In October 3, I posted a RW midrange list that used the best Planeswalkers Red and White has to offer, play the best sweepers, and win with Chandra ultimate, Gideon's attacks, or Huatli's 3/3 dinos. I included a single copy of Sunbird's Invocation and Approach of the Second Sun in case games go long and... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone, Today we will step back from mid range strategies and go back to basics with aggro strategies. The recent 304-player tournament in the Philippines over the weekend was trumped by a mono Black aggressive deck that used extremely cheap creatures that pack a lot of damage very early. Coupled with the resiliency that... Continue Reading →
So here's the list I ran for Gold Rush 2017 which ended with a 5-4 finish. ROUND 1 versus 4-COLOR ENERGY (WIN) The immediate breakthrough card in this match-up is having a Dire Fleet Hoarder (DFH) and Captain Lannery Storm early in the game to help us ramp and possibly cheat a Chandra or Glorybringer...

Hello Alchemists! I'm sure the title of today's deck tech got your curiosity bone vibrating because I've been saving this deck tech for quite a while written on gas receipts somewhere in my wallet.

I have been playing more regularly between 2016-2017 than in any of my years playing Magic since 1996. Back in the day, people drop to preserve their points but this system has been changed. Grinding is now the primary source of points to qualify for WMCQs, GP byes or invites. I have not been successful... Continue Reading →
Before I got into Modern, in which I am not very active now either, I was astonished by how simple decks with a very clear agenda, very smooth curve, and near perfect consistency can sometimes take down expensive decks and take advantage when they stumble on their draws. Take a look at this deck that... Continue Reading →
Hello Hello! Why do something once if you can do it twice? Why have one if you can have two? Life's just better with more of everything (except mana screws). I was fascinated how the Grixis Thopter deck got a top 4 finish in GP Shanghai Today I'm here to build on the two-card combo... Continue Reading →
Good evening everyone! It's been hectic at work that's why I couldn't write as quickly and as often these days but I try my best to bring you content as consistent as I can! If you've been following, I made a deck a few days ago using Sunbird's Invocation and maximizing the explosiveness of red... Continue Reading →
New week, new day, new deck! Today I am pretty stoked because I have a spicy new deck I'd like to share with you. But another reason why I'm very happy is because I am seeing a lot of players in tournaments who know about this blog and are following it! Thank you so much... Continue Reading →
