<title>Gathering the Magic: The Essence of Burn</title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Burn is one of the most straightforward deck types in the history of <b>Magic</b>, though its apparent simplicity is deceptive. This article will examine the deck strategically, but also point out what it can teach us about strategy in general - both within and outside of the game. ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mtgsalvation.com is kind of known as the site for rumors. Each new set has many forum posters guessing and analyzing the prospective new cards. I am always amazed at how accurate the speculation can be with all the chaos. ]]></content:encoded>

<title>ThoughtSeizing the Opportunity: Vesper Green</title>
<link>http://mtgsalvation.com/1140-thoughtseizing-the-opportunity-vesper-green.html</link>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi there! Welcome to the first of what I hope to be many articles in this series, ThoughtSeizing the Opportunity. I play all of the competitive formats but probably enjoy the Eternal formats - Legacy and Vintage - the most. That's why my articles (should there be more than one) will focus mostly on these two formats. This article is intended as a primer of my version of the Legacy deck Eva Green that I've been playing extensively over the past few months. ]]></content:encoded>

<title>Off Topic: The Crying Game</title>
<link>http://mtgsalvation.com/1139-off-topic-the-crying-game.html</link>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Many a player develop a strong emotional attachment to Magic. A lot of time and money is invested into the game. I understand. It is a joyous feeling having a deck perform well at a FNM or taking top place in a draft. Along with winning, we spend many a day losing to the person sitting across from us. The multiple losses used to bug me more in the past. A large part of me felt it was a slap in the face to my intelligence indirectly. I figured that I’m a smart guy. I should be able to perform well. More and more, I appreciate how the vast pool of Magic players are filled with intelligent people even if it is in their own special way. Nonetheless, I no longer assume the person sitting across from me is an idiot. Failing to give my opponent enough credit often leads me to a defeat. ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ If you are taking data for play testing, make sure you are answering the right question. Make for damn sure the published results are what they say they are. I can’t recall how many times I see somebody spouting some homebrew new deck beats every deck in the format 80 percent of the time. It is not realistic. ]]></content:encoded>

<title>Good Game: Deck Double-Header</title>
<link>http://mtgsalvation.com/1134-good-game-deck-double-header.html</link>
<pubDate>Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh, the first month of a new Standard is always so exciting. So many new decks flying around, so many attempts at making the next hot thing (or at least, something you can warm yourself by). Of course, with every success comes failures. And that's one success to multiple failures. Thus is the curse of invention—it is a process largely determined by trial and error. ]]></content:encoded>
