Uriah of CMDRDecks has a submitted a sweet Goblins Wort deck for suggestions. Can Carlos find some ways to push the themes and make the deck go bigger?
Welcome back to our exploration of Zendikar. If you were busy last week while we were plumbing the ruins of ancient tombs, take a look at Part One and you’ll catch up. Otherwise, come on in and let’s check out the second half of this set!
The second installment of artifact theme decks! This time Carlos is looking at a mono-red deck with Slobad at the helm and with his favorite combo in the 99.
Mark Hinsz recounts this past weekend’s SCG Invitational event, where he piloted Big Zoo in Legacy and Dungrove Elder Wolf Run in Standard, and shares with us his thoughts on the meta and the refreshing philosophical lens he’s recently applied to the game.
Champions of Kamigawa drew upon Japanese mythology, with its shrines, kami and crazy dragon spirits. Though it doesn’t pack in the ridiculous combo cards like Mirrodin did, it is full of legends, which means that there are a bunch of cards that get their value from Commander. This week, we will look at the first half of the set and how you can get the most money from Champs. Let’s look!
Darksteel, the second set in Mirrodin block, is notorious for driving off more Magic players than any other set, even the Urza block. It contained high-power cards for Affinity that did not require finesse to win with. It was like UG Madness in that the best deck was cheap, easy to play and frustrating to metagame against.
This week, Doug takes us through Legions, the first all-creature set in Magic. While it was oriented mainly to casual players, Legions had some tournament success and still retains some valuable cards. Click in to see what the Slivers sell for!
Sometimes, decks have a pretty solid theme and plan. When you’re building the Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician deck you know it’s going to be both a burning blade of doom and gooey pile of in-your-own-face explosions. See what Carlos has been cooking with for for weeks!
Onslaught was a momentous set. The cards catered to a huge number of casual players who wanted support for their tribal decks, with support for Elves, Goblins and other, newly-ordained tribes like Soldiers and Wizards. It’s hard to believe that before Onslaught, “tribal” wasn’t really much of a term to describe the mechanic. The set had plenty for tournament players, too.
