Hello All, Anointed Procession decks are now seeing less and less play - moving to the higher performing GPG decks. With the rise of enchantment-based hate like Ixalan's Binding and Cast Out the combo pieces are getting harder and harder to pull off. This got me thinking of making a more direct approach to tokens... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I was able to play my Abzan GPG for the first time and it proved to be very interesting and modestly powerful. The matchup I was up against after 4 rounds were Big Red, Abzan Tokens, RG Beatdown, and Sultai Energy. The Big Red match up was very difficult in both games. He had... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone, To those who kept visiting the page but couldn't see any new content, I apologize. It's been quite busy at work since we're approaching the end of the year. However I stumbled upon a brew that looks exciting and interesting. This brew was triggered by my friend borrowing my Chandra, Torch of Defiance... Continue Reading →
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. With the rotation of Ob Nixilis Reignited, Gideon, Ally of Zendikar and Nissa, Voice of Zendikar, the variety of Planeswalkers you... Continue Reading →
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 →
