The best part of playing rogue decks is when you play against another rogue deck. Both of you try your best to outwit your opponent and hope they stumble while they sideboard against a deck that's under the radar. One such deck caught my attention while I was playing my Anointed Sanity deck and he... Continue Reading →
Hi everyone, I was playing some holiday Monday afternoon magic at my LGS and out of 4 games, my brewed UG Energy Mill using Fraying Sanity and Fleet Swallower successfully milled out my opponent once. Although the combo is sweet, it's extremely hard to pull off because you need to stay alive, set-up your combo... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone, It's great to be back. Seoul was awesome and the weather was fantastic and I'm missing it already. I didn't get much Magic time over there but the long way back did give me some ideas to play around. Today I want to explore the idea of merging Sultai Energy which propelled Seth...

I won't deny that the energy mechanic is powerful, and is capable of warping the meta that forces players to either play with it or prepare to play against it. With high quality creatures that grow bigger, self protects, generates card advantage and creates a wide board presence using energy as a resource is a... Continue Reading →
Hello guys, Today I want to share with you a twist of the Abzan Tokens deck that plays more proactively but still enjoy the same synergy and at a lower cost. Token decks have been taking the meta by storm in the past couple weeks thanks to Ixalan's Vraska, Relic Seeker who took the deck's... Continue Reading →
Infinite combos remain one of the most sought after tricks in Magic the Gathering. Mind you that infinite combos have existed since Alpha! Time Vault + Animate Artifact + Instill Energy is one good example of infinite turns back in a format where Black Lotuses and Moxes were legal. People can easily put cards together...

Traffic was insane tonight so I decided to brew a Tishana, Voice of Thunder deck for standard while driving. She's the most difficult legend to cast from Ixalan, requiring 7 mana to bring down. The upside though is that you have no maximum hand size which is relevant to her ability of drawing you cards... Continue Reading →
