Be a Better Liar In Magic the Gathering
One of the most interesting aspects of Magic is that there is a high level of hidden information. We can use that to our advantage and lie within the rules of the game. Today I walk through a few of my favorite methods to lie in the game and a deck that showcases exactly how I do it. If you want to be a better liar, pull up a chair, have a seat at the table, and let's talk games.

It's not often their first deck, but there is always a moment in which they discovered a love for the game or a complete different perspective that changed their outlook on how to play. If you have a story to share or just want to listen to ours, pull up a chair, have a seat at the table, and let...
On Banlists and Bad Experiences
Переглядів 2,3 тис.14 днів тому
Every elder Magic player has a story of when they first tried to play in a local game store and was unceremoniously crushed by a player twice their age or simply didn't find anyone willing to play with them and decided to just go home instead. We need to recognize that we are now the adults in the room and we get to decide the type of community that we foster. The recent banlist has caused a lo...
"What is Magic the Gathering?"
Переглядів 29121 день тому
In all my years of playing Magic the single most asked question I receive about the game is simply "What is Magic the Gathering?" Sometimes people want to understand why we play, sometimes they are interested in playing themselves, but every time I struggle to find a good answer. Today I want to put forward some of my thoughts on how to answer that question. If you've ever been asked and maybe ...
Commander Needs Sideboards

When you are playing commander, it can be hard to make sure your decks are on equal footing and no matter how the rule zero conversation goes, it can be a lopsided fight. Including a sideboard in your decks can help to level the playing field, adapt to a new metagame, and make adjustments from game to game reducing the need to show up with 13 different decks every week. If you have any feelings...
How to Quit Magic the Gathering

Magic the Gathering is a great game, but all things must come to an end.

Today I want to talk about how and why people quit magic and the best ways for them to close up shop. If you're thinking of putting the game down for a bit or maybe even f...

Step 1 of Abolishing The Reserved List?
Переглядів 1,4 тис.2 місяці тому
Magic the Gathering has been one of the most stable investments of the last three decades thanks at least in part to the existence of the reserved list. Today, I'd like to discuss the impact the reserved list has or hasn't had on the actual gameplay of Magic the Gathering. I am a firm believer in keeping the reserve list intact while still finding ways to produce non-competition versions of the...
What Is Component Complexity?

Magic the Gathering has been getting more complicated in recent years and I think it has a lot to do with the number of tokens, counters, and other junk that piles up on the table.
