Annoying Cards Week: The Winner, And Next Week's Challenge!
The Top Three Most Annoying Cards didn't get quite the response that I thought it would, but the results were pleasantly varied. This was the strongest week yet, where almost every article would have been a winner in a slower week…. but the most amusing was an underlooked gem by Corneel Coens - The Pity. The Argument. The Chance. The Bookkeeping. The No. – that outlined not three, but five of the most annoying card types in Magic. And he wrote it so well that we don't mind that he broke the rules. So Corneel wins the $20 for this week!
What's next week? Well, we have April First coming up, so the challenge is going to be a little different:
April Fools Decks.
What's an "April Fools Deck"? Well, for our purposes we're going to define it as "a deck that does something your opponents didn't think it was going to." It could be a deck that looks like Affinity but turns into control, it could be a deck that looks like crap but explodes into infinity when its innocuous pieces come together, or it could be a deck that suckers your opponents into making a critical mistake. Better yet, come up with a better definition of an April Fools' Deck.
Do that, and you could win $20 in this week's Casual Challenge! Send your submission to theferrett@starcitygames.com!

I'm a big fan of customization. There's never only a single "correct build" of a deck. There may be wrong builds, and there are certainly wrong decks, but perfect builds are, like emotion on Keanu Reeves' face, either mythical or... Read more

At this point I'm certain we don't need to explain Sealed Revealed and Craig Stevenson to you. Either you love the balding Scouser and think he's the cat's pajamas or you think he's pure bollocks. Today's card pool was a... Read more

None of the cards in Portal are format-shattering; the problem is that the quantity of tutors is reaching critical mass. I define "critical mass" as having enough... Read more

Top three most annoying cards or strategies in Magic? Well, I bet people are going to bring up countermagic, mana denial, control magic, broken cards, and all sorts of things that are either not fun or not fair. That's not the route I'm going. There's a card that attracts the wrong... Read more
