Arena Doesn’t Have To Cost A Fortune I hope it’s not a controversial statement to say that you should pay the companies that produce games you like. Even if something is free-to-play, the company that made it still needs money, and if you enjoy a game, and you want that game to still exist, then…

Glitch Techs Does Not Play Slow Games Glitch Techs proves to me that the new trajectory of animated shows is high energy motion and manic dialogue. It was jarring enough in DC Super Hero Girls, but this show takes it up to eleven. During the review-watching of Glitch Techs, I had to constantly rewind to hear…
In a very different Meta Report, I’m going to only be talking about four decks today. With the results coming out of Worlds, and simply being on the higher parts of MTGA’s ladder, I can tell you that you need to be prepared for these specific four decks—or you will lose to them. Azorius Control:…
Pre-Theros release, the Magic meta isn’t likely to do anything too jarring, but the newest Mythic Championship definitely cemented a few decks and even brought back ramp as a viable strategy. So, let’s go through six of them and see what’s kicking around in Standard. Simic Ramp: It seems like green and blue have become…
Temur Reclamation has been my pet deck this standard, and I’ve been playing it to moderate success. But the meta eventually left the deck behind. However, I still think it’s worth considering. It just needs a new focus, a new coat of paint. Some people went the midrange route—I’ve gone the opposite. Behold! Temur Hard…
Post-Oko ban, the Standard meta utterly opened up and the deck strategies that were viable expanded a ton. There’s a good variety of decks to explore this month, so, let’s go through them all. Azorius Control: Hey, look, an actual control deck is alive and kicking. With no Veil of Summer to make a lot…
We Have An Actually Good Sonic Trailer The original Sonic trailer was truly awful, ugly, and annoying. It looked much like the Woody Woodpecker travesty that was inflicted on the viewing public. And it was all set to be just another cash grab of failure for the internet to make fun of—me included. But then the…
While I may have procrastinated this Magic meta report until the very last minute of October, with the recent ban of Field of the Dead, the meta shifted right at the end of the month anyway, so it was rather fortuitous. Golos decks in every color combination dominated the meta and could not be stopped…
Some more cards are yet to be released, but as of the 19th, I thought I’d explore some of the more impressive and likely to be influential cards from Throne of Eldraine for Standard (and Commander/Brawl). Now, obviously, I’m not a pro-player, so take this with salt, but I’ve been around the block enough that…
Though it feels too quick to have come already, we are in Spoiler Season 2019 for Throne of Eldraine, and I wanted to give a few first impressions about how it’s going since the new Brawl update dropped. Impression Number One: Adventure Is A Sweet But Problematic Mechanic When I first saw it, I thought…
So, surprisingly, the meta seems to have stagnated at the upper echelons. The reemergence of a few archetypes is really the only notable thing happening. However, among tier two, a lot of interesting stuff is happening, and I wanted to sprinkle some of that in this month. Cavalcade Red: If your opponent stumbles on removal…
