Unexpected Surprise

looking through the Return to Ravnica set last night i came across a card that surprised me a little, called Guttersnipe. out of the five colors the least favorite of mine is red(mountain). but having read this card and have now come to realize its potential i have finished my first red black deck.

the trick with any deck is making it simple, and consistent so you can predict what the outcome will be on any given hand. then it must have a sideboard that can alter that consistency so that your opponent cant predict what your gonna do.

  these four cards for instance have really good synergy. how does it work. well since vexing devil is very cheap most people play it as a one drop(the first card they play after a land). which in 90% of cases results in you sacrificing him. well why does his death have to come in vain. if you have him and a brimstone volley in hand wait till you can play both. it will make your opponent rethink that creature. guttersnipe can turn an everyday spell into something scary, the number of burn spell being played in standard means that you can easily take down an opponent by turn 4 - 5 with no need of an attacking creature. for instance if by turn 5 you have a guttersnipe out and you want to end the game fast use a mizzium mortar to blow up a creature then the player will take 2 from guttersnipe play brimstone volley for an additional 7 damage and you still have time to attack with your creatures. thats 9 damage and one of his creatures dead for 5 mana. thats like going to the store and buying a cake to get another free!! Guttersnipe will be a good card coming up as well with gatecrash. Both Boros and Gruul he is going to add the little extra thats needed to win. ill let you all know how my next FNM goes.

Wonderful World of Magic

Welcome one and all to our blog. Our mission here is to explore the card game Magic the Gathering a turn based card game invented in the early 90's by Richard Garfield, a great mathematician and to expose its awesomeness to the world!! well for all of you who don't know what magic is let me show you rather than tell you.

Within the multiverses there are collections of life scattered around the different planes of existence. there you will find great warriors, immense armies, legends only spoken in whispers. they are yours to wield in epic battles of mass proportions!!

this is the beginning of your adventure.. you decide the warriors, you plan the battles and you fight alongside the multiverses legends. there are five basic colors. each with their own advantages and attributes.

Swamp: dark, cold yet while you hear no noise there is something moving. where death is just an extension of life and fear is stuck into the heart of the bravest traveller.

Island: massive oceans, great open skies where the most intelligent thinkers and tricksy sorcerers work relentlessly to conjure a fleeting images and illusions to confuse and sneak past enemies.

Plains: wide open fields, clouds shade the land, here honor and law combine to create power that can only be respected! power found in numbers and power found in captains.

Mountains: huge sharp cliffs, fire light seen from the horizon, where myth is mixed with reality.. shadows of massive flying beasts, mountains moving as if they where alive and a fire that burns always.

Forest: dense trees, sounds of nature.. the magic that abides here is the oldest and most powerful, there is something in the waters of that place that makes things bigger then they should.

choosing colours that suit your personality can determine how games can go. this is where our blog is going to help you. the colors that Jakeinstein and i play are very different even the styles we play are very different. as we go along you will see this. but together we are going to have some fun.
