Morningtide is finally here (functionally), so it’s time to break out the hot new Constructed tech! Today’s Innovations does just that: Patrick Chapin brings us a Mono-Black Standard Rogue deck that has great game against the format’s front-runners. And, as it’s mainly comprised of Lorwyn Block goodies, it can port over into Block Constructed too!

Mike Flores describes the deck he and apprentice Julian Levin use to a combined 12-2-2 Swiss record at Southern New England Regionals. This mysterious deck – which plays essentially no Guildpact or Dissension spells – was passed over for States when they finished first and second in New York… but was reappropriated for a tournament with two more sets added . The answers to all your questions and the round-by-round blow-by-blows are contained within!

With all of the attention being paid to TPF drafting, Standard, Block Constructed, and all those other great formats that will soon cease to be relevant, I thought I’d take a look at Prismatic, a format that is never relevant – specifically the changes we can expect from Tenth Edition and the newly spoiled Master’s Edition. Warning: Contains Spoilers.

States is fast approaching, and it’s time to buckle down and choose our decks!. Today’s Flores Friday sees Mike share an U/W Control build with which he hopes to defend his crown at the end of the month. Flyers, board control, and ridiculous card drawing… what’s not to love? Is this deck the next big thing in Standard? Even if we don’t play it, we can’t afford to ignore it… so read on!

Thursday, May 13th – In Magic, there have been a handful of cards that have been printed with activated abilities that can be triggered by opponents. Going all the way back to Arabian Nights with Ifh-Biff Efreet, this has been so. Some of those cards everyone will want to activate, like Squallmonger. Others will only want one person to activate them, like Zerapa Minotaur.

Friday, July 18th – We have been toiling in what seems to be a degenerate Block Constructed format, living in a world where Faeries wins more than half the PTQs, and attendance is beginning to dip as we grow bored of trying to combat The Faerie Menace. Eventide’s impending release fleshes out the world of Block Constructed, completing the card-pool and either giving the hope of unhorsing the big bully of the format once and for all… or killing it.
