B/W Constellation (Standard)

*Sigh* I know, I know…it’s been since October since we’ve posted a deck list. Well, I’m here to rectify that problem right now with my very first Standard deck: Black and White Constellation. Pause. Yes, I said my very first Standard deck. In the past, we have been exclusively Modern/Legacy players but have just discovered […]

How to Play Your Dragons (of Tarkir)?

(Editor’s Note: Ultimately, I had to decide not to bring the boys to a prerelease because Liam isn’t feeling well, but I’m interested in in what everyone thinks about this.) With the last set in the Tarkir block imminent and big changes on the horizon for the game, I wanted to do a preview article

Overdose on Cardboard Crack

(Editor’s Note: I know that I’ve been heavy on the Magic articles lately, but this is an exciting time for the game right now. I will do something on Diablo III on Friday to prepare for the podcast next week.) As most of you already know, Pax East was this past weekend in Boston. Since

Majorly Modern Magic

(Editor’s Note: I challenge you to find a Magic card that is more fun to say out loud than “Tarmogoyf”.) StarCityGames.com held their first Modern Open Tournament this past weekend in Baltimore. I watched nearly every (maybe every) featured match on their Twitch stream. I kept chat open. For the most part, I’m glad that

Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt!

(Editor’s Note: ‘NERDS!)

Breaking New Ground: Heroclix

  One of the most important things that we have learned from producing our podcast and writing for this website is that it really forces us to expand our gaming horizons. Let ‘s be honest, we can ‘t just write about Xbox and Magic the Gathering all of the time. That would be boring as

Tempting Fate

(Editor’s Note: Stay tuned for a more in depth look at the set in next month’s episode of the podcast. For now, I just wanted to catch up after a busy holiday season and give a first impression of Fate Reforged.) I have been keeping an eye on spoilers as they’ve been revealed and Chris

RIP WoW: TCG

(Editor’s Note: This is the same editor’s note as on the main page. I had been working 3 jobs and had precious little time to devote to the pages. However, two of those jobs are on winter break, so I have more time and will be updating the pages on a more regular basis.) (2nd

Gotta Draft ’em All

(Author’s Note: Apologies for the weeks of no communication. I’m still trying to figure out a writing schedule with my new job. Hopefully, things return to normal soon.) Liam’s birthday–number 10, which is considered a big one–was this past weekend. He wanted to have a sleepover with a Pokemon theme. That gave me an idea.
