A Special Friday Flashback: Easy as Pie - Azorious...
The following article was posted on April 28th, 2011. It’s not one of my best, which is why it wasn’t featured in my previous Friday Flashback series, but it’s really relevant given that there’s a new “Which Guild are You” quiz. I took this one and, sure enough, I’m still Azorious. Then when looking through my articles I came across this post for the first...

This Old Deck: Riku and Friends
I’d like to do something a little different this time when it comes to looking at decks. Earlier this summer, Commandercast talked about the different types of commander-deck-relationships; basically there’s, in a Likert-type scale of descending order of commander importance, 1. “the deck needs the commander to do anything,” 2. “there is huge synergy between my...

This time around, let’s combine…
Vigor is just a fun...

Quest for Renewal: Star

Build-a-Card: Red in Multiplayer
Each of the colors, and even colorless, in Magic have their own strengths, weaknesses, tribes, and other perks to choose them over another color. Unfortunately, sometimes a color just isn’t that powerful, or is too powerful. Blue and White are often considered too powerful, Green for a while was considered weak in non-multiplayer formats (although there are still some people out there that...

You Might Be a Magic Scrub If...
#6. You’ve ever completely misunderstood a card that was quite clear.
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 done that once or twice,” then...
