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...

Hello everyone! I'm so excited today because I'm off to a week-long vacation to Seoul next week. That means I won't be writing any blogs for the next 5 days but rest assured I will still be cooking up some deck techs in between kimchi making and barbecuing. Today, after much thought, I present to... Continue Reading →
The standard format of today is won by combat damage most of the time. Agree? If you look at the gauntlets of Ixalan standard, all the decks except Approach wins through combat damage. Whether you die quickly with haste creatures, die relative fast with value creatures, or die a horrible death through massive punches, you... Continue Reading →
Today is All Saint's Day in the Philippines and it's a holiday for people to visit their departed love ones in the cemetery. It's also a common tradition for people to do a stop over before going home to leave behind spirits that might follow them home. They say that if you're not careful, you... Continue Reading →

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 →
Since Axis of Mortality was spoiled, a lot of brewers online and offline have tried to make it work as a fringe win condition. The problem with Axis of Mortality is that you can't win the turn you play it. Therefore it gives your opponent a turn sequence that will disrupt your plans, or kill... Continue Reading →
When I was still playing EDH quite competitively with my playgroup, I used Sakashima, the Imposter as my commander and played all the "control magic' spells available to blue at that time. I didn't run so much creatures to blank their removals and instead chose to gain control of their threats, or copy them. Funny... Continue Reading →
