The Daily Shot: I Can’t Play Type One, Part II

Good Karma And Secret Type I Tech
I’ve seen more than enough Moxes, Lotuses, Time Walks, and Ancestral Recalls to probably pay my mortgage for about a year. I don’t own a single one. I also happened to place in the top 8 twice and top 4 most recently in the only three Type I tournaments I have ever played with my deck.
You CAN Play Type I #48: The Initial Judgment, Part III – Instants And Land

You CAN Play Type I #45: Deconstructing Mark Rosewater

You CAN Play Type I #43: The Initial Judgment, Part I – Creatures
Going into Judgment, again, since creatures are there mainly to tap and deal damage, we’re going to be looking mainly at Rule #1. Since new creatures have to compete against everything printed since 1994, you understand it’s an uphill fight – something like 85 degrees up.
You CAN Play Type I #41 (Unless You’re Geordie Tait): Stop Hyping The Wishes!
Don’t believe the hype! Everyone and his mom are telling you how Judgment’s Wishes will break Type One in – but if you look closely, you’ll see that what you have to give up might not be worth the wish…
8 in 10: You CAN’T Write Infinite Articles On Type 1
We didn’t think he could do it… And by God, he couldn’t, only managing to produce a paltry eight daily articles before collapsing in a heap of body fluids. Still, he manages to pound out a tourney report that lovingly takes Oscar Tan and bends him over his knee.
You CAN Play Type I #40: The Control Player’s Bible, Part XX – Head To Head With Zoo

Four games against Stompy are highlighted, and Oscar stomps the heck out of ’em with Pure Control. Hey, one game is even close!
You CAN Play Type I #38: The Control Player’s Bible Part XIX – Head To Head With Stacker 2
Turn 1: Mountain, Mox Pearl, Mox Sapphire, Grim Monolith, Su-Chi. How does the Deck come back from a blazing start like that… Or can it?
You CAN Play Type I #37: The Control Player’s Bible, Part XVII: Head To Head With Sligh
You asked for it, you got it! Hot on the heels of Oscar’s control on control matchup, the Tanster fights everyone’s favorite cheap win generator… Innnn-troducing… In the left-hand corner… SLIGH!

You CAN Play Type I #35: The Control Player’s Bible Part XVI – Why Control Sucks
Good Lord – after sixteen articles on The Deck and how to play it and what the sideboard is and the mana base and yadda yadda, NOW he tells us it sucks? Hey, thanks, pal.
You CAN Play Type I #34: The Control Player’s Bible, Part XV – The Budget 5-Color Mana Base
How do you swap out your duals and Moxen for other, cheaper cards? Well, you don’t. Not really. But Oscar takes kind of a stab at it.
