Brainstorm Brewery #136 – Facile Arguments
Luckily for us, we had another opportunity to debate the Reserved List. Excellent. We like nothing better than spending our time debating the merits of something that is literally never going away ever. It’s always a great expenditure of our time. We love it. We even found some time to talk about a few other...

Conjured Currency #52: Wizards Has Never Done That!
Welcome back, everyone who still reads my articles (or are just starting to read my articles!). I’d like to start out this week by clearing up a misconception that many people have about what I (and other Magic financiers) do in the community. I do not own a [card]Crystal Ball[/card]. Well, I probably do somewhere...
Weekend Magic: 2/20-2/22
This certainly wasn’t a weekend to miss. Two grands prix, along with Star City Games Open Series in Los Angeles, means there is a ton of information for us to digest. Let’s dig in and see the results. Grand Prix: Memphis (Memphis, TN – USA) Format – Standard Top 8 Decklists Jack Fogle took down...
Pauper Cube: Drafting Tips, Tricks, and Archetypes
Pauper? What does poverty have to do with Magic? If you’re new to Magic, you might not know what Pauper is. Those who know of Pauper are asking, “Why are you writing about Pauper? Isn’t that format dead?” Well, Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) no long supports MTGO Daily Events for Pauper (editor’s note: This...
Pimp My Deck: Commander 2014 – Built from Scratch (featuring Bosh, Iron Golem)
Hey, guys, sorry for the long hiatus. Between the holidays and the Fate Reforge release, I haven’t had much time to do any research for this series. But here I am, back again to bring you some Commander goodies. I won’t be including price ranges for the upgrades (it simply takes too much time for something...
Privileged Perspective 15: Challenging Perspectives
Confession: I wasn’t 100 percent sold on the name of this column when I started. I liked “Privileged Position,” but I think someone else is already using it. Privileged Perspective sounds like a Magic card name, and maybe some day it will be, but I’m worried the name doesn’t make a whole lot of sense if you...
Conjured Currency #51: From the Helvault
Have you missed out on some of the “most formidable winged warriors to ever grace the game”? Do you have an Angel-themed EDH deck? Are you trying to collect one copy of every Angel to ever be printed? If the answer to any of the above questions is “maybe,” “I guess,” or “not really,” you...
Brainstorm Brewery #135 – From The Aether
The gang is joined by self-styled financier Kyle Lopez (@itsyourboyLOPE), CEO of Aether Games. As you may have guessed, Kyle deals in Magical cards. As you may have guessed, he knows some things about it that you want to know. The gang facilitated this transfer of knowledge from his head to your head painlessly. You...

Commanding Opinion: Ghoulcaller Gisa
Ghoulcaller Gisa is definitely the better of the two zombie masters. To recap what she does: Ghoulcaller Gisa 3BB Legendary Creature – Human Wizard B, tap, Sacrifice another creature: Put X 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens onto the battlefield, where X is the sacrificed creature’s power. 3/4 I’m also a fan of her flavor text;...
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...
Pitt Imps Podcast #106 PT Fate Reforged
Obviously this is our big week. We take great pride in being the best PT coverage podcast out there, and WE ARE. The work that goes into one of these is unreal but its so worth it. PTs are the very best Magic out there being played and we try to give them justice. If you...

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...
