  1. I shoulda taken heed and bought up Cliques… sigh. Alas, I lack that “flea market” gene to get in on the ground floor of such enterprises.

  2. The quarterfinals included two Dark Depths decks, a Tezzerator deck, and something that looks like it crawled, bleeding, from the Anything Goes room. King Feeble’s deck includes four copies of Kitchen Finks – yet no Oran-Rief, the Vastwood. It plays a single copy of Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. It plays Sedge Sliver. Yes, the sliver that turns itself and its brethren into Sedge Trolls. It also includes Bob Maher’s iconic Dark Confidant and Tidehollow Sculler, rounding out a thoroughly unimpressive package of modestly-costed midrange beaters. This is the kind of deck that your playtesting partner builds as the sun is coming up and claims it “attacks the metagame orthogonally”. Then you slap him.

    that already wins for greatest paragraph of the year.

  4. Ha! I enjoyed that paragraph, too, but I already have my Sedge Sliver.

    Nice job on the first round of predictions. Here’s hoping that soon you will tell us all what cards to buy in anticipation of Legacy.

  5. Hey guys. Thanks, I really enjoyed that paragraph too :)

    As far as Legacy, I’m working with a few of my MTGO friends to generate a strategy. Believe you me, we’re grinding away! I’ll try to cover it in my next piece if I can.

  8. So what’s the super secret tech you were talking about; the deck you weren’t privy to share quite yet?
