Strip Mine
- some people might accuse Wizards of a lack of originality, but I find this sort of consistency comforting; it creates familiarity and cohesiveness between sets of hundreds of cards. Let's take a look at some of the lands (and Zendikons) that Worldwake is introducing - after all, word on the street is that "land matters."

More words on theory crafting in the casual Standard environment; maintain an advantage in the face of numerous opposition.
At CaleyCo Industries, we value consumer input.
In the current standard environment,
Gargoyle Castle
is the only card of its kind: a land that gives you a creature... but you get to the point where you've got 5 other mana available, and you ask yourself - why would I want to turn my colourless land into a gargoyle artifact creature?

Where we're going we don't need....lands.
Better spellcasting for the thoughtful Planeswalker.

If you have played at Friday Night Magic since Zendikar was released you probably noticed a few things, the foremost being that your average player is not running the same casual-level deck that he would have been running just a few months ago.
2009 October 05 by Sitromis
Just a little something to get October's plight planted and set in the appropriate direction.
remember - you don't have to field a Blue card-drawing engine in order to secure card advantage. You can choose cards that stay useful even after you're played them, and you can take steps to reduce your chances of drawing cards that you don't need, and you can choose exploitable cantrips.
Quick, while there are still only 10 to judge anyway!
Yo, listen up, here's the story/About some little guys that live in a blue world

Theory crafting the Mana Curve withih the Standard Format.
If you're a default-sort-of-person, you may want to opt for Naturalize: it's hard to beat artifact/enchantment destruction at instant speed for 1G. Or is it? If you're like me, you may find yourself drawn to the other, more exotic solutions that green has to offer for artifact/enchantment removal.
Currently in Standard, there's a gang of green 3-cost landgrabbers that I find intriguing: Farhaven Elf, Civic Wayfinder (now Borderland Ranger in M10) and Fertilid. Each costs one green mana and two colourless, and each is capable of fetching a basic land - but each does it in their own way.
The optional Sideboard that can better your win condition, and why.
Tier two strategy for the Tier one metagame.
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall....
