Hello everyone, It's Saturday morning and I picked up an idea while I was taking my BW tokens deck apart. BW and Abzan tokens are the most successful go-wide strategy in standard as of late and much to their success is the crazy synergy that the deck plays. Hidden Stockpile is the main cog in...

Hello everyone, It's been a week since I had the time come write on the blog, work has been super busy as I transition to a new regional role which will require me to fly out to different countries in Asia. I'll be in Singapore on the last week of March so if you're there... Continue Reading →
We're not talking about Ixalan here my brothers and sisters. We recently held our store championships here in Manila and a friend of mine won the tournament with UB control that played Nezahal, Primal Tide. This Loch Ness Monster of a dinosaur is priced so cheap it's criminal! It wins games on its own, it's... Continue Reading →
Hi Alchemists, God-Pharoah's Gift is one of the most flavorful cards from Amonkhet, letting you raise an army of Eternals every combat step. It was also very successful in the standard format which forced some decks to play graveyard hate in respect to its power if left unanswered. There are two ways to build the... Continue Reading →

I also noticed that the BG shell can take some time assembling the pieces to win the game which is not always good... Continue Reading →
Hello Brewers! This won't be a long deck tech because I don't have the time but I don't want this idea to slip pass me! So this deck tech is my attempt to revisit my Favorable Winds deck that used flying pirates like Siren Stormtamer and Kitesail Freebooter to win a tempo-based game and crash... Continue Reading →
Azor's Gateway went into a BG shell that went 5-0 in an MTGO competitive league. This caught Eric Froehlich's attention and he wrote about it in Channel Fireball. In my local meta, I also found RB players and Mono-Black players trying this artifact out thanks to Reddit and Saffron Olive who made a deck that... Continue Reading →
Gonti, Lord of Luxury is one of my favorite cards in standard and I pre-ordered 4 copies because I knew he was a decent piece in a mid-range deck. Cards with ETB abilities can be treated as a 2-in-1 card because you get a creature and a spell-based effect in 1 card. Gonti has a... Continue Reading →
With Protour Rivals of Ixalan in the books, we all witnessed the power of precision control elements that can deprive opponents from playing normal Magic. Ensnaring Bridge together with a hand-less strategy and milling your opponent off of key cards that can remove the Bridge was a solid game plan against a meta filled with... Continue Reading →
