevens relishes this new era of Modern diversity, and he’s talking his favorite #SCGDFW archetypes here!

Daily Digest: Esp-Zur

Zur the Enchanter is one of Magic’s most charming weirdos. He appears now and again, makes a mess of a tournament or two, then vanishes. Ross Merriam wants to know if he’s here to stay at #SCGDFW!

Running The Gauntlet

Jennifer Long has come up with a great playtesting method: try new decks! Mrs. Mulligan teaches you how to know your enemy in her latest work ahead of #SCGDFW!

Daily Digest: Break Out Your Dice

Someone at WotC has invested heavily in the dice industry. How else can you explain the sheer magnitude of six-siders you’ll need to make this #SCGDFW contender happen?

The Boss VS. Todd: Abzan Aristocrats VS. Mardu Midrange

As Meat Loaf sang, “Two out of three ain’t bad.” But where Tom “The Boss” Ross goes green, Todd Anderson is bringing the red! Who will win this clash of wedges ahead of #SCGDFW?

Daily Digest: Walking The Planes

Well, this is a sweet one. Plenty of colors. Plenty of loyalty counters. Plenty of wins. It’s hard to imagine having a bad time at the #SCGORL Classic this weekend if you have this build in your pocket!

Fact Or Fiction: The Green, The White, And The Ugly

It’s that time again! Two of the brightest minds in the Magic business are ready to debate the biggest questions surrounding #SCGORL! Will G/W Tokens be unstoppable? Is Merfolk a real Modern deck? Does Brad look better with a beard than Tom does without?

Hate

Some of us play to win. Some of us play for fun. But there are a few of us who love this game in a very hateful way. Pack your deck with hate this weekend at #SCGORL!

Daily Digest: Like A Rhinostone Cowboy

What’s that? You thought a Standard rotation would keep this thing out of your life forever? That’s adorable. Unfortunately for you, #SCGORL’s Modern Classic just might find itself under Siege!

Fact Or Fiction: The Green, The White, And The Ugly

Standard and Modern are in crazy places at the moment, and #SCGORL has a lot of unanswered questions! Which of these two competitive Magic stars knows more about what’s coming this weekend? Ready…set…debate!

Boom! Nahiri, The Harbinger Is Busted!

Shaun McLaren is on the Modern warpath! Your lands are no longer safe! What’s the only thing worse than an opponent dominating you with Nahiri at #SCGORL? How about not having a single land to help you while it’s happening? Shaun! Have mercy on us!

Daily Digest: Gerry + Majors = Marc

How much longer until someone takes the recent unbans in Modern and really puts together a dominant deck? This may be the beginning of the next big archetype, and #SCGORL’s Modern Classic may feature this excellent build in spades!

Video: Kiki Control In Modern

The great Shaun McLaren wants to control games, make infinite Angels, and if there’s still time, win the game. Can he do it? Probably. But let’s find out for sure by watching the videos!

Daily Digest: The Control Freak

Shadows over Innistrad has already made a pretty steady impact on Modern, but there’s a holdover from Zendikar that wants to leave a lasting impression on the format as well! See the latest creation of one of the great Magic Online deckbuilders here!
