Budget Brews: U/r Fevered Control
Hello all and welcome to this weeks Budget Brews, where we try to untap the Multiverse, just a little cheaper. Shadows Over Innistrad is chalk full of build around cards, so this week we're going to look at Standard yet again. is a card that I've been seeing lists floating around the net, and have run into a few control decks online optimizing the card, and after losing a few times to it I...

Commander Mondays: Ana's Anachantments
For this week I decided to do something a little bit unorthodox. at the helm of an enchantment deck. Most enchantment decks I've seen are Bant coloured, using as the commander. But I decided that I liked using black mana a bit too much. Anafenza was literally only chosen because she has the most useful effect for simply sitting on the battlefield, as I believed I was highly unlikely to cast any...

Bad Brews: Mina and Denn, Wildborn
Hello and welcome back to bad brews! Like we always do at this time, I go for mine... I shouldn’t quote Kanye at any time, but there... I did. Bad Brews is of course the game we play where we crack open a booster pack of something in Standard and hope for the worst. That's right, the worst rare possible is our goal, because we are going to try to make up a deck using that rare as the focal...

Going Rogue: Blink and You'll Miss it.
Hello and welcome back to another edition of Going Rogue, where winning isn't the goal but it often happens anyway. Way back in time, during Lorwyn block, I could be found sitting around my kitchen table with friends, cruising my way into an unstoppable wave of value by casting on my evoked . With some copies of , , , and in the deck, there was really not much my opponents could do once the ball...

Modern Unbans - What to do with Sword and Vision
It’s been several weeks since the Modern banlist update, and so far fears of a “blue control spring” replacing “eldrazi winter” appear unfounded. and are both putting up results, but neither is dominating - pretty much the best case scenario for cards once deemed worthy of a pre-emptive ban out of the format. It turns out that beneath the eminent strength of both cards rests some hidden...

Budget Brews: Black-Green Aristocrats
Hello all and welcome to this weeks Budget Brews! I was originally planning on rolling out a sweet Legacy Combo Brew, but since I'm sitting here writing this and watching Pro Tour Shadows Over Innistrad, I think maybe we should check out Standard! Before I continue with my little Budget Brew, I want to give a shout out to Dan Lanthier who ended the weekend in Madrid with an amazing 30 points. I...

Musings of the Madman: Three to Ban, Three to Unban
Welcome back all! Let's look at the Commander banned list for a few moments. They usually take their time banning items, and usually only after a massive outcry on various forums and clear levels of player frustration. A more dynamic approach might benefit the format, but that incurs other frustrations, in that players might not know what to build next. Let's move a handful of cards off and on...
