I have been drafting triple Alara Reborn since it was released online and have developed a strategy that has been blowing other decks out of the water left and right: Aggro Jund Cascade.

Free Spell mechanics have a legacy not only of being broken, but of being unexpectedly broken, so there was still a lot of hope that Cascade would live up to its forbearers.

As someone who has lived in Kyoto for several months now, I thought it might be helpful to write a basic guide for the people who are going to the PT. The guide covers transportation, some basic advice, and recommendations (for food, drinking, recreation, sightseeing), and contains some basic Japanese phrases and words at the end.

The new MagicTheGathering.com is cryptic and unnavigable. The primary pillar of Good Gamery is charity, and so we have created the MagicTheGathering.com Decoder. You can access it by typing mtg.goodgamery.com into your web browser. The Decoder has hotlinks to all your favorite spots within MagicTheGathering.com without having to find your way there manually, which would likely result in being lost and trapped there for all time.

The problem with this so-called Plutonic ideal of a Magic player is that it’s completely inaccurate. Though this disparaging image of Magic players proves somewhat true at the PTQ level — at large-scale tournaments (like, for example, Nationals) nary a smelly dude can be found. But why is that? Why the stark dichotomy between the top-level players and those below that? How can it be that the better players are consistently better kept?

All-in all, it’s a pretty good tournament for me, and playtesting paid off in spades, giving me 2 pro points, and 400 dollars. If I had won one more match, I would have qualified for hollywood, but this is not too bad of a performance for my 3rd GP ever.

So Badlands is the new official map for TF2, by Steam. I’ve not played it yet, so I thought I’d do a little review type thing. The information available on the internets claims Badlands is a control point map, similar to Granary. Great. Granary sucks.
