Continuing my series from last week, today we’re going to dive into the intellectually-developed world of Blue and their approach to social problems. Given Blue’s focus on self-improvement and knowledge, I think they’d be quite invested in the education system- Blue wants a society of free-thinking individuals. As with last week, I’m going to start …

Amonkhet 2-Headed Giant Prerelease
I had a pretty busy weekend, but I was going to try as hard as I could to attend a Prerelease somewhere. Halfway through the week I had made plans with some friends to go camping Friday night – buy complete AR-15 rifles, which ruled out a midnight event. I wanted to attend a single …

A Standard Metagame With Amonkhet
Spoiler season is, as they say, in full swing and I’ve already seen enough to believe Amonkhet will revitalize the Standard meta.

Abzan Warriors in Tiny Leaders
Welcome to my first article on MTGCasualPlay.com as well as my first article on Tiny Leaders! I look forward to writing articles detailing my local meta game through deck techs or format breakdowns. I am a competitive player at heart, so my articles will have no budget restrictions. It’s a cutthroat world in this …

Uril & Friends 13.0 – Uril, the Miststalker EDH Deck Competitive 1v1
Welcome to my EDH Primer / Strategy Guide. I am a firm believer that no deck is ever “finished” as we must always evolve and/or alter our EDH decks to fit our meta and counteract new threats. Uril & Friends is finally a complete 1v1 competitive EDH Deck, but I will alter this primer as …
