5 Dominaria Cards You Need to Watch Out For

If you’re looking for more of a sure thing out of Dominaria, I’ve listed five cards from the new set that are definitely going to see some serious play over the next few months – if not until the Fall 2019 rotation.

The Brewer’s Circle

While I have learned a great many things while playing Magic, the most important takeaway is that it is completely ok to just play the best deck

Calculating the Cost

Andy understands that no one is made of money. So come see how simple it is to break into one of Magic’s greatest formats! Don’t forget to comment on your own experience getting to the Pro Tour.

Modern Deck Breakdown: Jeskai Control

I think that pure control is one of the most fun and rewarding decks that you can play, and right now the metagame may be a little soft to control. See what Andy is talking about in this week’s Mastering Modern

Modern Deck Breakdown: Delver

The Delver deck has picked up a lot of steam with the KTK release. See why Andy thinks it is the best deck in Modern and how to beat it!

Modern Deck Breakdown: Mono Red Burn

Red Deck Wins has been a part of almost every format at some point or another, and Modern is no different. Come see Andy’s take on this fine archetype and take it to a modern tournament near you!

Modern Deck Breakdown: Splinter Twin

Tempo-Twin is an intricate deck that aims to combine Splinter Twin with either Deceiver Exarch or Pestermite. When the deck is not winning with the combo it uses Young Pyromancer to play offense alongside all the elemental tokens he makes. See the ins and outs of this deck and take it to an FNM near you!

Modern Deck Breakdown: Jeskai Ascendancy Combo

If you have heard anything about anything in modern recently, it has been about the Jeskai Ascendancy deck, and rightfully so. See what Andy has to say about this enticing new deck!

Introductions are in Order

I am very excited to have the opportunity to write articles and make videos for this growing website. I have been playing the Modern format since its inception, and I can say with absolute certainty that it is my favorite format by far.

Understanding & Breaking Down Mana-Base

I am going to take a look at mana bases as it pertains to legacy but with the re introduction to fetchlands into standard. Some of this will apply. The specific list i am going to us in question is my current Team Italia list(BWR) its a BW mid range list that splash’s Red for Value.

September Experiment – Day 30

September Experiment – Day 29

September Experiment – Day 28

September Experiment – Day 27

If you are drafting artifact matters cards, don’t forget to pick up a few artifacts.

September Experiment – Day 26

Green / White.

September Experiment – Day 25

Seraph of the Masses and tokens is the name of the game today.

September Experiment – Day 24

September Experiment – Day 23

September Experiment – Day 22

Black/Red – Light on creatures, heavy on removal. I hope my strong spells do the trick and carry the deck to victory.

September Experiment – Day 21

Kind of all over the place today. But a sweet archangel should help get the job down, if all the control can keep me alive long enough.

September Experiment – Day 20

White was handed to me because my first picks were all white. I love how the deck came together afterwards.

September Experiment – Day 19

No direction after pack 1 but Stormtide Leviathan showed up to give me hope.

September Experiment – Day 18

Indulgent Tormentor + Burning Anger set me down the Black/Red path.

September Experiment – Day 17

Phytotitan is big but fragile and has a funky ability. What do you make of it? Check out today’s practice deck.

September Experiment – Day 16

Blue/Black control can bring home the bacon. This is my first attempt at drafting it so come tell me what you think.

September Experiment – Day 15

Today’s real draft went sideways when I got distracted with an off color Planeswalker. What would you have done?

September Experiment – Day 14

Tokens anyone?

Perhaps 5 Raise the Alarms is a bit much but I still wish this was a real draft so I could see how it plays out.

September Experiment – Day 13

My first pick was Jorubai Murk Lurker and my second was Caustic Tar. From that point I decided to do Black/Blue control.

My thought was to control until I can draw the Caustic Tar as my win condition.

September Experiment – Day 12

September Experiment – Day 11

Jalira, Master Polymorphist keeps popping up.

She was my first pick in today’s practice draft and I tried to craft a deck with cheap creatures to use as fodder and some bigger creatures worth mophing into.

September Experiment – Day 10

Today’s practice deck came together nicely.

It was pretty clear before pack one ended that I would be Green/White. My second pick was a Triplicate Spirits and I scoured a couple Dauntless River Marshals as well.

After pack one though it was clear I needed cheaper creatures. So I hunted those out and was rewarded in pack two.

September Experiment – Day 9

the living guildpact I never really felt like today’s deck came together. I feel I ended up with a pile of good cards that lacked synergy. This is one of my biggest weaknesses and the one I am trying to overcome most.

In pack three I first picked a Jace, the Living Guildpact and second picked Jalira, Master Polymorphist. At that point I decided to get as much blue as I could.

September Experiment – Day 8

September Experiment – Day 7

Ob Nixilis, Unshackled was my first pick. I figured he’d be a good win condition so the rest of my picks were centered around him.

See what I did to support him here.

September Experiment – Day 6

Today lacked a clear win condition. I didn’t draft any crazy cool bombs and am concerned with the power level of my deck.

September Experiment – Day 5

I first picked a Hornet Nest and immediately decided I wanted Green/Red to take advantage of direct damage to the Hornet Nest. The idea of instant speed, flying deathtouchers is very appealing.

The September Experiment – Day 4

mind sculpt So today’s practice draft did not go as well as planned.

On pack one pick one I grabbed a Mind Sculpt. My thought process was, “if I get a Mind Sculpt in the first pack I can get a whole bunch as the draft goes on and just go straight mill. Furthermore, this is a practice draft so why the heck not?” I was hoping for 4 or 5 Mind Sculpts.
