So Long, It’s Been Fun. Well, For Some Of Us At Least.
Yesterday, WotC announced the banning of Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Stoneforge Mystic. The bannings have long been anticipated, especially with the recent dominance of CawBlade. We now take a look at what this Bonnie and Clyde duo has meant to the format and what their disappearance will mean going forward. (more)

Actuality and Potentiality
When playing Magic, experience and instinctual knowledge tells us what to do, most of the time. It is easy to know that we shouldn't get hit by a Sword, if we can help it, or to kill a Jace when the opportunity arises, but something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately is why? (more)

Dust Off Your Vengevines: A PTQ Report

Dust Off Your Vengevines: A PTQ Report
It’s no secret that Standard isn’t super exciting right now, at least in terms of diversity of top-tier decks. It remains that if you want to have a good chance to win that you’re either playing Stoneforge Mystic or you’re attacking with arbitrarily large numbers of 1/4 creatures. So what is one to do if you don’t want to play multiple 65-75 card mirrors all day? (more)

Finesse, Not Force
With a tide of Legacy metagame information becoming available recently after GP Providence, and the almost weekly Legacy Open events, it is quite easy to track metagame changes and deck building choices from week to week. One of the most important debates to spring up in the wake of this information is the argument over the inclusion of Force of Will in Blue Control decks… (more)

I've had the chance to get a few New Phyrexia drafts under my belt. I'm still getting the feel of the new format and a few cards have changed in my evaluation since I started drafting the set. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but I wanted to share my over/under on the format. (more)
