Welcome back, folks. It's been a while since I last wrote an article, in large part because I've been unwilling to make any financial moves on MTGO before reading the December 6th announcement about competitive play on Arena.

Hello, everybody and welcome to a new week of the Daily Stock Watch! Standard cards are starting to move in the wake of new brews with cards from Guild of Ravnica, and we're all but ready to see which deck will be the new Black Red Midrange (arguably the best deck from last season) of […]

If you read my EDH column on Gathering Magic, you'll know I have a tendency toward Blue Green in EDH. It's my personal favorite color combination and I feel like it gives me the mix of card draw and ramp that can make games truly unfair very quickly. Maelstrom Wanderer and Riku of two Reflections […]
