What is in a card? A lot more than you might think, that's for sure! Today, I look at the design of the cards and break down how it works, why, and some improvements that could be made.
This week, I have a video of gameplay footage regarding my full 100 card Genghis Frog deck! Watch and stay for the bonus match were someone plays badly!
With Standard Brawl out of the way, let's see what can be included to turn last week's Genghis Brawl deck into a Historical Brawl deck - and what Commander itself might offer it.
Video! Video! Almost an hour of me playing Arena to test out my deck! Come on in and watch!
It's that time of year again! I build a Brawl deck for Arena to support the format and then as the weeks go by, I show off how it works and how it can be expanded into a Commander deck! This year's winner? One of the Ninja Turtle's rivals!
You have no idea how much I effort I went through to avoid titling this blog post as 'Reid the Cards', but we might as well accept the missed opportunity and look at just what Vivien Reid actually does!
Archer, Ranger, Ecologist. Who is Vivien Reid and what effect has she had on Magic's Story?
The story of Fiora ends today, not with the bang of the Phyrexian Invasion, but with the knowledge that there is still more to come. After all, who knows where they will end up now that the Omenpaths are open?
The High City of Paliano has seen a lot in it days. Some days seem like years, and some years like days. Sadly, with the undead rule of King Brago, other players come into play to try and restore the right way of things. And maybe even succeed!
Conspiracy was a fun set, but was hampered by the format it was intended for. Which meant that quite a few people missed out on the actually intriguing story and plot that was happening behind the cards. Today, I start to unpack that for everyone.
Lands and the mana bases have always been an open-ended problem for the game. But what if someone solved it? Could it be back-ported into Magic? And how would it work?
Gods were sight unseen in Magic for quite a long time, but thankfully that has changed. Today, I go over the creature type and look at what makes them tick and what themes they tend to have across the sets and years.
Building a Deck is hard! Anyone who tells you it's easy is foolish! But that won't stop me from helping you with this fundamental primer in deck construction.

When building a deck, I talked last week about finding something to build around. Well, now I talk about the next step. taking what you have, and creating a framework to make it work!
