Have you ever looked at your Magic: The Gathering collection and thought to yourself, “Gee, I only have one copy of each of these Legacy staples! I wish I had enough to build a full deck!” Well, I have a solution for you! I want to take a moment to champion a Magic format that has quickly become my ideal …
Welcome back to Let’s Brew: a weekly deckbuilding mini-series exploring legendary creatures from Commander 2017. We’ve already given Nazahn some toys to play with and assembled a legion of Licia’s soldiers, and today, we’re going to build a home for one of C17’s most colorful legends: O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami. WHY O-KAGACHI? Any one reason will do, but we have a …
In May of 1997, there was a new set being released for my favorite game. It was Weatherlight, the set that would kick off a new, ongoing narrative in Magic‘s storyline, and I was super excited. As it happens, I was on vacation with my friend in Hawaii at the time, and one of the things we wanted to do while we …

As Magic has grown in popularity, we have become increasingly …

Deckbuilding, for me, is a struggle between crafting both great gameplay and compelling narrative. Having built upwards of 200 different decks, this task can be frustrating, as it is not just about being creative, but also about doing something different – something that will not only surprise and challenge my friends, but also to keep me wanting to improve on …
About ten years ago, my friends and I heard tell of a new way to play Magic. The stories told of a huge pile of unsleeved cards that every player in the game would draw from, and that any spell could be cast as if its controller had infinite mana. This was the beginning of my life with what I …
It’s Battle Deck Day once again, and we have three more must-have decks to tell you about! First up is Day of Doom, which is not your average red-white deck. Our in-house deck designers went all-in on Imminent Doom, an enchantment from Hour of Devastation with the power to decimate your opponent and any creatures they have on hand. This …
