Emperor Multiplayer Week: The Winner, And Next Week's Contest!
Pity Edd Black. He's written some very funny articles, and has been in second place every week he's written.... but somehow he always gets edged out. In this case, he had a darned fine Star Wars-related article on Emperor Multiplayer that was a lock... right up until he got knocked out at the last minute by the "How-did-he-think-of-that" hysteria of using Topsy Turvy to reverse the turn sequence and go infinite in Emperor. Workable? Maybe. Funny enough to be worth $20? Yes.
Don't worry, Edd. Your day is coming.
Though the entries were few and far between this week, next week oughtta get your blood boiling:
The Most Creative Saviors Of Kamigawa Combo.
That's right; develop a deck (and an article explaining the deck, of course) based around at least one Saviors of Kamigawa card. It doesn't have to be an infinite combo - just some weird combination of cards that wins games. The more unique the win, the better the prize, as long as it's within reasonable limits. So send your article into theferrett@starcitygames.com and you could win $20!

By now you all know that Saviors of Kamigawa is shaping up to be a mighty fine set for Constructed purposes. At least one card that I know of has already hit the $20 mark here on StarCityGames.com, and I'm sure more are to follow. But I'm not here to talk about that. No, instead it... Read more

Given the results of French Regionals and the Last-Chance Philadelphia qualifiers, it's probably safe to say mostly-Green (it's not mono-Green, so stop calling it that) is, if not Tier 1, knocking at the door. I've been testing the... Read more
