Just a quick deck tech before I forget the list. Yesterday's G/W elves deck was a hit, getting over 200 views which generated some request to brew a B/G version. There are a couple of B/G elves list floating around the internet and I do steal with pride in an attempt to come up with... Continue Reading →
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, Welcome back! GP Brussels is now done and the top 8 couldn't have been more diverse. Chainwhirler, Nexus of Fate, Torrential, Scarab God, Chromium, Teferi, Hazoret, God-Pharoah's Gift and the other members of Tier 1 club were all represented. 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 →
Hello Alchemists, More than the card that today's article suggests, I am taking some time rebuilding many things I have left unattended due to the preparations I made for the Nationals. Alas, things have caught up to me so I need to lay low on the card slinging and focus on my home renovation, wedding... Continue Reading →
Everyone who plays commander knows how strong Doran, The Siege Tower is. Essentially a 3-mana 5/5 that can deal a bunch of damage very quickly, very early in the game is an overall good aggressive strategy. Arcades, the Strategist reeks of build-around because of this unique benefit of playing creatures with defender and win through... Continue Reading →
Nope, this isn't a movie review but I think the movie's title is apt in post-rotation standard thanks to Nicol Bolas' family joining the crew and Sarkhan coming back. In the recent MTGO 5-0 league results, we can see Nicol Bolas getting splashed in RB decks, UB TSG decks, and Grixis Energy lists. A 4-mana... Continue Reading →
