Getting LUCKy: Slowing Your Roll
Newton’s First Law of Motion states, “An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.” At two separate parts in my financing “career,” I have slowed buying cards in order to catch up on other things. The second time this happened, I had a lot of unexpected expenses come up and had just...
C(ube) + C(ommander) Magic Factory #8: Disruption in EDH, Part 1
Play more spot removal. Play less spot removal. Play enchantment removal, some of which must exile or tuck. Play counters. Play mana ramp. Play wraths. Play enough threats. Don’t dilute your game plan. Play artifact removal. Play board wipes. Play enough lands (seriously, play enough lands.) Deckbuilding mantras for EDH come at us constantly. If we...

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=videoseries?list=PLs4gxqbLAAD5XqEP7eLdk_UliPFAkct5e&w=640&h=360] Cube’s Back! Everyone’s favorite online format, the MTGO cube, is back online!

Brainstorm Brewery #99.9 – One Last Tease
It’s a lot harder to put together a clip show than you think. Listeners who were late turning in their episode summaries breathed a sigh of relief as the deadline was extended. Episode #100 is going to be even better than anticipated as the gang goes into the tank to work on it. They took...

Conjured Currency #15: More Words on the Internet About Fetch Land Reprints
“Now let’s talk about the fetch lands. Can we talk about the fetch lands, please, Mac? I’ve been dying to talk about the fetch land reprints with you all day, okay?” –Every Modern and Legacy player ever Last week, I casually mentioned my own personal thoughts on Twitter about the subject of if and when...
Unified Theory of Commander: Mana
Playing the biggest, splashiest, and most ridiculous spells in Magic is one of Commander’s best selling points. EDH isn’t called “Battlecruiser Magic” for nothing. But these format-defining spells won’t ever create incredible moments of gameplay if you don’t have the mana necessary to cast them. Having your favorite cards stuck in hand is no fun....

Playing Magic for Free #1: Catching the Cardboard Bug
When a newborn Magic players opens her eyes for the first time, it’s difficult to not be overwhelmed with the price others will pay for multicolored cardboard. If you read the title to this three-part mini-series, it’s obvious I’m not here to justify card prices or imply the financial requirement to play this game. I’m actually...
