Daily Dose of Eldritch Moon – Get out the Garlic!
Welcome to a big preview week on the Daily Dose where there have been some major revelations this week that are going to lead to an amazing set coming up. With Eldritch Moon being the second set in the Shadows Over Innistrad block, I like to look for synergy between cards within a block so that I can start to find added value in existing cards. There were a lot of Madness enablers in Shadows Over...

Going Rogue: "Oh, Canada!" Superfriends Control
Hello and welcome back to another edition of Going Rogue, where winning isn't the goal but it often happens anyway. Although I promised you a blue-green combo deck last week, in honour of the Canada Day weekend ahead, I thought I'd highlight something a little more patriotic with an updated approach to red-white control that should have Planeswalker fans jumping for joy (This also may have...

Daily Dose of Eldritch Moon – Transformers, Roll out!
Welcome to a transforming edition of the Daily Dose! Today, I’ll be talking about some more of the many, many transforming creatures coming in Eldritch Moon as a result of the madness going through Innistrad. If early previews are any indication, there won’t be many creatures left in their original form by the end of Eldritch Moon. I, for one, have no problem seeing this design space been...

Hello all and welcome to this weeks Budget Brews! Winning is nice, but it isn't our main goal here at Budget Brews, instead we just try and have some fun!

Daily Dose of Eldritch Moon – Well, that Escalated Quickly!
Welcome back to the wonderful world of Eldritch Moon, as I explore more of this wonderful plane. Yesterday, I looked into the wonderment that is the new Meld mechanic and today I’ll be looking into another new mechanic from the set: Escalate. Throughout Magic, there have been many different variations of modal cards. As recently as Khans of Tarkir, we saw Charm spells like . In Dragons of...

Musings of the Madman: Oyobi, Who Split Your Head
If you've ever wondered about the Spirit of EDH, wonder no more. Tonight's entry makes larger spirit tokens than virtually any other creature or spell in the game. Its' cost? You need to fuel it with either Spirit spells or Arcane spells, the latter of which were found uniquely in Champions of Kamigawa. Our deck's genesis begins at a kitchen table ages ago. If I recall correctly, Nick Sirman,...

Daily Dose of Eldritch Moon: It's Melding!
Welcome to a crazy edition of the Daily Dose of Eternal Masters! We have started the official start of spoiler season for Eldritch Moon, and boy did they not disappoint! For many years, the design of most Magic sets has not changed: we haven't seen very many changes in what cards do or what card types there are. In the Lorwyn set, they introduced a new card type called Planeswalkers. In...

Commander Mondays: Competitive Mono-Black Control
For this week's article, I've decided to bring another one of my old favourites out of the cupboard. This week I'm discussing my old deck list for . The title basically explains how the deck plays, it uses hand hate, creature removal, and "stax" effects to make the game miserably unplayable for the opponent. Xiahou Dun was chosen as the general for this deck due to his ability to recycle any...
