The...: Top 5 Favorite Magic Artists →
lorstarcutter:
These are all really incredible artists! Are you a fan of Svetlin Velinov at all?
I admit that I had to look up the name, but I definitely am a fan. Specifically, I find Thundermaw Hellkite’s art to be as amazing as it would be to cast the thing, Door to Nothingness’s art to be jaw-dropping, and I’m grateful for the new art of Anger as I never was a fan of the...

Top 5 Favorite Magic Artists
During that weird 30 Days of Magic thing (weird being that no one sourced where the idea came from, people were doing different days on the same day, and no one seemed to finish it), one of the questions was your favorite Magic artist. I thought I knew my answer, but I wasn’t sure if that artist ranked as #1 because a) I recognized their name more than the other artists, b) because their art...

The Other Guys: Red Enchantment Removal
I really like underplayed cards. I even like janky cards sometimes. I love running cards people didn’t know about, and when they read them they wonder why they hadn’t heard of them before then. Often these cards are really not as bad as their reputation or low ratings on Gatherer make them seem to be. Worse, though, is when even highly rated cards are still not played all that often,...

turboyak asked: Hey there. I saw you on MaRo's page, and you mentioned that your mentor taught you with a tribal wolf deck, would you mind sharing what it looked like?

Tough question. Actually, I have two, depending on what we’re talking about. I love White/Red because I love the flavor of Boros, with it being the law enforcement of Ravnica and being lead by angels; but Boros is really all about the fast game, so getting out expensive angels seems counter-intuitive to their...

Casual Multiplayer and Threat Assessment
I’ve been meaning to do an article on threat assessment in casual multiplayer ever since I saw someone that only rolled dice to attack, regardless of anything else happening during the game. If you rolling dice for attacking and are not playing Ruhan of the Famori or rolling dice for targeting and are not playing Grip of Chaos, please, please stop. Just because we are playing casually does...

This Old Deck: Zedruu Group Hug
It took me many attempts, but I finally came up with a Group Hug deck I think I would actually enjoy playing. Since it’s Group Hug, it likes giving people things, and giving thanks for fun games. See, I like the idea of completely giving up trying to win and instead trying to help everyone else have fun. Except the ones I’ve seen, and up until now the ones I’ve built, kind of...

Quest for Renewal: Archenemy
If you are reading this, you may be thinking “Archenemy, I know that variant, and it sucks.” Well, if you haven’t actually played it, I suggest you try it before passing judgment. But even if you have play it already, there is more than one way to play archenemy, and I hope after reading this you might try some of the other ways.
It might seem weird writing about Archenemy when...

You might be a Magic scrub if...
#5. You have to be explained why a blatantly ridiculous, banned card is way too powerful for the format (and thus why it’s banned).
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...
