Modern Masters 2015: What Could Have Been
On May 8th Wizards of the Coast released the full spoiler for Modern Masters 2015, a set designed to increase the supply of cards in high demand for modern play, but also to create an exciting (albeit short-lived and expensive) limited format. While the first 50 cards spoiled appealed to players looking for relief from high priced modern staples, the last 200 spoiled cards were almost exclusively...

Euro Trip with Pascal Maynard
Hi, fellow magicians. I'm finally home from our Team Wizard Tower European trip - where 5 friends and I tested together for both Pro Tour Dragons of Tarkir and GP Krakow. I have to say I'm grateful to write this live from my bed, it has been a while since we've been together. My Pro Tour didn't go very well and it's mainly on the back of my weakness to the Standard format in general. Standard...

Legacy Jund
My name is Dylan, and this is my first time coming to a meeting, and I have a problem. I don’t know when it started, but I’ve started to slip. Instead of being responsible and sleeving up my islands, I found myself binging on forests. Less and less was I casting counter magic, and instead was casting 4 and 5 mana green spells. My name is Dylan, and I have an addiction to midrange. When the...

Pro Tour Dragons of Tarkir Report
Hi everybody! While I normally write for another website, today I get to entertain the readers of WizardTower.com. Why? Well, I just so happened to win one of the last real PTQs last season, so I was qualified for the Pro Tour in Brussels. This didn’t immediately mean I could jump on the team that was generously sponsored by WizardTower.com, but thanks to some lobbying from captain Canada...

Shardless BUG and Magic Tournaments
This article is going to cover two separate subjects. One is Shardless BUG in Legacy (with a recap of my tournament at SCG Syracuse) and the other is on recent Magic tournaments from my perspective. If you're not in to legacy, I recommend control F-ing to "This next section" , and if you're not interested in Magic tournament behaviour, here's a link to a cat video! Two weeks ago, I made the trek...

The Modern Metagame
A MODERN PRIMER Starting a new magic format can be daunting. I was reminded of this a few months back when I thought I’d dabble in standard with a budget blue/white heroic deck. A few matches in and I realized that even a deck that seems linear can require a lot of decisions, and that making those decisions is really tough when you don’t know what your opponent’s deck is trying to do or...

Zurgo, the Emasculated. New Red Deck Wins!
...Ironic that he will see infinitely more play after his demotion. New standard formats are always one of my favourite times to play Magic because it's typically when I win most. Everyone else is still trying to figure out which cards are good and what decks they fit in. This is the time to play something fast and brutal that punishes their every misstep. It's time to play Red Deck Wins. I think...

Take Me To Church: Updating Orzhov Tokens
Lately I've been playing a lot of Modern, since for whatever reason, it is now being supported even more than Standard in my area. Thursday has become Modern night, there have been a number of Modern GPTs for GP: Toronto and there is also a biweekly Modern league. I feel confident saying that, recently, Modern has been my most played format and has the majority of my attention. While I have Burn...
