Developing Dredge in Modern
I've never been a good brewer but when was spoiled, I knew there were immediate applications to Dredge deck in Modern. Seeing spoiled was icing on the cake. I partnered with local brewer/jank player Patrick Lalonde to test and refine the deck with the hopes of having something serviceable ready for the Shadows Over Innistrad release. Since then, we've had reasonable success in our...

Going Rogue: Jeskai Fever
Hello and welcome back to Going Rogue, where winning isn't the goal but it often happens anyway. Today we're taking a break from the norm and diverting our attention to a sphere I rarely indulge in: Standard! Now, those who know me know that I haven't played a face-to-face game of Standard since I was jamming , , and together. So why would I want to craft ideas around a Standard deck? Because...

Budget Brews: Soul Sisters
Welcome to this weeks Budget Brews! This week we take a look back at my favourite format to brew in, Modern! The strategy we're looking at this week is an oldie but it's most definitely a goodie, it was even featured this past weekend during the SCG Invitational, the deck was perfectly tuned and tried a little different method in the same archetype we're going for. The look on the player's Zoo...

Screw Loose Brews: Nahiri's Revenge
They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but whoever said that clearly wasn't a Red player. Red players know that revenge is actually a dish best served on fire, with a side of fire and more fire. More fire will be served for desert, topped with lightning and seared flesh. Please deliver your compliments directly to the chef, . Nahiri is out for blood, which should come as no surprise given...

Going Rogue: "96-Card" Grixis Control
Hello and welcome back to Going Rogue, where winning isn't the goal but it often happens anyway. If Modern wasn't shaken up enough in January when got the axe and the format was taken over by Eldrazi, we've now been thrown for a new loop with the recent unbanning of control bombshells s and . These cards have the potential for enormous impact, so much so that despite playing a lot of Modern, I...
