With CawBlade in its recent incarnations gone the metagame is seemingly wide open.  Any number of archetypes can claim to be the new top dog, and the viability of many cards goes up without the fear of a Jace making them irrelevant or a turn three Batterskull attacking too quickly for them to come online.  Until some tournament results come in to fill in the gaps any talk about the new metagame will be little more than an educated guess, but we can still know questions need to be answered.

Corbin Hosler takes a look at the metagame post-Valakut and has some hot new cards to watch out for as the metagame evolves in the coming months, as well as provides the weekly update of the Prediction Tracker!

Strategies for making moves in a post-Jace/Stoneforge Standard. Explore all the possibilities.

This week Stephen goes through how to keep value on your remaining Jace’s, and what cards to be on the look our for in the coming weeks.

Sometimes, decks have a pretty solid theme and plan. When you’re building the Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician deck you know it’s going to be both a burning blade of doom and gooey pile of in-your-own-face explosions. See what Carlos has been cooking with for for weeks!

Mike Lanigan discusses the impact of the cards of New Phyrexia on Standard’s Vampire archetype.

Consistent, powerful decks are obviously appealing. Carlos takes a recent Standard standout, Valakut, and transforms it into a pinnacle of efficiency in Commander! See how he does it inside!

It was not until the entire top eight had four copies of Jace the Mind Sculptor in their main deck that the talks became serious. We all knew nothing would happen then because New Phyrexia was yet to be released, in printed form at least. But now, the release has come and gone, players have adopted some new cards into their decks, and a new deck or two have made tournament appearances. So, what’s changed since then?

Corbin Hosler explains what the recent announcement of the Modern and Overextended formats means to you, and tells you what cards you can profit from in this unexplored format!

We get back to the Hunt with a all new GR aggro list developed by Kellen’s new mtg team. Fast kills are the name of the game in this deck feature.
