Last week I played in a standard tournament for four [card]Jace, the Mind Sculptor[/card]s. I played SparkBlade, a list very similar to the one in my last article.

Continuing our exploration of Legacy and the Color Wheel, we’ll move onto the series’ second installment. You’ll find all the White cards you can comfortably prepare to see in Legacy alongside the most prominent decklists harnessing the color.

Mike Lanigan discusses the impact of the cards of New Phyrexia on Standard’s Vampire archetype.

Wanting to give the newest and mono-Blackiest cards a chance to shine, Gregory Marques walks us through his current project.

Consistent, powerful decks are obviously appealing. Carlos takes a recent Standard standout, Valakut, and transforms it into a pinnacle of efficiency in Commander! See how he does it inside!

Since I last wrote of Pauper, much has changed on MTGO! Included here are a full MTGO field archetype breakdown, multiple new decklists, and reader questions from Twitter.

Today we look into the Mono-Blue strategy from its enemy’s perspective. We’ll figure out how to fight, what actually matters as the enemy of the strategy, and take back what was stolen. Welcome to The Way of the Warrior where we Don’t MUC Around.

Corbin Hosler explains how to get the most information out of the Prediction Tracker and looks in on the Tracker in its second week!

With the exception of Splinter-Twin, however, the new metagame is very similar to the metagame before rotation.  Edgar Flores won the first SCG Open with NPH legal with a UW CawBlade list that looked very similar to the pre-rotation lists. In this metagame there are a number of cards that are being underplayed, in my opinion, and here are the top 5.

It was not until the entire top eight had four copies of Jace the Mind Sculptor in their main deck that the talks became serious. We all knew nothing would happen then because New Phyrexia was yet to be released, in printed form at least. But now, the release has come and gone, players have adopted some new cards into their decks, and a new deck or two have made tournament appearances. So, what’s changed since then?

We’ve had 2 weeks of Opens to see the impact New Phyrexia has had on the Standard and Legacy tournament scenes. I’m going to focus on Standard, since the Grand Prix this weekend is Legacy, and will almost certainly have more players than the SCG Open series gets. Waiting on that will give us a bit of a better view on the format. However, for Standard, there’s no reason to wait, especially since the format hasn’t really undergone much of a change.

Mike Hawthorne runs us through the strength and synergy of Legacy’s New Horizons, giving us a map of the deck’s abilities and interactions.
