Five-Colour Cobra
The April 4th banlist update was amazing, was it not?

For me personally though, the moment is bittersweet. I’ve been looking forward to playing with and for a while now, but I’m actually at the height of brewing an entirely...

Budget Brews: The Gitrekt Monster
Hello and welcome to this weeks Budget Brew! I know it's been a few weeks since we've really tackled the Standard format, and now that I've had the time to sit down and process the spoilers, watch a major Standard event the wheels have turned on something... It's not that often that I find one card that I really want to grab and brew a whole deck around it (ignore those articles I've done ). But...

Musings of the Madman: Re-examining Regeneration
Welcome back all! This week we’ll look at a powerful, problematic ability in Regeneration. Last week’s Latest Developments had an internal discussion on the topic. Essentially, it’s being retired because, in David Humphrey’s words: “In short, because it encompasses more things than we'd ideally want (tap, removes from combat, remove damage, sets up a shield), not nearly as egregious as...

Tournament Report – St. Jerome Preliminary Pro Tour Qualifier – Part 3
Read Part 1 here! Read Part 2 here! Quarterfinals: Mardu Green So here we are. I've squeaked into top 8 on tie breakers and I get the rematch against my round five Mardu Green opponent. Unfortunately for him, this match did not go as well. With me being the 8th seed I knew I’d be starting on the draw every match for the rest of the tournament. Game one I kept a strong hand with a three land...

Commander Monday: Top 10 Underrated Multicolour Cards in EDH

Since then, I've had many people suggesting multicolour cards that they find are underrated, as well as artifacts and lands. Today, I'm going to share what I find are ten of the most sorely underrated multicolour cards in the format. I will...

Bad Brews: Falkenrath Gorger
Hello and welcome back to Bad Brews! Okay... so two weeks ago I lied. I said I was coming back last week with a Bad Brews for Khans of Tarkir. Then I opened a , and everything went to hell. Or is going to hell, depending on your perspective. You see, we are so close to rotation that I don't feel comfortable brewing up something based on one of the best cards in the format, especially...

The Fun Elemental: Cutthroat Combo + Boom/Bust in a Jar
The community has banded together and collected the clues. They’ve worked tirelessly to decode the puzzles and unmask the source of the Shadows Over Innistrad. Who could it possibly be: Emrakul? Marit Lage? The Flying Spaghetti Monster? Not even close. It’s something much more powerful, dangerous, and awesome and it has finally broke free of it's confines to rain mandatory fun upon the...
