My Thoughts on WotC
I recently reblogged the same user twice in order to dispute his or her claims that Wizards of the Coast’s Deckbuilder’s Toolkit product was an example of the company trying to put one over on newer players. While that user’s statements were so incorrect as to have me dumbfounded (and acting like this) I won’t restate my objections here; if you’re wondering what that...

Showtime Shultz: I would like to amend my... →
showtimeshultz:
If you get your jollies by making awful decks that are in no way competitive and don’t mind paying money for commons and uncommons that players like myself either give away for nothing, leave lying on a table at the store when opening packs or are sold to stores in bulk of 1000 cards for 20 bucks…
FNM isn’t really casual, dude. It’s a tournament, even if...

showtimeshultz:
If you’re looking to make a decent deck you can actually do well in a tournament buy an event deck and add onto it with other good cards. It bugs me…
This post is so ignorant, and I’m disappointed that people have read it at face value and don’t understand this. The toolkits were make for newer players with no cards to get a decent collection. That’s...

Off-Topic: Personal & Blog Update
Happy Memorial Day everyone!
I never used to really like Memorial Day, but it means a lot more to me since one of my best friends joined the Army. I can tell you, that was a fantastic choice for him as he’s made a decent amount of money while learning a lot and doing a lot of good as a Chaplain’s Assistant. So I hope every follower of mine who lives in the United States and/or is a...

Experiment Kraj
Ruhan of the Fomori
Progenitus
Rafiq of the Many
Kaervek the Merciless
I figured that since deckbuilding is always my favorite thing to do when…
Yeah for more EDH decks! I would love to see decklists and an insight into your...

Friday Flashback... Build-a-Card: 4-Color Legends
Last fall I had to give up writing for this blog regularly. When the summer came to a close and my duties as a graduate student became greater with the new school year, I simply didn’t have the time to write as often as I had gotten myself into. I continue to post to the blog occasionally, and these posts have gained me even more followers than previously. As much as followers have the ability to...

Crazy Stupid Combo: Unearthing Fun
At heart I’m a Timmy. But I have a lot of Johnny tendencies as well. I just tend to like janky combos rather than the more powerful ones Spike leans towards. Here I would like to share some combos you may or may not be aware of. Feel free to suggest more fun and powerful combinations these cards work well in. Johnnies unite!
This time around, let’s combine…
and…

Reblog if you're an MTG blog.
introverted-planeswalker:
I need more Multiverse on my dash.
I try to keep this blog as Magic-oriented as possible, although I slip sometimes. I write about a ton of different stuff: the flavor of Magic, from specific cards to zones and interactions (Embracing Vorthos posts); variant formats (Quest for Renewal posts); the color pie (Easy as Pie posts); rules issues (Knowing is Half the Battle...

If You Build It, They Will Die – The Mimeoplasm by... →
addictedtoedh:
There are some cool card ideas in here for a The Mimeoplasm deck. I’m totally adding Fertilid to mine.
Reblogged because A) I love unique decknames that actually have something to do with the deck and B) I love The Mimeoplasm.

Tumblr Designs a Card!
mtgfan:
I’ve seen it over at MtGSalvation, so I thought I’d bring it here in a handy Google Docs format! Just complete the short survey - five questions, two of which are technically optional! I’ll run this for a week before we move to the next stage!
Please reblog when you finish to spread the word!

You Might Be a Magic Scrub If...
4. You’ve ever gotten seriously blown out because you overextended yourself when you should have known not to.
Before I go on, let me clarify what I mean by a Magic scrub. Magic: The Gathering is a hard game, no doubt about that. Mistakes will be made, even by the best of players. Some of these mistakes are bound to even be ones we know we shouldn’t have made. If you read this and say “Yeah, I’ve...
