Sovereigns of Lost Alara Update

Sovereigns of Lost Alara Update
Overall I was enchanted my the success of such a no-frills deck. I had been mesmerized by all these Fauna Shamans and Squadron Hawk engines and only one copy of Eldrazi Conscription, loading up on Primeval Titans, and so on. But Utter-Leyton's deck bucked recent trends, uncompromising in its refusal to, you know, compromise. Great deck, and worthy of the very deserving champion. (more)

One Man’s Ballot, again
So I got my 2010 Magic Pro Tour Selection Committee Hall of Fame ballot today. In case you guys haven’t been reading for that long, the first ever post on this blog was my 2008 Hall of Fame ballot; way back on October 6, 2008. You can check that action out here (and by “here” I [...] (more)

How is War Priest of Thune Real?

How is War Priest of Thune Real?
I mean, it almost goes without saying. War Priest of Thune I am trying to figure this out. Looks like Magic 2011 is going to be a set where tournament staples of times past are just going to be strictly outmoded by the M11 versions. If you don’t have a lot of context, War Priest of Thune might just [...] (more)

The Pros and Cons of Ember Hauler
One of the exciting new M11 cards that seems to be a “goes straight in” for Red Decks is Ember Hauler: Ember Hauler Ember Hauler is efficient. He is a 2/2 for two mana, and unlike previously “good enough” Red two drops like Ironclaw Orcs or Goblin Raider (I actually remember having a conversation with Randy Buehler [...] (more)

The World’s Best Eldrazi Monument
Today Matt Sperling said to me that most Eldrazi Monument decks are basically precon decks… Until they play the Monument. Then they bash Bash BASH you, of course. Eldrazi Monument being the frightening motherlover that it is. Now even though a number of different decks can play Eldrazi Monument — Jund, Vampires, and so on — we most [...] (more)

A Different Look at Wall of Omens
Wall of Omens… goes into every U/W deck After I wrote this week’s Top Decks (forthcoming in a day or so, obviously), I was inspired by Daniel Gardner’s U/W deck. His deck hybridized a U/W strategy with Eldrazi Temple and a bunch of gigantic Eldrazi Cthulhus. I threw this together and battled about with it tonight, maybe [...] (more)

How to Dismantle a Mind Sludge
I am just going to c/p the description I put on YouTube (’cause mise): Mind Sludge - It has been called the only reason to play Counterspells in the current Standard environment (there are actually two reasons… the other one is in our deck).

In the quite likely event that you read Top Decks last week, you know that I listed not just Flame Slash but Forked Bolt in the "awesome" at one mana category. This post is going to be a follow up to the Flame Slash post as well as a brief discussion of its one mana twin / competitor / equal and opposite. (more)

Did I Mention Flame Slash = Awesome?
One of my favorite new Rise of the Eldrazi cards is Flame Slash. Here’s why… Flame Slash I don’t think Flame Slash has gotten nearly the respect it deserves. Is it Lightning Bolt? No. Is it as good a card as Lightning Bolt? Not really. Flame Slash is a sorcery rather than an instant. That means you can play [...] (more)
