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...

Budget Brews: 8Rack
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. As a guy with a family, I don't have as much disposable income to put towards Magic that I used to, but I still want to try and remain semi-competitive. So this week we're going to look at an archetype from Legacy which you...

Musings of the Madman: Wishing for Eternal Masters
Welcome back all! With the recent announcement that Eternal Masters will, indeed, become a reality in June, we’ve been teased with reprints of and and some interesting tidbits. First, no cards off the Reserved List so any hopes for dual-land reprints can now be put to rest. However, this still leaves an enormous field to play in. Let’s look at some cards that would do us a world of good to...

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...

Bad Brews: Oath of Jace
Hello and welcome to Bad Brews For those of you new to these articles, let me just recap: every week I crack open a new pack from Standard and hope for the best. Often I end up with the worst, which just makes the game more fun. Then I take the cards from that pack and try to make a deck around them! This week I cracked open a pack of Oath of the Gatewatch. 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...

Shadows Over Innistrad Wishlist
When Battle for Zendikar was announced I was mainly excited for a reprint of fetchlands for Modern, and to a lesser extent the hope of Modern playable goblin, vampire, and ally cards. With both sets of the block behind us, I clearly didn’t get much of what I had hoped for. For Shadows over Innistrad I am mostly just hoping that the Lovecraft-inspired theme plays out well in the cards, as I am a...

Standard Deck Tech - Jeskai Prowess
Hi all, thanks for reading my first (and hopefully not last) article with MTGCanada! I admit, I'm not a Canadian. Originally I hail from quite far from the Great White North, I now live on the border and meet with Canadians on a daily basis. As far as Magic goes, I was thrilled when Pascal Maynard made a Top 8 in a Pro-Tour and fully supported the decision to money draft the foil back in Grand...
