Planar Choas is coming. It will shake up online Standard. While you can't buy PC online, you can start trading for - and trading away - the Time Spiral and Ravnica cards for the decks that are going to do well - and those that are going to tank.

After receiving numerous messages asking me to redo the Artifact Matrix deck, I had no choice but to give it another go. I made not one, but two decks. Even I was surprised with their success, so enjoy ^^.

Millions of words have been written about strategies for winning Magic tournaments. All of them can be boiled down to three simple rules.

One of the more interesting aspects of the Time Spiral expansion are the purple "Timeshifted" cards. These cards add an additional 121 cards to the pre-existing 301 card set. That means we will have 422 new cards shifting into Standard. That allows for a lot of new decks to make(an some old favorites to come back). To put into perspective how HUGE this change will be consider this... Every Pro Tour US and Dutch deck that made Top 8 at Nationals, and I do mean every, will lose critical components when Kamigawa shifts out. This gives us all a great opportunity to make an impression on the new scene by forging the future "decks to beat".

Here’s my list for R/W/G Firemane Control. It focuses around both global threats like Savage Twister, and recurring ones like Vitu-Ghazi, Genju of the Fields, and Searing Meditation, not to mention the cornerstone of the deck, Firemane Angel.
