Thursday, January 8th – Red/White Reveillark, christened “Boat Brew,” has been a strong yet underappreciated Standard option for a few months now. With metagames shifting every week, Adrian Sullivan updates his build to reflect the dynamic nature of the format. Sharing extensive card evaluations and strategic tips, he states his case for, in his opinion, the current Best Deck in Standard.

Flores: Tell me a deck I can write about that your readers will love. Knut: Well Mike, you know how much you love U/G Threshold?

Flores: Okay, but this will be Extended, not some Romeo-style Standard deck. Knut: Even better!

Thursday, April 3rd – Hello all, and welcome to the first of a series of five articles that will explore a hypothetical basic set that I created and balanced with some playtesting. This set is designed to do several things. First of all, it’s a lot of fun to put together, but very labor intensive, so it’s not a project I can do very often. Second, it’s tons of fun to actually read.

Wednesday, June 4th – With Regionals this weekend, and Pro Tour: Hollywood fresh in the books, it’s safe to say that the metagame come Saturday will be heavily influenced by the successful pro decklists from two weeks ago.

Thursday, July 24th – Welcome to the Thursday column dedicated to bringing you topics pertinent to the largest chunk of Magic players out there, the casual world. This is your pilot, cruising with you to a nice altitude in search of new worlds for the column to explore. Today I want to write about a topic that weighs heavy on the hearts of casual players everywhere. I want to talk about land destruction.

For too long the words “Magic Player” have been synonymous with agony and despair when it comes to the dating. Is it your lack of social skills, your unkempt appearance, or your frighteningly bad breath? Do you find talking to women an incomprehensible labyrinth? Well your days of shame are at their long end, my friend. With this easy-to-follow guide that describes women in the terms of Magical cards, you can’t go wrong!

My usual gig is to do a lot of math and come up a few weeks later with an enormous statistical work about the Pro Tour, but it seems my schtick has been outsourced to some very clever computer programmers who can make a metal box filled with trained monkeys do all the Excel manipulations for me instead. Well, not to be completely outdone by this article, I’ve run a few numbers myself to attempt to figure out what the most successful deck was arbitrarily, rather than by sheer win percentage.

…Wrath of God was everywhere, and it had close relatives Pyroclasm and Wildfire running around rampant to boot. It’s…

The Legions pack is a veritable treasure trove for the U/R drafter, and even with several U/W mages at the table, you can still clean up on quality U/R cards. Enemy mages will be grabbing Stingers and Deftblade Elites, and you should happily let them. With Echo Tracer, Willbender, Wall of Deceit, Keeneye Aven, and Mistform Seaswift all ripe for the plucking, you’re the real kid in this cardboard candy store. After a while, the cracking of pack two might start to trigger an almost Pavlovian response.

This is a companion article to the classic article “Who’s The Beatdown?” by Mike Flores. It explores the different ways to play aggressive decks, and the ways to win more while doing so. It was inspired by Mike’s recent comment that there was no more strategy worth writing about for beatdown or burn decks. It is suitable for players and Goblins of all ages, though those with Elvish sympathies may find some scenes distressing.

…Many a horde of Goblins have perished through the Wrath of God or an Engineered Plague. The next stage of…

Thursday, August 27th – If you lose a game of Magic, you made a mistake somewhere. It can be in play, in mulligan decisions, or in deckbuilding. While a lot of people focus on the first two, deckbuilding errors, even minor ones, pile up over time and lead to a lot more game losses than people may realize. By building your deck better, you can give yourself the tools to play better.

…For example, in Legacy a card like Wrath of God is really only good in certain matchups and fairly dead…

Tuesday, November 9th – As I’m likely not going to play in any big Standard tournaments, I’m in the interesting position of not trying to find a deck for me, but I can instead treat the format like a huge puzzle I’m supposed to solve.

Saviors is here, and it brings a lot of potential to redefine the metagame. The set contains some cards that could force some changes. It’s too soon to know how strong their impact will be – we won’t actually know that until after Regionals, but it’s not too early to speculate. It’s also worth considering whether some old cards might be reinvigorated by the changes.
