Jenara Gets Serious

For those curious about the deck I’m talking about, you can see it here. Jenara is without a doubt, my favorite deck. It’s also my most powerful, yes, but the deck is just so rewarding to play that the power is more of a perk than a feature. There are so many rich interactions between…

Commander Cube First Pick #1

Let’s say this is the first pack you open in a cube draft. What do you first pick and why? Assume that your group has decided to draft your generals at the end instead of at the beginning. [card]Iona, Shield of Emeria[/card] [card]Arcane Laboratory[/card] [card]Phyrexian Arena[/card] [card]Disaster Radius[/card] [card]Krosan Tusker[/card] [card]Golgari Signet[/card] [card]Relic of Progenitus[/card]…

Holiday Presents and Packages

One great piece of knowledge that I received from my family is: whenever you are invited to someone’s house for the first time, it is a good idea to be courteous and if you can, bring a small housewarming gift. Seeing as how this is my first post on this blog, which I could see…

EDH Deckbuilding Fundamentals: Too Much Good Stuff

Most seasoned EDH deckbuilders know the feeling. You’ve got this great idea for a deck, say for instance a crazy BUG spirit tribal deck. Your mind whirls with the possibilities as you feverishly pick out all the cards that would go in the deck. [card]Mirror-Mad Phantasm[/card]! [card]Conspiracy[/card]! [card]Promised Kannushi[/card]! Then, of course, you need to…

Armageddon (or how I learned to stop worrying about losing and love the bomb)

Back in high school, a couple friends of mine and I started playing a little known computer game that goes by the name of Dwarf Fortress. It’s possible that none of you have heard of it, but if you have, you’ll know that it has a wonderful motto: “losing is fun.” I wish that I…

Commander Cube Version 1.2.03942

Ok, you caught me, the last five digits on the current Commander Cube version number are kinda BS, but I do have a point to make. Last Tuesday (Candy has already told some of the awesome stories of the games), I tried something new the the Cube that I think added a lot to the…

The Cube is Not a Lie

I swear we’re not going to turn this into the All Commander Cube, All the Time blog, but damn, that shit is a lot of fun. Sam was out of Portland for the past several months because of university, but he’s back now, and that means for a glorious month, we get to Cube draft…

Unsung Heroes, Part III

Guided Passage This is easily one of the goofiest cards I’ve ever seen, but boy howdy is it powerful. Three mana nets you three cards, straight up. Now, granted, most of the time those three cards are going to be a basic land, a piece of (presumably) useless graveyard hate, and then something like a…

Sacred Cows…or Snake-Elf-Druidy…Things

Ever hear someone wax poetic about a card and just think, “Really?” I’m that way with Coiling Oracle. Everyone and their kid sister seems to think that it’s amazing in ETB decks, but as an avowed ETB connoiseur, I’m not impressed. Paying two mana to either draw a card or put a land into play…

O Captain! My Captain! Thoughts on the Portrayal of Women in Magic Artwork

For Halloween this year, in honor of my new-ish job at Red Castle Games, I decided to get my nerd on to the limit (EVERYBODY TO THE LIMIT) and dress up as [card]Captain Sisay[/card]. And I mean I went to quite a bit of time, expense and trouble: I went to a dozen different shops…
