A Modern Merfolk Primer from Fish’s Biggest Fan
It’s not a secret to anyone who knows me that I love Merfolk. Or that anyone who may have heard me say anything in passing knows that I love Merfolk. Or that anyone who has ever had a single limited interaction with me knows I love Merfolk. I have a good reason, after all. I’ve...

Investing 203: Marcel vs. Jason, Round 1
“William has already made us $15k. Cool, you want me to break something else?” “Do you think it will work? It would take a miracle.” “When will then be now? Soon!” Timing is everything in investing.

Casually Infinite – Understanding EV, Part 1
My editor says that articles are best at around 1500 words. My problem is that I’m a teacher. I teach sixth through twelfth grade students.

Post Modern
I love Modern because of all the value. Even though Modern is a format where everything is subject to reprint, in addition to the likely release of more Modern Masters sets, the prices of staples are still low. In the year 2013, [card]Splinter Twin[/card] doubled in the U.S. shortly after doubling in Europe; [card]Chord of Calling[/card],...
The Financial Five: Multicolored Devotion
I know what you might be thinking. Why talk about multicolored creatures in regard to devotion? High devotion needs to be built up in the first three of four turns, right? You’re not wrong. All that extra mana can enable a hand-barf, but why not play a powerful creatures earlier than intended? Even better, what...
