First Pass on Champion of the Parish
At least before we have a lot of tangible tournament results, I am thinking there are two main interesting cards to think about for Standard with Avacyn Restored: Delver of Secrets (surprise surprise), and Cavern of Souls Specifically, Cavern of Souls gives you another dual land to play first turn Delver of Secrets (and through [...] (more)

By now you have probably seen Restoration Angel. If not, I will remind you by pasting it here: Restoration Angel My friends Hall of Famer Brian Kibler and future Hall of Famer Patrick Chapin had some interesting things to say about Restoration Angel last week.

Hey everybody! Sorry if I am a bit late to the game on this topic but I was busy all weekend doing this: … So I hope y’all liked the ceiling-shattering commentary at SCGLive; so, point being, “I was busy.” The card in question is Cavern of Souls: Cavern of Souls But what is interesting-interesting [...] (more)

What Exactly is so “Desolate” About Desolate Lighthouse?
One definition of “desolate” is “solitary or lonely” … and I really don’t see that with Desolate Lighthouse. In fact, I think this new land from Avacyn Restored is going to get along well with others. Desolate Lighthouse  Getting extra utility out of your lands is a long-standing opportunity for freebie value in deck design. [...] (more)

Unbelievably, this is the second Five With Flores post devoted to Aether Adept. … I can’t believe it either!  Jon Medina invented this thing called FNM Hero where he has to start from scratch with a budget of only $100.

Drafto with Bella
At age seven, my daughter Bella (“future girl Iron-Man”) is already a strategic genius. I know most parents generally overrate their children, but I came to this conclusion today after being lectured as to why she whooped me in chess (as a seven-year-old she pronounced her opening “The Italy-an Game” and criticized my early game [...] (more)

Inquisition of Kozilek So on the way back from the Star City Games Invitational in Baltimore, MD last week, I had an interesting conversation* with Top 8 competitor Joshua Ravitz.

Five Reasons Batterskull > Wurmcoil Engine

One of the things I wanted to discuss was Sondag’s 3/3 split on Primeval Titan and Wurmcoil Engine. Overall I said that I wanted to play (at the very least) the fourth [...] (more)
