April Fools' Week: The Winner, And Next Week's Challenge!
This week's April Fools' Challenge started slow, but brought in some great combos near the end of the week. Matthew Lubich's + combo was good for a laugh, as was Arjan van Houwelingen's clever use of Magical Hacker. And then on Friday, we had Andrew Lubich's amusing Nono-Green Deck, as well as Jon Maske's attempt to bring cards to life.
But I'm a sucker for Magic history and not only did Luis Almeida walk us through R&D's greatest mistakes, but he managed to meld non-erratated cards into a darned fine deck. Thus, Luis wins the $20 prize!
So what's next week's Casual Challenge?
Crap Rare Craziness.
If you've been paying attention, Abe Sargent's been picking five crap rares at random and building creative decks around them. We want you to take the most pathetic cards in Magic and turn them into killing machines... or at least funny decks. Remember, as it says in our article guidelines, "I don't want just decklists." You have to provide an explanation of how you built the deck and how it plays. Send your crap rare challenge into theferrett@starcitygames.com and try for your chance at the $20 prize!

By Jon Maske
There's a classic combo in Magic; all the judges know about it, because if you read it properly it's one of the funniest cards in all of Magic. And yet you can bring a game to a halt by playing this classic R&D misfire and one little Unhinged card. Read more
