In this week's instalment of Canadien Bacon, we are going to continue talking about “Rogue Decks” of 1st Edition. We're switching gears and playing the aggro game.
What would you get if you crossed one of the best tactics in the game with a 2/2/3 Warrior Prodigy and threw in the ability to have the card replace itself? How will your opponent deal with this soldier?
The GenCon 13k was the last event for the 1st Edition Constructed format, and it was the place I decided to unveil the deck I had been testing for a few weeks, right after the New York Headliner...Solar Spoils.
What possible impact can having non-staple resources with two threshold provided on one card do to the game? How does one even go about finding the four cards in the deck?
Our [Draft Simulator] results are in, and we have a TON of information here to digest. What are the top characters? The top tactics? Find out with the latest picks...
In the next month we are likely to see many more mono-styled decks, and with this article and several more in a series to come we will explore how mono-decks have been coming into fruition....
The opening hand is the foundation for the most critical turns of a game. If a player has drawn the perfect hand, then they are prepared to accelerate into the best possible scenario for their deck....
Today, I will take a look at the various ways that a player, new and old, may be able to qualify for the Championship Cruise within this sea of new competition....
Today I'm reviewing the troublesome Banker trade. They'll stall you out and draw their decks out, and now they'll be subjected to the magnifying glass.
The first Invitational season has run it's course. At least 21 new names will be entered into the ranks of the cruise bound thanks to scoring 50 points for 1st place at the event in their area. Amongst those names will be my own and I look forward to meeting up with the rest of you on the boat.
The Spoils stands up as a casual game you can play with your friends, but where it really shines is in it's competitive atmosphere, dubbed by Tenacious Games as "The Tournament Experience". Since its launch in 2006, The Spoils has earmarked $1,000,000 in cash and hundreds of prizes, all up for grabs.
Joe Date has won the Denver, CO Invitational, and friend of the site, William M., sent in the Top 16 decklists from the event. Check out what the competition is playing!
The Spoils™ Spring Constructed Championships were this past weekend, and a friend of the site, William M., sent in the Top 8 decklists from the Denver, Colorodo event. Check out what the competition is playing!
Welcome to the OPEN BETA version of the TCGplayer Draft Simulator. We are now allowing the general public to test the Single Player version of our new draft simulator.
There were the expected results from decks like Runetusk and Desecrator Stormclaw. Then there were some decks that were off the radar that did very well. One of those decks was Aleyah.
Each of these sections will lead off with the list that Tom settled on and then a discussion of the deck and changes that Shadowmoor has brought to the Archtype.
I realized that I didn't have one. A Plan B, that is. Never a good thing in this game, I thought, since your opponent will frequently surprise you with something that ruins your Plan A.
Before the arrival of Shadowmoor, Faeries dominated City Champs, but no one ever really accused Faeries of Affinity-level brokenness. They are now dominating in a way unseen in years.
On April 3, 2008, the week after the set came out, I posted a cryptic message on my tcgplayer.com blog. It said "Chaigon Hunter Aggro + new set tech = teh nuts." I think I absolutely right...
Consulting the Orb is back from its short hiatus, along with a fresh batch of interesting questions. In this episode, we talk about some sleeper cards that I haven't seen in quite some time and we clear up some FAQ confusions.

The title says it all really. I'm going to analyze the First Edition set card by card for both limited and constructed. Let's get started!
