As expected, a lot of people immediately jumped to Power. The general […]

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 […]

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. What is announced there could have major ramifications for investing on MTGO, and so I've been very […]

Guildpact is the second set in Ravnica block, bringing us The Orzhov, Izzet and Gruul guilds. Or, if you prefer, the B/W, U/R and R/G color combinations. It was a fine set, especially because it deeply explored B/W. Guildpact brought the guilds' shocklands, along with a few other money cards. Let's take a look at Ravnica Block's second set this week!

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.”
