Kitchen Table Magic: Brewing Dragons – Ojutai Advantage
Hello. My name is Dave, and I am a Magiholic. [Editor’s note: Hi, Dave!] At almost 40 years old, I still collect and play with Magic cards. My relationship with Magic began over 20 years ago in high school, but I kicked it for four years, dumping all my Alpha and Beta cards in a...
Pitt Imps Podcast #112 Back Pain
This week, the Imps have prerelease stories. Not much else really happened in competitive Magic, so its a good thing we had these. We do go over the B&R Announcement as well as the Commander rule change. Keep in mind that none of us are hardcore Commander players so I don’t think we really understood all the...

Analyzing and Deck Building: Featuring Outpost Siege
A common question people ask is: “How do I build a deck?” It’s easy to say just get one from the internet and play it tons of times to become proficient, but some people really just have a passion for making a deck themselves. In my opinion, iterative deckbuilding is the best way to build...
Brewing with Dragons of Tarkir
Welcome back for Brewing with Dragons of Tarkir! Today, I’ll go over eleven lists that I’ve come up with using some of the new cards from Dragons of Tarkir. These decks won’t have fully formed sideboards, since I don’t have time to test them all or complete knowledge of the metagame (the one exception being...
Brainstorm Brewery #140 – Judge Dread
All kinds of announcements this week and with Corbin out of commission with a debilitating migraine, it’s up to a very special guest to step in. Unfortunately, a very special guest could not be located and the gang was forced to resort to inviting Chris Lansdell (@lansdellicious) on the cast. Topics include new judge foils,...

It’s Time to Tuck the Rules Committee
This week, the EDH Rules Committee announced a change to the format that set my Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook feeds abuzz: players are no longer able to deal with pesky enemy commanders by shuffling them into the opponent’s deck. Any time an ability would cause a commander to return to a player’s hand or be...
Identity Crisis
Hey, everyone, it’s been awhile. For the past few months, I’ve been having an identity crisis with Modern. As the writer of half a dozen articles on Zoo for this very website, saying that I’m considering not playing Zoo now sounds like insanity, but I feel like I have settled down with the deck. I know...
Pitt Imps Podcast #111 GP Cleveland

Commander Spotlight: Eight Great Ways to End a Game of Commander
Most people who love Commander love it because you can play all sorts of wacky cards and sweet theme decks that you can’t play in Standard. But unfortunately, sometimes this leads to huge board stalls where nobody wants to attack anybody and the game drags on for two hours or more. To combat this, let’s go over...

Last weekend brought us Star City Games Dallas, which featured Standard as the main event with a side of Modern and Legacy. Let’s take a look at the results while also bearing in mind that Standard will yet again be shaken up by Dragons of Tarkir in just another week. We’ve got the full spoiler...
Pitt Imps Podcast #110 Mushrooms
Wow. This episode was riddled with tech problems. I almost called this episode “Train Wreck.” Anyway, I managed to make it kind of listenable. We go over everything from PAX East and the GPs, and had Judge Frank on to look closer at the mechanics of Dragon of Tarkir. I also left a bit of raw...
