Unusual Choices and the National Championships
This past week showed the summer of 2011 a couple more National Championships. Their Top 8s featured a combination of established archetypes, new decks, and established archetypes trying new things and new cards. Though Caw-Blade showed up multiple times in each National Championship Top 8, they were as a whole much more diverse than certain other Top 8s (say the US National Championship, with six Caw-Blade decks), and there seemed to be a great variation in the choices made even within the contexts of ...

Implications of the National Championships
We’ve just had a flurry of deck lists released into our hot little hands in the last few weeks, and while most of them feature strategies that will not survive the loss of Shards of Alara and M10, we can certainly begin to derive some ideas about Extended and about the face of the new Standard format.

Star-Spangled Slaughter
It's Presidents Day in the U.S., and we're celebrating with a red-white-and-blue special: Star Spangled Slaughter. Such decks have seen play off and on throughout the game's history (witness All-American Control from Luis Scott-Vargas this Standard season). Splicing together the best blue, red, and white had to offer, Peter Jesuale used this deck in the 2002 U.S. Nationals Standard event. Flametongue Kavu, Lightning Angel, and Meddling Mage are a powerful triumvirate of creatures, with Goblin Trenches br... (more)

German Champ
Sebastian Thaler is a solid pro who recently added the title of National Champion to his resume. He will helm the German National team at the World Championships in Rome this fall. The deck that got him there? Blue-White Merfolk, a popular strategy that has a powerful game against Five-Color Control. Read more about the event from the official event coverage. (more)

The Justice League - British Nationals and Grand Prix: Brighton
British Nationals and Grand Prix: Brighton were, for me, a single event, as I was one of the relatively few judges on staff for four consecutive days. I had a great deal of fun there, and this is my tournament report. It starts on the Wednesday, LCQ day for some, but a rest day for me. The schedulers decided that no-one working both Nationals and the GP should be required to work for all five days. However, that didn't mean that I didn't have work to do. Somehow I had booked my train to Brighton... (more)

Hi everyone! I’m Marco Orsini Jones and, as I’m sure you have all noticed already, this is my first article here on StarCityGames.com. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m afraid introductions will have to wait, as there is an altogether more pressing issue at hand – I am writing today to tell you about the best deck in Standard!
