So as the name suggests this is a variation on Garrett's RRS build. If you haven't seen that list yet scroll down the page and check it out . Seriously, I'll wait ............. whistles twiddles thumbs day dreams blahblahblahblah....Oh you're back. So I assume that you get that the idea is to get a bunch (yes that is the technical term) of mana (primarily from Archie) and win by huge Banefire or some other such burn spell. Yes. Well. This deck does that only with the added bonus of ser... (more)

East Coast Magic: That Number One Spot - 7/24/2009

Hello, and welcome to the first piece in a weekly series I'm calling “The Number One Spot” each week, I'll discuss a different card that runs with a converted mana cost of one. Why am I doing this? What's so special about little one drops? Why not talk about the cards that are currently massive bombs in standard. Well, at the end of the day you may win with those massive bombs, but it all comes down to the cards you play in your first few turns (primarily turn one) that let you drop those massive win car...

Some of the art in Magic 2010 is new, and some is classic art from the previous printings of cards. But how well can you identify the cards based on elements in the background of the art? Let's find out!After you guess, click the images above to see the full... (more)

Hello and welcome to another edition of Building on a Budget. For the last two weeks I've tried to help you find the best way to warp the world. This week is Favorite Flavor Week here on magicthegathering.com. I've always been a huge fan of the tribal mechanic. Long before Lorwyn was a whisper I had been playing Elves, Goblins, Slivers, and Merfolk on kitchen tables with my friends. I always loved the concept of tribal mechanics and thought they had excellent flavor. Elves work well with other Elves and ... (more)

Nature's Golden Spiral

featured 228 days, 21 hours, 27 minutes ago posted by SummonerSummoner 229 days, 21 hours, 21 minutes ago
Friday, July 24, 2009 12:15:08 PM GMT Thursday, July 23, 2009 12:20:39 PM GMT
Here's the art description for Nature's Spiral. Action: This is a symbolic representation of rebirth: Amid a patch of ferns, we see an extreme closeup of a trio of fern "fiddleheads," the curled-up fronds of a young fern. But these fiddleheads have taken on curled-up creature shapes -- a snake, a nautilus, and a human embryo. Focus: the fiddleheads Mood: Symbolic of renewed life of all kinds Now, before we look at the art, are you familiar with the Golden Sp... (more)

Welcome to an extra flavorful dosage of magical laboratory wackiness! Why the added zest? Simple: It's Favorite Flavor Week, a week that is dedicated to the personal Vorthos taste buds of each columnist here on magicthegathering.com. For those who may be confused about a potential omission of the last results of the Birthday Contest, have no fear. As I mentioned last week, I'm taking this week to indulge my goober (which may or... (more)

Today we're going to talk about a deck that's been absolutely destroying the competitive magic scene lately, and then I'm going to talk about it's post M10 changes and things that you should think about when playing it and playing against it. First let's look at the pre-M10 list Creatures 4 Cloudgoat Ranger 3 Dauntless Escort 4 Kitchen Finks 4 Noble Hierarch 4 Steward of Valeron 4 Wilt-Leaf Liege Other Spells 3 Path to Exile 3 Overrun 4 Spe...

A Difference You Can Taste

Many years ago, I had a conversation with my friend Chris in which each of us described exactly what it looked like when we summoned something in a game of Magic. After all, when you're exerting your will to pull something to yourself across an unfathomable distance, there must be some pretty powerful magic at work—and if movies have taught me anything about magic, it's that serious spells are always acc...

Understanding Your Table : Daily MTG : Magic: The Gathering

Your relationship with your neighbors in a Magic 2010 draft is very different from your relationship with your neighbors in a Shards / Conflux / Reborn draft. In a Shards block draft, you generally care about what shards people are drafting, not what individual colors they are in. So even if you think that Esper and Grixis cards are being sucked up by the players to your right, that doesn't mean th... (more)

Looking for a fast way to get into the world of Elder Dragon Highlander? Look no further than this list! This unusual Ashling the Pilgrim deck features Ashling (its general) along with 99 Mountains. The goal? Play Ashling on the second turn, then go to town pumping her each turn and attacking whichever hapless opponent has it coming. If things get out of control? Simply activate her ability three times in a turn and blow up the world! The Ashling deck is a cinch to build, a blast to play, and super easy ... (more)

Today we're going to discuss deck building, namely the requirements of fail-safe measures and alternative win conditions, for those times when you may just be getting screwed out of your main strategy. Let's start by looking back for a second at last week's RRS deck list. After some rigorous testing and modification I have finalized the list as follows... (more)

Or maybe more than 2 a week? Now that's crazy! Hey kids, like playing decks that make the game last painfully long or have tiny control oriented win conditions? Yeah, me neither. This being said, and me being the constant aggro player that I am, I designed Speedball, a red and green type 2 deck that utilizes the cascade mechanic as well as redundant loads of creatures with haste. Even with the impending death of control (post wrath) and the flourishing of other aggro decks, you'll almost always fi... (more)
