Friday, October 2nd – Count me amongst the barbarian hordes who’re deeply disappointed at Lotus Cobra’s mythic rarity. I just traded two of the new fetchlands for one Cobra, and based on initial pricing it’s close to an even trade. That’s just ludicrous. Lotus Cobra is a good card, but it’s on par with one fetchland at the most.

Thursday, March 26th – There is an undeniable aspect of Magic which never gets much press.

Something a little harder to describe. Something that must be shown, not told, to be understood….

Friday, November 13th – Conventional wisdom dictates that your performance in sideboarded games is twice as important as your performance in the pre-sideboard variety. Even so, practicing with your sideboard is often overlooked.

Thursday, July 23rd – With the first week of M10 in Standard, we can already see a pretty radical change. Some pundits felt it would be only a cosmetic change, just a few decks with worse manabases, no more Swans combo and that’s it. I for one had been watching and expecting a more extensive change to Standard, and to see a Standard that looks familiar in some ways and very different in others.
