PT Fate Reforged: 18 Match Points (6-4) or Better, By the Numbers
Based on comments from my previous article, I would like to take a more in-depth approach to Pro Tour Fate Reforged. Covering only the top eight leaves out many of other archetypes that were present over the weekend. This time, I’m going to look at all the players who earned at least 18 match points (a 6-4...

Tiny Leaders: Tips for Getting Ahead in Baby Commander
For those unaware, Tiny Leaders, which I affectionately call “Baby Commander,” is a variant of the Commander format. One still plays a singleton deck with a legendary creature acting as commander. The most significant differences are its banned and restricted list, its deck size limit (50 instead of 100), and one huge caveat: all cards must have...
Privileged Perspective 14: Loser
Magic casts a pretty wide net. I’ve met a lot of different people playing this game, with various work and education backgrounds. Magic finance, on the other hand, seems to largely attract those who have some sort of economics or business background (or like to think they do!). Perhaps this is why my perspective is...
Brainstorm Brewery #134 – Sure. I Don’t Hate It
We skipped a week. We’re really, really sorry about that. The important thing is that we’re back, and we’re in your face with so much value that you’ll need to buy a spare trade binder to hold all of it. You’ll be like that dude trying to hold too many limes, but instead of limes,...

Conjured Currency #50: Artificial Spikes
Pro Tour Fate Reforged happened. While I know it was just last week, I don’t really want to talk about it. Well, I’m probably still going to talk about it, but I don’t want to do an identical analysis to what’s already out there. There will be several other articles out there for you to read that recap...
Casually Infinite – About the MTGO Closed Beta with Chris Kiritz, MTGO Business Manager
In early December, Wizards of the Coast posted that it will be moving forward with leagues on Magic Online and began testing them during December in the closed beta environment. Along with this, the company posted the link to sign up for the closed beta. If you haven’t applied for it yet, you should do so here....
Weekend Magic: 2/6-2/8 (PT Fate Reforged Edition)
Hey, guys, I’ve got some sweet Modern action to cover this week based on the results that have come in from Pro Tour Fate Reforged. Let’s take a look at the standings, what cards were featured in some of the best-performing decks, and if there are any undervalued pieces left after all the spikes and...
Episode 74 – Everything is Zen
Pro Tour Fate Reforged just happened…that’s a lot of Siege Rhinos. We talk the Pro Tour, our weeks, and the announcement of the new core set, Magic Origins. Obviously, this means Black Lotus will be reprinted. We examine the card Metal Worker, and 5.4% of this podcast is dedicated to ’90s post-grunge music. Thank you...
Pitt Imps Podcast #105 Very Limited
This week on the cast, we got to go over two Limited GPs. These are the first ones since Fate Reforged was released and there is plenty that we can take from them. Wizards announced a new policy that effects more than likely nobody you know. If you do know people that it effects, the number is ...

The Zoo is Dead, Long Live The Zoo!
After falling short of top eight at a Modern IQ/PPTQ that I played in recently, I was itching to play some more Magic. Luckily, SCG Philly was right around the corner. I was still up in the air about what I should play for the Sunday Premier IQs: either Constellation in Standard or some form of Zoo in...
Privileged Perspective 13: Beginning to Look to the Future
Sometimes it is difficult to get the writing process started, and other times the words flow out as if someone else already did everything for me. There are weeks, like this one, where I have fragments of the piece I wish to assemble, but they are adrift of each other and devoid of interlocking context....
