Wednesday, May 14th – Crying infants in airplane cabins. The Nickelback song “Rock Star.†Single-ply toilet paper. Economic libertarians. Rush-hour horn-honkers. I hate all of those things, but absolutely none of them rile my passions and inflame my innermost ire like the Champion trigger on a Mistbind Clique.
Wednesday, May 14th – Last weekend, Benjamin Peebles-Mundy sleeved up his trusty Reveillark deck and braved the fierce Standard competition on both days of the StarCityGames.com Mega-Magic Weekend. While he didn’t fare well on Day 2, on Day 2 he came agonizingly close to the money. Today’s Peebles Primers sees BPM take us through the tournaments, offering sage advice on the position of Reveillark Combo in the Faeries metagame…
Monday, May 12th – The Star City Games $5000 Open Day 1 Top 8 was filled with Green cards, which would be a good sign if they didn’t miserably fail in the face of even more Faeries.

Owen Turtenwald’s GB Elves are laid bare thanks to the magic of Evan Erwin!
Live from Richmond, it’s the latest tech shown in video form!

What archetypes are expected to take the cash this weekend? What tech is the hottest, what creatures are making the most impact, and how will this all affect Hollywood?
Friday, May 9th – I have spent the past few weeks rambling around the new possibilities with Shadowmoor in Standard, poking around from good idea (Merfolk love Cursecatcher!) to bad idea (Mono-Green 36 creature deck!) as we wandered around the format.
Thursday, May 8th – Dave started playing Magic back when people weren’t afraid to eat their steaks raw, weren’t afraid to travel to exotic countries, and stayed away from namby-pamby combo decks. Okay, it was the nineties, but it was still a simpler time – a time when a guy could go into FNM and play Mono-Green and be feared…
