Hello everyone, While I wait for my 10:00pm call, let's sneak in a deck tech shall we? Dominaria and M19 gave us some usable elves and some did see some standard play. Cards like Llanowar Elves powered a turn 2 Steel Leaf Champion (which is also an elf), and Thorn Lieutenant was a bane for... Continue Reading →
Wow. 2 weeks of zero writing, zero articles, zero deck techs. I'm so ashamed. After GP Hong Kong, which I lost in the win-and-in with Esper Mill, I really had to come back in full swing to catch up with work, wedding preparations, home renovations and last minute stuff here and there. While I was... Continue Reading →
Hello Everyone, Hold your horses, I didn't quit Standard. But because its modern season, I want to share what I'm using whenever I play modern. Recently I placed 16th in a 47-man modern PPTQ with a 3-1-2 record. I won against RB Hollow One, Hardened Scales and UR Kiki-Mite, then drew to Bant Reliquary and... Continue Reading →

Hello again guys, I received a lot of messages asking for part 2 of my dreams of opening my own MTG shop. Some even sent me business proposals, vacant commercial spaces to help me make my dream into a reality, offered to be my business partner, or encouraged me to revisit my dream. I'm sure...

Hello everyone, As much as I love sharing my brews, I also like to use the blog to reach out to you on other things I have thought about, or still taking of, about the game we all love so very much. Almost 2 years ago, me and a friend of mine wanted to open... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone, Welcome back! GP Brussels is now done and the top 8 couldn't have been more diverse.

Not to mention there were a lot of rogue decks that went 7-0 or... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone, I hope everyone is safe from the storms. Especially those who live near Marikina and low lying areas, stay safe, stay dry. Save all the important things like passports, documents, fetchlands and duals. GP Brussels is happening as you read this and a lot of people have sleeved up proxy mountains. If you...

Hello Alchemist, When the knights of Dominaria came into the picture, I always wanted to build them and use one of Ixalan's quirky flip-chantments, Path of Mettle. For a time it was tried by some of the pros and found its use to be limited and narrow. This card went into hibernation and I think... Continue Reading →
Hello Alchemist, While all of us are still probably talking about the breakout decks of Pro Tour 25th Anniversary, I was very happy that the pro players did not disappoint in bringing in a couple of breakout decks to give the different formats some spice. Nexus Turns, Bridge Vine and a lot of classic but... Continue Reading →
