Daily Dose of Dragons of Tarkir: Dragons! And more Dragons!
Daily Dose of Dragons of Tarkir: 5-Color Dragons AND Black/White Warriors Welcome to another Daily Dose of Dragons of Tarkir! I’m here today with another deck tech and today we’re talking Dragons folks. Lots and lots of dragons! We’re going 5-color Dragon today and I’m going to talk a little about how I would go about doing that. Instead of talking about cards based on casting cost like...

Primer: Alesha, Who Smiles at Death as a Tiny Leader
Primer: Alesha, Who Smiles at Death as a Tiny Leader While I was initially reluctant to embrace the Tiny Leader format, it does seem like it's poised to be the next big thing. After playing it a bit, it is actually a surprisingly fun and deep format. It should come as no surprise after my last article that my commander of preference is Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. As soon as I saw the card...

The Deck I Almost Played at the Pro Tour
11:30 pm eve of the Pro Tour ... Obviously still undecided on my deck (anyone who knows me a little bit will know that I'm ''Pascal, Audible Hipster'') But this time, it's different. I have two decks that I've been working on 5-6 weeks prior the Pro Tour. I know them both pretty well, except one I've been mainly testing on MODO. Which turns out to be a problem because I would face the same decks...

Skluby-Do and the Fate Reforged Crew
With Fate Reforged being released I wanted to talk a little bit about the cards that I think you should pick up for casual formats, standard, and possibly for older formats. So let us begin with . She is a perfect card for the new tiny leaders commander format I have heard so much buzz about. Her ability is very strong and flavourful which will put her right up there in casual play. If a standard...

The “Core” of Modern
As part of its “metamorphosis” announcement last year, Wizards of the Coast notified players that Magic 2016 will be the last core set they produce, as magic production changes to a sequence of two-set blocks. While we’ll have to wait until the summer to see if M16 sends core sets out with a bang (Force of Will reprint perhaps?) or a whimper (bushido is back!), its a good time to look back...

Dashed Hopes
For those that don't know me, I strongly identify with the Mardu Horde. Red, White and Black are the colours I like to play and I generally steer clear of Green and Blue. This is just my personal preference. Some of the guys I brew with say that it holds me back, but I think there are plenty of great players that basically play the same thing every time. I'm at the point where playing a deck I...
