For Article #100, I decided to write about my 100 favorite Magic cards. It’s self-indulgent — so sue me. I include some multiplayer goodies, some fond reminiscences and — in a couple cases — some near trash for which I have an unreasonable attachment. In those cases, I’ll tell you why they are worth getting

As we start the New Year, what better way to clear the Magical cobwebs from our befuddled brains than getting ourselves the ultimate six-pack? Yes, it’s time to dust off those unopened Lorwyn boosters and get back into the Limited swing of things with this Winston Draft extravaganza, taking you through a head to head showdown from first pick to final turn. Synergy – it’s what you use when you’re naughty. No other jokes inside. Promise.

This week, Patrick takes a break from intensive deck testing to bring us a more theoretical article dealing with the nature of luck. Is luck something we’re reliant on? Are we at the fickle whim of an angry Fate? Or is it largely mythical, a crutch used to bolster the flagging egos of substandard players? The debate, plus some excellent practical tips on improving your luck… all available within!

Thursday, January 1st – Green needs some help in terms of engaging in Magic outside of just summoning great creatures and hoping that they’re enough to get there. This is not to say that I think Green is the worst color in terms of power, because I don’t – there are plenty of great, tournament-caliber Green cards being made in every Magic set.

Tuesday, July 20th – It’s been quite a while since I’ve listed the decks I play, so I thought it might be time (and a few voices in the forums have asked). They’ve morphed a little over the last six months or so, both due to new cards coming out and me liking to play with different things occasionally. While Rise of the Eldrazi hasn’t warped the format as Ken Nagle thought it might, it has certainly provided some material (and I’m sure an Emrakul discussion will ensue).

Regionals was an uncomfortable car ride followed by a big disappointment diced up to lay amidst small flares of occasional fun, the meetings with friends and MODO clan members that were like little pepper granules of merriment amidst the undercooked, salmonella-inducing hamburger patty of defeat. This whole putrid meal was served up with a side order of uncomfortable accommodations and a large Pepsi. No, I didn’t have fun at Regionals, where I saw two weeks of intense study and preparation go down the tubes – but mark my words, I’ll have fun writing about it, or die trying.
