I apologize for the delay this week. Jetlag kicked my ass, and I had to finish the Valencia Finals for Wizards before the ‘Show could get my full attention. Stupid responsibilities. But I think the result is really good this week. Your feedback is welcome as always.
Thanks again for your support everybody, and to all the cool pros in Essen. Not a single prick among em, honest, all of them simply hardworking Magic players. Hell, Guillaume and I even lost our luggage together at the Dusseldorf airport.
Until next week when we see more Rosewater, Forsythe, and of course Kenji, this is Evan Erwin, tapping the cards at the Magic Invitational so you don’t have to.
And yes, I really did go there and include Europe to open the show.

It’s fair to say that, after the fireworks of last season, Tiago Chan has hit quite a Magical slump of late. His results have been patchy, which he... 
I like the fact that Wizards prints good stuff at the rare level. I like the fact that Tarmogoyf is $35 — not Tarmogoyf specifically, but the occasional chase rares that everyone has to have at a tournament. And you wanna...

424 competitors, and the results mean something different for everyone. 177th can mean Level 3 for next year, 17th can mean falling out of contention for Player of the Year. Let Rich Hagon be your guide round the men and math of...

Welcome back, my friends. Last week I created some decks for you using various Lorwyn cards. Today I want to follow that article, but instead of listing a bunch... 
Lorwyn cards are legal now, and it seems like no one cares. Newer sets tend to have less of an impact on Legacy rather than older sets. Future Sight brought us...
