Going Rogue: Modern Dredge Control
Hello and welcome back to another edition of Going Rogue, where winning isn't the goal but it often happens anyways. Do you like decks that win on turn three? Do you like doing infinite damage out of nowhere? Do you like nimble synergies that leave your opponent cautious about each possible card in your hand? Then this is not the deck for you. No, Dredge Control is literally incapable of winning...

Turning things around.
Where to start..? So things have obviously turned around in the last week, and that couldn’t be any clearer than it is now, but did things go wrong in Milwaukee at the Pro Tour? Or did I bring it on myself? Was it just Magic? It’s easy to write off a poor result in a tournament as nothing other than bad luck. And believe me, I’ve fallen in that trap all too often. I don’t like to lose, as...

An Examination of the Commander Banned List

This week, we're moving on to the most loved and hated colour in Magic, Blue. Wisdom, Power of Will, and Arcane Manipulation From a flavour perspective, here is what Blue likes to do. It has many finely tuned strengths, and as many staggering weaknesses. As a result,...

A Higher Standard – Creature-Lands
Something every reasonable magic deck has is lands. (Thanks for not letting me write all magic decks mana-less dredge!) You need it to cast your spells. The thing with lands though is that if you draw too many of them and not enough spells you could run out of action and fold to whatever your opponent is doing. The flip side of that coin is that if you draw too few you don’t get to play any...

Combat
Hello new player and welcome back to the multiverse. In our last article we took a look at how the phases of a turn worked in a game of Magic the Gathering, including a brief look at combat. Combat is one of the most important parts of Magic as it provides a player with his most consistent chance to do damage to another player. With that in mind, we will take a more detailed look at how different...
