Conjured Currency #23: Reviewing M15, Part 2
Welcome back to part two of my M15 set review! If you weren’t here last week, we went over my predictions of what some of the more expensive cards Magic 2015 would look like price-wise two months from now (in September). This gives everyone enough time to play around with their synergy with all of our current toys,...
Unified Theory of Commander: Card Advantage
We’ve already spilled quite a bit of digital ink discussing the first two elements of the Unified Theory of Commander: mana and draw.

Brewing with M15
Welcome back! Today we’re talking about brewing with M15. I’ll cover just some of the possibilities that the cards from Magic 2015 create, and fair warning, this will include four [card]Chord of Calling[/card] builds—sorry, I get excited when I can play with a toolbox deck. We have nine Standard and two Modern lists today, which...

Know Your Promos!
I’m kind of a snob and I seek out lots of foils and cards with specific art for my EDH decks, so knowing promos is just something I do. But I’m often surprised by the lack of card knowledge shown by a lot of other people. You can easily find yourself getting fleeced in trades...

Conjured Currency #22: Reviewing M15, Part 1
Hello, everyone, and welcome back. I don’t normally get the itch to write set reviews, but I’m once again sitting at my computer at 9:30pm.

Casually Infinite – Where’s the Money in Modern?
Six months ago, Pro Tour Valencia was on the scene and it looked like Modern cards couldn’t be any hotter. We were approaching $100 fetch lands and it looked like any Modern card was bound to spike if it saw even moderate play. Corbin has a great article about what has changed over on Quiet...
C(ube) + C(ommander) Magic Factory #9 – Disruption in EDH Part 2
Welcome back to C+C Magic Factory.
