Conjured Currency #17: Bulk What?
The Magic community has a lot of different definitions for the word bulk.

Bulk commons and uncommons are generally sold...

Command Theory: Power Without Gameplay
It’s not that I’m a pessimist. It’s true that I recommend you mulligan like one when you play Commander, but I’m actually a positive person in general. I look forward to every new Magic set release. I pay attention to spoilers and get excited about cards that might fit into one of my EDH decks...
Immortal Constellation: A Historical Look At Standard Combo Decks
“Cast [card]Immortal Servitude[/card] for X = 3… get back my whole graveyard…triggers…kill you?” Standard is not a format renowned for combo decks. Most of the time, we see a rock-paper-scissors metagame filled with aggro-midrange-control matchups, as opposed to the aggro-combo-control matchups we read and hear about when beginning to learn “Magic theory.” However, this is...

Eyes of the Watcher: A Prophetic Sauna
Last week in Eyes of the Watcher I discussed my first card: [card]Grove of the Burnwillows[/card]. I was trying a new style of writing in an attempt to engage my readers but I did not quite succeed. These first two articles were originally together as one, discussing two cards instead of the single one,...
Metagame Breakdown, Part Uno
Currently Standard is just a big ole mess. Right now the options are endless—or so we believe. After a couple of weeks of tournaments, the metagame has been broken down and it seems you can’t just play what you want. Let me tell you why.
