I Wanna Be Your (Spider)Man

(Editor’s ‘Note: ‘Do you have a module based on the comic where Peter Parker and Mary Jane get married?) Once upon a time, a gamer was a gamer. ‘You played video, board, card, roleplaying, and sometimes miniature games. ‘You bonded with other gamers over your mutual status as outsiders from polite society. ‘Really, we were […]

Monored Blitz

In order to counter Shawn’s RDW, which can be seen here, I thought it would be in my best interest to create my own version of RDW (fight fire with fire you might say…get it? Because it’s red deck vs re…<clears throat>…). Having played against another one of Shawn’s aggro decks in the past, I

Do You Want to Build Some Standard?

(Editor’s Note: Chris asked this question a couple of weeks ago. Before you ask, yes he sang it just like the girl from Frozen. He has a beautiful singing voice.) I was never interested in the various formats of Magic or what they meant until about a month ago. One of my favorite Magic streamers

Jeskai Heroic on a Budget

  Here is another standard deck (well, Standard as of 4/15) that I’ve been fine-tuning over the last few days. The title says it all..it’s a R/W/U heroic deck..no insanely valuable cards, no smothering control, no crazy life-gain, just pump your creatures up and go to town.

Attempting Abzan on the Cheap

(Editor’s Note: Chris came up with the idea a couple of weeks ago to delve (pun fully intended) into Standard with a couple of our decks to explore the strategy of having to update decks periodically as new sets are released and old sets rotate out. This doesn’t mean that we are going away from

Getting the Gang Together

(Editor’s Note: Be on the lookout for a “Help Wanted” sign on a tavern door near you. It could be these guys and if you want to keep living, you’ll just walk on by. That’s not a threat. It’s a warning.) I wrote an article recently about Dungeons and Dragons. In the article, I mentioned

Blond’s Top 5 Dragons of Tarkir Cards

It’s that time again folks, a new expansion is yet again on the radar. Which means another Top 5 list! I’ll be honest, Dragons of Tarkir has me more excited than any other set since I’ve started playing (that’s saying a lot because I absolutely loved Theros). It actually took me quite a long time
