Ask the Judge, 10/30/2007

Rules Tip of the Day: If a Cumulative Upkeep cost is not paid, then the permanent with Cumulative Upkeep is sacrificed. Q: I have a Heartstone and a Crypt Rats in play.

At the lower end of the curve, the guys sure look anemic… but their abilities can power up some insane plays. If you’re looking for a draft strategy with both power and guile, maybe the Elementals are for you…

Deconstructing Constructed - Faeries: The Reckoning

By: Josh Silvestri on 10/30/2007

At California States, I’d say there was a hefty chunk of Blue decks complimented by a bunch of Tarmogoyf decks. At the upper tables you could see Cryptic Command being flung around in practically every other match, probably more during the later rounds. A huge number of Teachings and Pickles decks were hanging around the top twenty tables or so, many of which looked like the TSP Block Pickles decks but with Cryptic kicked in…

Removed From Game - Sprint For The Title

By: Rich Hagon on 10/30/2007

424 competitors, and the results mean something different for everyone. 177th can mean Level 3 for next year, 17th can mean falling out of contention for Player of the Year. Let Rich Hagon be your guide round the men and math of Pro Tour: Valencia, including his inimitable explanation for the non-victory of Dredge, your very own Andre Mueller Home Impressions Kit, and more!

Casual Crusader: Patron of the Orochi

By: Memnarch_V on May 27th, 2006 at 2:19 PM

Multiplayer Magic is one of the most fun things ever, and I’ve noticed a distinct lack of zest for the MTGZone multiplayer scene. This article will use my natural and ridiculous version of deckbuilding and creativity to make people think about multiplayer in a new way.
