Fighting Back Against Persecution in Magic
This is a guest post from Mark Nestico Jr. and was not written by Denis Stranjak.

Brainstorm Brewery #189 – Modern Banhammer
I’d like to go more in depth with the show notes, but literally we only talked about Modern bans. We did Pick of the Week early, but we didn’t want that out there too much because we didn’t want people shutting the podcast off after they extracted our tasty knowledge morsels. That’s why we put...

Ruric Thar Brings It Back To Reality
Sometimes, when things get a bit too ridiculous, a bit too unfair, one needs a return to the basics. A simpler time. A time when we just played sweet creatures and theme decks, with no wrath effects or busted artifacts. [card]Shivan Dragon[/card]s and [card]Craw Wurm[/card]s everywhere.

Mono Brew #2 – Ignoring Reality
It’s been a few months since the first edition of Mono Brew, which I ended with the promise that my next article would be a primer on my Modern pet deck, “Bringing Gifts” (five color [card]Gifts Ungiven[/card] with [card]Bring to Light[/card]). Much has changed in the world of Magic since then, as the release of Oath of the Gatewatch turned Modern season into “Eldrazi Winter”. I’m sure that most of...
