Maximizing the Value from Scrying and Drawing
You hear this question from new(ish) players every once in a while: Why is Preordain banned in Modern, but not Serum Visions? Sure, they are close, but they are not the same. That ordering changes the card quite a bit. Also, they have to draw the line somewhere.
Okay, so if Preordain is stronger than Serum Visions, does this mean you should always scry first, if you have the opportunity to choose? Well, that depends.
EDH Deck Time: Yarok and his Pals
So, Yarok, the Desecrated… a card made for the fans of Panharmonicon. Personally, I haven’t been that keen on breaking that particular card, but in the context of our meta, where wraths are plentiful, I would rather go for Mulldrifters than Baneslayers. (You can read more on this here.)
OF course, it would be easy to just throw a bunch of creatures with ETB-abilities into the deck, but I decided to go with a theme. I mean Yarok happens to be of a specific type. Elementals it is (even though horrors does tickle me as a theme, but there aren’t that many of them as of yet).
The Problem With Hatecards in MtG
We got Grafdigger’s Cage back. Is it enough? Not really.
Sketching Decks for the Ravnica Constructed
There’s a new event that started today on Magic Arena. The rules: You need to build a deck with cards from the three latest Ravnica sets with Gates Ablaze banned.
I Hate What They’ve Done to Standard (and Draft, for that matter)
I don’t really know if others feel the same, but Standard has, sadly, become a bit of chore for me.
The Decision Cube
Or maybe the Spike Cube?
Flavor Hits and Misses from Modern Horizons
As I write this, 188 cards have been previewed. If you are like me and use Mythic Spoilers to follow these, the last card to be previewed as of this writing is Soulherder.
But we are not here right now to talk about the powerlevel or usability of the cards, except when it affects how a card feels. I’m here to talk about how the cards evoke memories of old cards or themes.
My Love/Hate Relationship with Borderlands
I know I’m late on this, because it’s been about four years since the last actual Borderlands game, but the Borderlands 3 is coming out in September, so maybe this is very timely. Or that’s what I’ll tell myself.
I’m actually playing through Borderlands 2 for the first time right now, so this is a very immediate experience for me.
Trying Out: War Chest
The Guild gathered once again for our annual meetup. This year, the hit game was apparently a little obscure gem War Chest.
