Competitive Edge: Losing to Variance in Limited

January 20, 2012   Doug   1 Comment

Losing to variance sucks. There’s no better way to put it. Whether you get too many lands, or not enough, or your spells are too expensive, or you never draw your bombs, or your opponent simply gets lucky – there are just some games that you lose where you can’t do anything about it.

This is how last week’s Friday night draft went for me:

Competitive Edge: My Dark Ascension Wishlist, part 1

January 13, 2012   Doug   No comments

By the time you read this, we’ll have seen at least one week of Dark Ascension previews, but at the time of writing I’ve hardly seen any of the set. What I have seen, however, has already got me very, very excited – Gravecrawler signals a push for a zombie deck in Standard, Increasing Confusion will replace Blue Sun’s Zenith as a finisher in decks looking to win through Nephalia Drownyard, and the new mechanic Fateful Hour gives us new ways to play with Phyrexian mana (and maybe even completely break it, finally, if there’s a Fateful Hour effect powerful enough.)

Competitive Edge: Casting A Modern Eye

January 08, 2012   Doug   No comments

If you don’t know about Modern, it’s the newest non-rotating format introduced by Wizards of the Coast, includes every set from Modern onwards, and is still very, very open for exploration and experimentation.

I don’t play Modern, but I am looking at breaking into the format and starting to compete in Modern events, once I can afford to build a deck. I’ve been following the development of the format and what players are doing, and think I have a pretty good idea of what the format will look like for the upcoming PTQ season.

Hi everyone! Read these next few paragraphs carefully, because I’m only saying this once. Maybe three times. Maybe ALL OF TEH TIMEZ. I’m not sure yet.

GP Hiroshima and misc. Part 1

November 16, 2011   Anthony Hlaing   No comments

Decks are chosen on style, their place in the metagame and an assortment of other reasons. One of these will include it being your ‘pet deck’, that one thing you cannot let go and must continue to have to feel good and hope to win.

Just play CawBlade…

September 18, 2011   Anthony Hlaing   No comments

 

On second thought…not *exactly*…
It is a weird time to be one of the vocal people to have banned Stoneforge Mystic and Jace the Mind Sculptor and to yet watch it stay as one of the top dogs for the new metagame. Important proponents like Brian Kibler and Mike Flores have examined why CawBlade refuses to die and what makes a good deck “good” (another article by Paulo Vitor on “good decks” is also a good reference point as well).
