Thursday, February 24 – John Beety was a SCG Talent Search contestant, now columnist, who writes about the sides of Magic no one really talks about – after scouring 8000+ cards, he’s ready to present his research on real-world flavor texts.

Tim has his States deck figured out already. Sadly, it’s not White Weenie. This article, however, concentrates on the ever-popular beatdown archetype. Where do the Time Spiral cards slot in? Is Knight of the Holy Nimbus a sufficiently fake Hand? What can we do about the loss of Isamaru? And does Griffin Guide warrant a slot in the deck? (Hint: there’s a reason its initials are GG…) Looking to run with the little White guys? Then this is the article for you!

Friday, August 21st – With the PTQ season drawing towards a close, I want to take a look at what Standard looks like in the absence of Lorwyn Block, so that we can begin to prepare for the arrival of Zendikar with whatever wackiness it contains.

Always wanted to write something like that: Definitive. Anyway, I think it probably shows something that I’m the guy that knows this deck. What that is, I’m not sure.
