Today we’ll begin a thorough dissection of Magic’s five colors, perfect for newcomers and a refreshing review for veterans. After exploring the Color Wheel, we’ll move onto the series’ first installment. You’ll find all the Green cards you can expect to see in Legacy alongside decklists galore.

Neale takes a reader’s Rafiq deck from common to commanding for head’s up play, and challenges you to do it better. Think you can handle the firepower?

Pick up a control deck just days before a Legacy tournament? Sure, I can win with that. You can too.

In the fifth part of his ongoing series, Usman gives us a SWOT on green in cubes!

Alan had also brought along the shell for Summoning Trap, which is a deck I had seen and liked initially. After looking at the deck laid out – I figured an audible was in order. Why? I simply wasn’t going to win the tournament with Faeries, so my best chance was to change decks.

My name is Joshua Justice. I’m technically a “Magic Pro” because I won a PTQ last year and made Day Two at Pro Tour: Amsterdam. In reality, I’m just a weekend grinder who’s been back in the game for a little over a year, and I’ve had a couple of successful tournaments. This story begins two weeks before Grand Prix: Atlanta, in a comic shop called The DeeP in Huntsville, Alabama. My plan that day was to play in a Grand Prix Trial, then move to Atlanta to start my new job.
