Type 4 Limited Infinity Week: The Winners, And Next Week's Challenge!
The problem with the Casual Challenge is that sometimes, you face tough choices. For this week's Type Four: Limited Infinity challenge, we had several articles, each good in their own way. Andrew Farias brought up some excellent issues with Type 4 rules, whereas David Kleppinger wrote an excellent introduction to Type 4. However, in the end I'm going to have to give it to Andrew Lubich's Ten Cards You're Not Playing With In Your Type 4 Stack (But You Should Be) for sheer creativity it wasn't the most strategic of articles, but the cards he chose were consistently geared for a more interesting game. Thus, Andrew takes the prize in a squeaker!
Since we were discussing a format with infinite mana last week, this next week's challenge will feature infinite cards or at least 250 of them. Next week's Casual Challenge?
5-Color Magic.
That's right win $20 for your best writing on the all-color format! We've had a dry spell on good 5-color articles, so send them in and win the prize!

Type 4: Limited Infinity is awesome. However, after having played it for about a year with the same group, even Limited Infinity gets a bit stale. Everyone in our group has a style that works for him, and while tactics change slightly from draft to draft, the general strategy does... Read more
