You do not need to take out a loan on your house to play magic. The casual magic player can afford a deck for little investment. This week I am going to focus on a suspend deck for two-headed giant extended.

Here is my meandering analysis of reanimation strategies for 100 singleton and tournament report to back it up. Oh yeah, and you'll never guess what happened to me at the end of the tournament.

@misterorange I'm pretty sure it does, although in the future it won't work that way (next year m10 rotates out w shards, but X is gone now)

Lost to BG Elves, but doesn't matter since I'm just killing time until t8 starts.
-
Barely beat MonoRed, mostly on the back of Cliques of many flavors. At 5-0, I'm now a lock since this particular event is only 6 rounds

Had a pretty easy match against GW Tokens, helped by him playing zero spells Game 1...I think as long as I don't 0-3 I'll probably T8 here

@wrongwaygoback Unfortunately we are limited to 10 mins per Youtube video, so we can't do much except split them, though our time will go up
-
@rkho Yeah, but Lightning Bolt will make more people play red, which should make things tougher (along with that stupid stag)
-
@Amistod Fixed!

2-0 in this Standard PE with Faeries. Swans was close, but UG Favor of the Overbeing.dec was not. I hope Faeries is good enough post-M10 =/
Good Gamery

Last month, Wizards of the Coast announced a salient set of rules changes. Although many of these changes are superficial, one in particular is not; combat damage now uses the stack. While events like these can be expected to raise cries that Magic is dying among scrubs, even more cogent veterans expressed unhappiness at the change.
?The change removes decisions a lot of interesting decisions from the game,? commented one player. ?Consider blocking Savannah Lions with a Sakura Tribe Elder. Under the old rules I had to make a choice between trading and getting a land, but now there will simply be only one correct play. I understand their desire to make the game more accessible to newer play

7/3/09 - Are you a trading fanatic like I am? Whether or not you keep an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of your incoming and outgoing trades with people online, I want to know how often you trade. Vote in this month's poll and let me know. Feel free to discuss it in this discussion thread of why you do or don't, things you like and dislike about trading with people online, etc. And most importantly, know you can trade cards with other members of MDV if you post a thread in our Bazaar of Wonders. ~Streetz~ Discuss Here. [Poll is to the right].

7/3/09 - Not only is there a theme this month, but there are six featured links instead of the standard five. This month I'm featured six different Magic Card Shops and Tournament Organizers from all across Illinois including Central Illinois, Chicago, Suburban Chicago and Northern Illinois. If you know of any other Illinois Shops worth featuring, please send me an email. I plan on featuring more later this year. ~Streetz~ Discuss Here.

WE PLAY TOO #8: Dale?s Redemption
One of the original ideas behind ?We Play Too? was to demonstrate the flaw in the common perception that judges are bad players. Unfortunately, for a brief instant later in this report, the flaw will be in my play. But there?s lots of ...

I once again turned to the deck I used to top 8 at Regionals, a techy little G/W beater. I hammered out a few minor course corrections, and the Rhino Loveboat was sailing more smoothly than ever before.

This card is bigger than before, both in effect and mana cost. It's still a huge effect, you just have to live a little longer!

I looked at the forum post in (TERROR),worried that it would, once again (INCINERATE) my hopes. Were the rewards, once again, going to be some textless card that would simply REMOVE my SOUL? So often, the player rewards cards - and especially the FNM and judge foils - have been cards that are about to rotate out. I looked. You know, the Player Rewards program ain't all that bad.

2 cards, 2 mana, lose 28 life. I played the restricted ex-dominant Flash-Hulk in three Classic events on the weekend of June 20 and 21, and made top 8 in all three.
In reporting on the three tournaments, I cover a LOT of related stuff, including the Classic metagame, some theorizing, and my thoughts - a lot of them - on the Flash deck I played.

Friday, July 3rd - I missed my article last Monday. But that article was almost ghost-written by my boss, Pete ? and it would have read like this: The Ferrett, webmaster and long-time writer for this site, died on Tuesday evening due to complications arising from a burst appendix?

Friday, July 3rd - With the release of Magic 2010 right around the corner, we will soon be leaving behind Shards of Alara / Conflux / Alara Reborn Limited for the unknown shores of what is shaping up to be the most interesting Core Sets in recent memory.

Friday, July 3rd - Given that there are always a few hiccups in the spoilers leading up to the prerelease, I thought it might be handy to look at M10 broadly - from a 5000-foot level, as it were - and read what the tea leaves tell us regarding what the good folk at Wizards have in mind for the game as they reboot the Core set.

Friday, July 3rd - This week was supposed to be a preview card for you fine readers, but it appears as if our friends over at MTGSalvation.com have managed to spoil the party (pun intended). But, since the card image itself hasn't been leaked, let me at least give you a card image?

The Dope Show - Why You Aren?t Winning
Truth be told, I didn?t foresee myself returning to the celebrated ranks of the internet Magic community. Then again, I didn?t foresee myself sloughing the pitiful remnants of my ambition and being down to my last 284 dollars either, so I suppose I ...

While I did not win the Minneapolis 5K, my good friend Justin Meyer did, with the same 75 as my article from last week. In addition to winning the tournament, he also knocked me out in round seven. Congratulations Justin!

Thursday, July 2nd - Faeries is dead? Long live Faeries! The introduction of a new set brings the Fae doomsayers out of the woodwork, but our fluttery friends aren?t quite in the grave yet. Paulo investigates the cards that will impact Fae from both sides of the table, and examines the rules changes with an eye on the Blue/Black menace?

Thursday, July 2nd - Everyone seems to know me as the Faeries guy, and, in all fairness, for good reason. Spellstutter Sprite has carried me to two Pro Tours and won me countless matches online. However, what?s far lesser known than my alignment with the winged menace is my affiliation with the Reveillark collective.

Thursday, July 2nd - My official job title at Star City Games is Events Coordinator. This typically involves promoting our events, staffing them, and then traveling throughout the Southeast to run them. Although I've never actually counted, it's a safe bet that I run some thirty to forty events every year, everything from Prereleases to PTQs.

Thursday, July 2nd - Years ago, Wizards changed the prize payout for drafts. At one time, the drafts paid 5-3-2-2 packs. Later, that was cut to 4-3-2-2, and the 8-4 queues introduced. Some Magic players have never forgiven Wizards for this change, and continue to attack Wizards, and the payout, in the forums and elsewhere whenever possible.
