When I first saw Okaun I knew there would be some weirdness in being able to move in for the kill with him, in particular with splashy one-hit kills. This isn't normal for Magic as chance doesn't usually determine life or death, so knowing the odds can really help influence our deck building decisions and […]

Commander Showdown — Jhoira vs Jhoira
April 18, 2018 by
Joseph Schultz 
Back to the Future, Forward to the Past Our trip through the Dominaria preview season has been topsy-turvy, wibbly-wobbly, and of course, timey-wimey. From Muldrotha, the Gravetide to Firesong and Sunspeaker, this legendary plane has more legendary creatures than we’ve seen in a long time. Still, one of them stands out from all the rest, […]

Bringing Magic to Life — Suspending Annihilation

Kya Vess 
Hiya Planeswalkers! Kya here, enjoying the New Year so far and hoping everyone else is too! This last pre-release of Rivals of Ixalan was a great way to start out another year of slinging cardboard! I hope those who participated in the pre-release had great pulls as well! Today we're going to continue with our […]

Burning Inquiry — Taking a Break from Magic
August 8, 2017 by
Eric Walter 
We've all been there. At some point this game which once inspired such lustful joy becomes a frustrating grind. Somewhere between the reserved list and the banned list, netdecking and token promos, boundless infinite combos and constricting real-life circumstances; it is here that players must reconsider the spaces for Magic: The Gathering in their lives. […]

Burning Inquiry — The Cult of Ludevic and Sidar Kondo
July 11, 2017 by
Eric Walter
I was involved in a cult once. Usually quite a calculated and reasonable man, one day I learned it was the will of Zedruu that I must submit to. Of course things began harmlessly enough: It is the will of Zedruu that you have... this Pentad Prism. It is no longer burdened by counters. Enjoy. I will be […]

Ultra Budget Brews — Tibor and Lumia

Andrew Cummings 
Welcome back to Ultra Budget Brews, the article series that builds EDH decks where every card costs less than $1. Up to this point, the decks I brewed for this column are ones that I personally owned and played. Writing about these decks was fairly easy, because I had a decent amount of real world […]

Commander Showdown — The Locust God vs Niv-Mizzet
July 5, 2017 by
Joseph Schultz
A Plague of Locusts Upon Your House Hour of Devastation is almost upon us, and there are some awesome preview cards on the horizon. We've seen Theros gods and Amonkhet gods before, but we've never seen plague gods. Scorpions and scarabs are terrifying, but the one that frightens me most is The Locust God. This giant insect will […]

Partner Focus — Kraum, Ludevic's Opus
June 20, 2017 by
Nate Burgess 
Just for fun, try going into an IKEA, buying a few things at random, then dumping all the parts in one pile and throwing away the instructions. See what you come up with, Ludevic-style. Kraum. Two heads. Three arms. Ten eyes? When it comes to body parts: waste not, want not. For starters, Kraum, Ludevic's Opus is […]

EDH Benchwarmers — Niv Mizzet, the Firemind
June 2, 2017 by
Andy Hull 
Oooooh, the Firemind. What, am I supposed to be afraid of this guy? Niv-Mizzet is a massive dweeb and we all know it. He may look like a super rad dragon with wicked cool frill-things around his head and very intimidating wings and everything, but NM is really just a super nerd, and not even […]
