Commander Mondays: Rally the Allies in an Alley
Next to Slivers, Allies has got to be one of the most popular casual tribal decks, especially in Commander. The issue was, until the release of Oath of the Gatewatch there was no proper Ally commander, so many people just used . Now we have and boy is she a load of fun. Tazri gave two highly wanted things in one: a legendary five-colour (technically) Ally and an Ally tutor. Allies in EDH Unlike...

Bad Brews: Lumbering Falls
Hello and welcome to Bad Brews, the game where we make playable decks out of unplayable rares. Like every week we are going to crack open one booster pack and try to make a deck based off the cards inside. Like every week we are going to hope for the best, but expect the worst. This week we got our hands on a pack of Battle for Zendikar, the much hyped return to the plane of the Eldrazi menace....

Going Rogue: Temur Ascendancy Combosmash
Hello and welcome back to Going Rogue, where winning isn't the goal but it often happens anyway! This week's rogue feature isn't a creation of mine, and in fact... I hate everything about it. It's incredibly linear, mindless, and revolves around a single card to be any good at all. It folds like a cheap suit to or . But sometimes - just sometimes - it smashes faster and harder than just about any...

Hey guys, welcome to the first instalment of Budget Brews where I'm going to be tackling different archetypes in various formats, making them more accessible and cheaper.

So this week we're going to look at an archetype from Legacy which you...

Commander Mondays: Silver Sliver Shivers
Last week I promised to either write an article about Slivers, or about Allies. In celebration of the announcement of Eternal Masters I decided to write this week's article about the older and more enduring of the two. Although tribal support has been around as early as Alpha, with cards such as and , Slivers were the first creature type to be truly fleshed out by being given creatures of every...

The latest in the Magic: The Gathering...

Going Rogue: Modern 5-Colour Human Reanimator
Hello and welcome back to Going Rogue, where winning isn't the goal but it often happens anyway! We've taken a bit of a break from the sillies lately, focusing on the best card for this, the worst cards for that, or brewing meta-answer to big, bad Eldrazi. If you've been coming here for your weekly dose of eye rolling, and found yourself disappointed with halfway decent suggestions of how to play...
