The Mental Game
I'd like to talk this week about one of the most important and most neglected subjects in improving your game. Most writers talk about how to make the right attacks, how to build the best deck, how to draft, what hands to mulligan, and so on. These are all very important skills to develop, but I consider mental game to be one of the most fundamental... (more)

Extended Overview
As promised in my last article, today I'm going to take a look at M11 and how it changed the new Extended. We’re still at the very beginnings of the format, but some of the new strategies have definitely bigger ambitions than to just be a fossil that will be laughed at in a couple of years. (more)

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.

Izzet Nationals Time Already?
With US Nationals only days away it seems that every man and his dog is writing articles on how to build Standard decks, how to break the Standard format, how to optimize current Standard builds and how to draft Fireball and Grave Titan, so I thought I’d go for something a little different and talk about a growing online format: Pauper.
