Another great week of Magic content. I was afraid it would end up being slow, but after Monday the sites all picked up. Enjoy!
Sunday, 12/6/09
- ChannelFireball.com - Dueling for Duals - While the tournament was only meh, I found the deck and concepts LSV discusses to be quite interesting.
Monday, 12/7/2009
- Planeswalker Stronghold (blog) - Phyrexia: Past, Present and Future - A new blog I picked up a week or so ago, he put out this very interesting post about the stories of Phyrexia, and considering where the next block is going, all too interesting.
- WrongWayGoBack (blog) - Loaming Cobra - A very interesting Extended deck concept, I'm not sure solid the deck is, but the idea and list were enough to earn a bookmark.
- StarkPo - Funniest Extended Deck of All Time - Another Japanese innovation, it poses a lot of interesting ideas and is indeed rather humorous.
Tuesday, 12/8/09
- ManaNation - Puerto Rico States: A Judge's Journey to Paradise - Ben writes in about his experience judging and EDHing in Puerto Rico last weekend.
- ChannelFireball - 10 Tips for Playing Better Against Jund - Given Jund's dominance the info within is solid and all too important
- ChannelFireball - Big Creatures - Ben Rubin (hall of famer) writes for ChannelFireball drops a knowledge bomb and some true wisdom. A must read.
Wednesday, 12/9/09
- ManaNation - 221b Worldwake Street - I'm biased, it's my own writing. But the traffic stats show that it is quite popular. Even Ken Nagle himself tweeted a link to it.
- ManaNation - Magic the Classroom - Rock, Paper, Scissors - Dan Eckstein shares his ideas on the RPS kind of balance in metagames.
- StarCityGames - The Pen is Mightier than the Sword - An excellent analysis and deep review into Jund's murky depths.
Thursday, 12/10/09
- ManaNation - There are No Bad Cards - Kelly weighs in on why speculators can't afford to overlook 'bad' cards.
- StarCityGames - The Subgames of Magic - I love what Gavin V. is doing here and what he discusses. I'm not 100% on the concepts, but he's looking in a lot of the right places and drawing a lot of great conclusions.
Friday, 12/11/09
- ManaNation - Drafting with JBoots #7 - Another great draft video.
- ManaNation - Off the Beaten Path - Winter Blunderland - A fun tourney report from Sam for the Massachusetts '2009s'
- Tapped - Tapped by the Enemy - Again I'm a bit biased on this one especially as I helped Andres with some of the ideas for this week's comic. But good stuff none-the-less.
- Wizards - An Open Letter to Spike - I just really enjoyed what Tom LaPille was saying in this one, not particularly strategic, but an entertaining read.
- ChannelFireball - Exchange of Information - An excellent article from a consummate pro. I greatly enjoyed this article.
And there we have another week of awesome Magic content. A few weeks ago I published the full list of Magic sites I read, I've dropped a few and added a few others, so be sure to check in next week because I'll be providing an update to the list of Magic sites.
Stay warm!
