Why and what do we name Magic decks?
If you have ever been to a decently large constructed Magic tournament, where you have to register your deck, you have been asked the question in no uncertain terms. What's in a name? That which we call Jund by any other name would play as sweet. It’s right there. For some this is a trivial question, as someone has told them what to write there, but for others, deck builders, it is a momentous occasion. The line can read more like “If you should attain glory on this fine day, what would be the name of... (more)

Beyond River of Tears
Alex Winston won a recent Lincoln, Nebraska PTQ with my favorite Extended deck, Red-Green Valakut! Red-Green Valakut is not 100% as good, maybe, but it is pretty good in terms of an offensive creature deck. Kitchen Finks and Tarmogoyf + Umezawa's Jitte actually make it a favorable midrange vs. beatdown option against Zoo variants, The Rock, and so on. You can just get some Jitte counters and ride them like it's 2006. Or you can draw a Sakura-Tribe Elder into a Kitchen Finks and basically auto-win against... (more)

In this episode of the Super Sunday Show, I go over the decks you should be playing in Standard and Extended.

Is this an Extended one-hit wonder, or will Charles's deck begin tearing up the PTQ scene? (more)
