Magic the Gathering Author: Ted KnutsonTime Spiral in Constructed — Gold, Artifacts, and Land
by Ted Knutson
Published on 2006-10-09
A StarCityGames.com Premium Standard article
Put your Chamops deck to the test at the Star City $1500 Standard Open! Last week, Ted covered the cards of each color, rounding out on Friday with the hideous Green offerings. Today's installment is a lot more upbeat - the Gold shines, the artifacts are in fine working order, and the land is fertile. Indeed, some of Time Spiral's finest cards dwell in the far-left column of the deck registration sheet. Ted also adds his choices for the strongest non-Timeshifted cards in the set. Do you agree with Mr. Card Game's analysis?

[Part I: White] - [Part II: Blue] - [Part III: Black] - [Part IV: Red] - [Part V: Green]

Magic the Gathering Author: Patrick ChapinRight / Wrong - A Non-Vintage / Vintage Split Article
by Patrick Chapin
Published on 2006-10-09
A StarCityGames.com Premium Vintage article
Pat "The Innovator" Chapin dips a toe into the choppy waters of Vintage debate, outlining some interesting ideas on power-plays in Magic's most broken of formats. He tackles the ornery subject of skill in Vintage, and challenges Stephen Menendian to an interesting match. Away from Type 1, he also presents a debate on the veracity of Magic writers the world over... just how should we gauge the more "off-the-wall" deck ideas and articles?

Magic the Gathering Author: Ted KnutsonTime Spiral in Constructed — Green
by Ted Knutson
Published on 2006-10-06
A StarCityGames.com Premium Standard article
It was all going so well... and then the Green cards came along. Ted takes a long look at the red-headed stepchild of the Magic color pie, and finds it lacking. There are, however, some diamonds hidden deep in the mossy effluvia. Mr Card Game tells us where to dig for gold... plus, a bonus section by Ben "Ridiculous Hat" Goodman!

A StarCityGames.com Premium Standard article

Magic the Gathering Author: Josh RavitzReflections on Time Spiral Draft
by Josh Ravitz
Published on 2006-10-06
A StarCityGames.com Premium Time Spiral Limited article
With a few more matches under his Magical belt, Josh feels he has a fine preliminary grasp of the evolving format.

Magic the Gathering Author: Ted KnutsonTime Spiral in Constructed — Red
by Ted Knutson
Published on 2006-10-05
A StarCityGames.com Premium Standard article
After dealing with the White, Blue, and Black offerings from Time Spiral, Ted turns his attention to the Red spells. Alongside Mr Card Game's customary wit, we have one Patrick Sullivan sharing his fiery insight on the Red cards he thinks will see Constructed play. The second guest columnist, Norin the Wary, disappeared shortly before commencement of the article and is therefore unavailable for comment.

Magic the Gathering Author: Tim AtenWhite Weenie In Time Spiral Standard
by Tim Aten
Published on 2006-10-05
A StarCityGames.com Premium Standard article
Tim has his States deck figured out already. Sadly, it's not White Weenie. This article, however, concentrates on the ever-popular beatdown archetype. Where do the Time Spiral cards slot in? Is Knight of the Holy Nimbus a sufficiently fake Hand? What can we do about the loss of Isamaru? And does Griffin Guide warrant a slot in the deck? (Hint: there's a reason its initials are GG...) Looking to run with the little White guys? Then this is the article for you!

A StarCityGames.com Premium Standard article
Teddy Card Game continues his overview of the Time Spiral cards for Constructed play. Monday was White, Tuesday was Blue... and Wednesday brings the Black cards under the spotlight. Is Sengir Nosferatu direct competition for Skeletal Vampire? Will Smallpox be big? And how do you pronounce Phthisis? Click here to find out!

Magic the Gathering Author: Ted KnutsonTime Spiral in Constructed — Blue
by Ted Knutson
Published on 2006-10-03
A StarCityGames.com Premium Standard article
Ted continues his detailed examination of the Time Spiral cards, looking at their application for the coming Constructed metagame. After yesterday's article on the old workhorse White, Mr Card Game turns his gimlet eye to the color of the pros: Blue. Time Spiral harks back to the glory days of old... is Blue broken beyond repair?

Magic the Gathering Author: Nick EiselInitial Thoughts on Time Spiral
by Nick Eisel
Published on 2006-10-03
A StarCityGames.com Premium Time Spiral Limited article
After a dose of draft and a slice of Sealed deck, Nick delivers his preliminary verdict on the highs and lows of the new set. He theorizes that play skill is currently more important than deckbuilding considerations, and gives us a brief lowdown of each color's strength for triple Time Spiral draft. Nick is practicing hard for Pro Tour: Kobe... expect future articles to break the format wide open!

While a number of top players weren't particularly impressed with Coldsnap, it's safe to say that Time Spiral has got everyone's juices flowing. Josh is a big fan of the new set, and is excited about its impact on Limited play theory. This article takes a look at some of the stronger colors, cards, and ideas that are slowly emerging from Magic's most intriguing Limited format...

Magic the Gathering Author: Stephen MenendianSkill In Vintage
by Stephen Menendian
Published on 2006-09-27
A StarCityGames.com Premium Vintage article
The debate still rages... just how skillful is Magic's most broken format? Does the abundance of early-turn kills and degenerate combos lead Vintage down the path of the Lucky Man? Stephen argues that the skill factor in Vintage is high indeed... but maybe not quite the same as the skill required for other, "fairer" formats.
