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…
Hello Magic players! I’m a little late on this one, but here’s the Metagame report for July—and boy has M20 warped Standard. Orvhov Vampires: I hate, despise, and utterly dislike Adanto Vanguard every time it’s played. I’m not sure how it’s a fair Magic card, and the fact it triggers Knight of Ebon Legion with…
As if the MTG spoiler season didn’t already raise the hype to a fever pitch for M20, it’s now available on MTG Arena and I wanted to share my first impressions. After a few hours of playing, testing a new archetype I expect better players than I to refine, and then seeing how new cards…
For those who don’t know, E3 is the Electronic Entertainment Expo – three E’s or “E3”. It’s one of the biggest video game industry trade shows, primarily intended for consumers. This year’s E3 was sparse on big moments, but the ones it had were BIG! Here now is our round up of the best, worst…
Ready to Revive Arclight Phoenix A Lot? So, you play Standard at your local FNM, but what you really want to play is a deck that is like something out of Modern? Well, until Wizards of the Coast decides to ban Arclight Phoenix, you can do just that. For the price of playing three instants or…
Welcome back to the Metagame Report. The metagame right now feels very volatile and shifting, and there’s always seemingly a new deck popping up and wrecking people. I think that’s a good thing, but it does make it hard to predict when deck building. But, regardless, let’s look at a sample of what’s new and…
Bandersnatch: Something Old Made New Bandersnatch deserves a lot of slack, simply because it’s a technical achievement on another level and the fact it can function through a television interface is something that might become a game-changer. I’m genuinely excited to see what other creators are going to do with this technique. What sort of creations…
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! For Star Wars fans that is. It’s May the 4th! A.k.a. Star Wars Day. And we’ve got 6 Star Wars freebies for you courtesy of Bioware and Star Wars: The Old Republic. During Star Wars Celebration 2019, SWTOR and the SWTOR fan community made a big showing….
