The Case Against Power

David Schumann — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 10:00:20 +0000

Today's article subject spawned from a discussion that began in the QS Discord chat. One of our members was contemplating stepping away from the game for a while and wanted to know the best place to park his money and/or what to trade into. As expected, a lot of people immediately jumped to Power. The general […]

MTG Metagame Finance #25

Edward Eng — Tue, 25 Dec 2018 17:44:01 +0000

The holidays are in full swing and the new year is right around the corner. And as some of you may know, the stock market has been a bit shaky in the last month or so. But it seems Magic is still doing pretty well during this slightly volatile time. I think a good portion […]

Edward Eng — Fri, 14 Dec 2018 10:00:16 +0000

Ultimate Masters has hit the market and there’s already been a lot of movement. The prices of the reprints dropped as they usually do when a set first hits the market. But it seems like the prices have started to rebound a lot quicker this time around. There’s a slight possibility they could drop again […]

MTG Questions: What’s an Easy Way to Sell Bulk?

Edward Eng — Fri, 07 Dec 2018 10:00:42 +0000

This is the first article from my new series, MTG Questions. You might be familiar with the Hold ‘Em & Fold ‘Em series (rebranded as MTG Metagame Finance), which takes a tournament-oriented perspective. I decided to start this series to focus on more general aspects of MTG finance. The two series will work together, as when […]

Magic 2012 Set Review: Rares and Mythics

Joshua Justice — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 05:17:21 +0000

Note: I write set reviews from a tournament player's perspective, not a financial perspective. As such, I try to approach new set releases with a "wide net" of all the cards which might be relevant to tournament Magic, even if it's just a sideboard 1-of that will never be worth much. This will necessarily include […]

Grand Prix: Atlanta, 16th Place

Joshua Justice — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 05:20:45 +0000

My name is Joshua Justice. I'm technically a “Magic Pro” because I won a PTQ last year and made Day Two at Pro Tour: Amsterdam. In reality, I'm just a weekend grinder who's been back in the game for a little over a year, and I've had a couple of successful tournaments. This story begins two weeks before Grand Prix: Atlanta, in a comic shop called The DeeP in Huntsville, Alabama. My plan that day was to play in a Grand Prix Trial, then move to Atlanta to start my new job.

Two Heads Are Better Than One

Alex Ruggeri — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 04:50:00 +0000

Hello! My name is Alex Ruggeri, and my very first pack of Magic was from Fallen Empires. I remember afterward borrowing some cards from my brother and piecing together a bad Thrull deck. It wasn't bad because it was a Thrull deck, although that does count too; it was bad because it was poorly constructed. […]

On the Hunt – Gruuling it Out

Kellen Huber — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 04:50:51 +0000

I am an Aggro player at heart. Since this is my first article, I thought I'd start things off with an Aggro deck that seems like it can float under the radar with your current meta. It's a Green and Red Aggro deck... I was working on a similar list, but since that was put on the shelf for now, I will work within what I call a “development list phase.”

2011 Core Set Review – Red

Kelly Reid — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:31:43 +0000

Burn, baby, burn! It's time to check out how red did in the rares department with M11. The color of fire, passion, and Tom LaPille's hair got an interesting take on an old concept, a giant dragon to please the Timmys of the world, and a re-imagining of a former archetype-definer. As part of our […]
