Pitt Imps Podcast #73 – French Canada Invades
This week we go over SCG Providence and a bunch of small news items. Then this French Canadian comes on and tries to drive a rift between myself and Ryan. To be honest, he did a good job of it. Martin Brunet brings his Ban or Unban segment to the show and it was very...

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...
The Spike Feed 41 – Pillaging Merfolk
This week, Cameron dodges Conspiracy, Curtis gives his PTQ report, and Dustin forgets that we’re a PG-13 podcast when talking about Magic Online. Even more concerning, Dustin woke up early, shaved, and combed his hair to be on this week’s show. Thank you for your honor. Your host: Dustin Gore Cameron McCoy – @Cameron_McCoy Curtis...

Ginger Journey #3 – Grand Prix Atlanta
The professor walks in on the first day of classes with a gleaming smile that could make your stomach turn to knots. There’s no way someone can be that happy. It’s the first day of MTG Appreciation 2100 [Ed. note: this explains why he’s so happy]. As an introduction, Professor Brightflame feels we should take turns...

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=videoseries?list=PLs4gxqbLAAD5bqyn6vroWK-yjZRSEO3J7&w=640&h=360] Divine Favor This week I’m pleased to welcome my good friend Jan (pronounced “Yawn,” he’s a dude) to the show to help take me through an MTGO Cube draft!

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. [deck title=B/g Devotion, Andrew Tenjum, 1st Place, SCG Open Cincinatti]...

Conjured Currency #16: “Lik Dis If U Buy Evertim”
About Last Week Welcome back, readers! Well, hopefully I still have a readerbase after last week’s article. If you’ll read last week’s Reddit thread for the article, you’ll see that several people brought up very valid arguments against my theory, and slapped me with some issues that I had left out. It’s enough for me to...
Unified Theory of Commander: Mana Follow-Up
I advised my readers in my previous article that acquiring mana was a big deal in Commander. As it turns out, it’s such a big deal that I wasn’t able to contain it all in one post. After we published the first piece, so many comments, questions, and (gasp!) criticisms came pouring in that I felt like...
