5,018It's Friday. Pete's at GenCon, but he left us news, prices, deck tech and a long discussion of whether MTGO offers anything for a player like him. All this, just a click away.
-
5,018Pete's Internet access has been busted this week. It finally came back late this morning, so an abbreviated SotP this week. Full SotP next week, even if he has to haul his desktop set-up around the state looking for WiFi.

5,017Want to get something big, angry and expensive into play fast? Want to have 43 mana available by turn five (in Standard)? We have the technology...
-
5,016Now that we had a bunch of Kaleidoscope events, we can finally start talking about the meta. If you are interested in the format, then here you will find all the information you need to know.

5,016Frankie delves into the full Khans of Tarkir Spoiler and comes up gasping 4,000 words later. Heliod's Pilgrim in Standard? Sultai Charm in Modern? Altar of the Brood in Legacy? Where does one guy get the cheek to abuse the term "Mega Review" so frivolously? It's all covered in the article- I promise.
-
5,015Feel free to hum/sing along to some AC/DC! Boosh is back (in black) with his second article since returning to PureMTGO, and the central focal point is the color black! Join me inside as we johnny combo out with Modern decks & some classic/legacy! Enjoy the nefarious eeeeee-vil, without breaking your bank! SIX decks explored!
-
5,013The tournaments for Kaleidoscope have finally started and I'm back to share my first impressions from the newest format of MTGO. No more theories, no more predictions. I have solid facts for you this time as well as my first six tournament games' detailed report.
-
5,013Have you seen the best two pauper decks that you aren't good enough to win with? I'm not either, but some people have been putting up insane numbers with these two creations.

5,012A Commander's Eye review of the next three soon to be released sets: The new Commander Duel Decks, FTV:E and MED3.
-
5,012I made it! I'm one of the Four Horsemen of the Tribal Apocalypse! (The fourth one, with the green horse! Sweet!) And I'm in excellent company, because the Top 4 of the 2011 Invitational ended up being the highest-ranked players present. Click to find out who became the Ultimate Champion (hint: it wasn't the one that the bookmakers expected to be), and all the twists and turns of that crazy, crazy final battle. (Also: a previous event nobody cares about, and the Grudge Match!)

5,011Oraymw finishes up his evaluation of the Innistrad mechanics in limited. He provides an early approximation of what the limited format will look like, as well as plumbing the depths of mechanics like Morbid, Curses, Fight, and the Graveyard and Tribal themes, with the goal of providing readers with a head start on understanding the limited format and correctly evaluating cards as they are spoiled.

5,008Looking at the two most popular U/W builds in the formats.
-
5,008It's Friday. Time for news, prices, bugs, tech and a video. The big news this week seems to be bugs - ones that got fixed, and ones that have not. And another MTGO crash.
-
5,007Tarmotog is back with tournament data for the 100 card Singleton format.
-
5,007It's an exciting week - but Pete is buried under work for his real world job. Instead, he wrote (well in advance) this article on five ridiculously common and totally avoidable errors that cost MTGO players games, matches and packs. Failing to play around a trick is a mistake, and miclicks happen, but the five errors listed here are inexcusable.
-
5,007Wizards have been on a kick to make White and (More importantly IMHO) Boros much more playable. in War of the Spark, we got one of the coolest Boros commanders ever. But then the RC banned a key card in Paradox Engine. Can Feather still run good enough?
-
5,006This week we'll take a look at reviving an old archetype in Extended, and how it has already found success at the PTQ level in the hands of two Pro Tour Champions!
-
5,006In this article, gwyned covers the second part of his review of Theros for Standard Pauper. Which cards will be a hit in the format after rotation and which will merely be a myth? Find out after the link.
-
5,006I take a look at an innovative Abzan deck that made the Top 8 of GP Singapore. Can Abzan Charm provide a reasonable alternative to Liliana? Does Wrath of God have a home in this style of deck? I answer these questions, provide gameplay footage and announce the results of last week's poll to find PureMTGO's favourtie Magic Origins card.
-
5,005It's Friday! We have some news (a rare thing in December), including Wizards removing bugged cards form Flashback drafts, and musing about removing unpopular ones in the future. That, plus deck tech, prices and Pete sounds off on what MTGO could learn from Guild Wars - all just a click away.
-
5,005Buckle up girls and boys, this will will a doozie of an episode! Modern Horizons is upon us and there are more than just a few cards to be excited about for Pauper.
-
5,004Stronghold has arrived. I even managed to bust a playset of Crystalline Slivers in sealed events in the first week. For the first time since the 2001 Extended season, I can play Counterslivers in competitive Magic events. Question is, should I? Does the deck still work?
-
5,004It's Friday! In the paper world, Shadows over Innistrad prereleases are just hours away. Online, Wizards has announced changes to the online prerelease - and they seem great. Wizards also announced elimination of the release events - instead we go straight to Sealed leagues and normal events. Again, big win. Plus prices, news, deck tech and a tricky judge question, all just a click away.
-
5,004It's Friday! The throwback format is gone, but may return. We heard a bit more about Magic Next, which may eventually arrive. We know that Stoic Angel, Domri Rade and Griselbrand are coming - one of those matters. And we have news, prices and tech, all just a click away.

5,003Covering drafts 11-30 as the quest for 15 QP continues. Getting qualified through drafts alone isn't easy.
