Hey all. I hope you all had a good Zendikar prerelease weekend opening your desired fetchlands, Planeswalkers and other good cards. I just felt bad because Saturday was also the day that the tropical storm Ondoy ravaged our nation’s capital Manila and the nearby provinces. Casualties and death are still increasing as of the moment and I hope those people affected get enough help to return their lives to normal. Continue reading
Hey all. This is my third take on the possible decks in post Zendikar Standard metagame. Previously I’ve discussed about the Ally class in Zendikar and for this post we will go with the deck that may possibly give rise to Black to be a Tier 1 deck in Standard. I’m referring to the Mono black Vampires deck.
To recall, Magic 2010 core set has given us a hint on the Vampire tribe with Vampire Aristocrat and the mythic rare Vampire Nocturnus. Let us see what Zendikar vampires we could use for the deck. (Refer to the Zendikar spoilers for card info.) Continue reading
Happy Friday all. Its been a while since my last quality post because of a messed mind set. Maybe its an effect of the awesomeness of card previews this week which confused me on which one to write first. Anyway, I better do this first before I loss the momentum.
The next prediction I will make on the post Zendikar decks in Standard would be the new breed of a tribe deck or rather a creature sub class. Yes, I’m talking about Zendikar’s Ally creatures. Since Zendikar’s theme focused on treasures, quests, and traps, these class of citizens in Zendikar adds up as an ally or allies to help in your adventures and achieving them. Lets take a look at a few Ally class creatures spoiled so far. Continue reading
The Standard rotation is drawing near. We will be saying goodbye to our Lorwyn tribe buddies, specifically the aggressive kithkins, the gentle Treefolks, the fiery Elementals, the Elves and the ever hated tribe that ruled most of the Standard, the Faeries. At this time, I’m guessing you are already predicting and preparing for the decks after the rotation. Most will probably stick with the decks from the Shards block or try the mono color theme Zendikar offers. Continue reading
Hey all. I hope you had a fun weekend. I’m sure you are all excited to see the start of the Zendikar previews today. There was quite a lot added today in the visual spoiler as well the card previews from today’s articles (we gotta thank them because despite the Labor Day holiday, they still went with the previews). Anyway in case you haven’t heard, fetchlands are back in Zendikar. This time its with the enemy colors. Check out Arid Mesa: Continue reading
You might be curious about the title, but today’s Zendikar previews proved my post title above and you will be happy swinging with your Goblin friends again. First, lets do a recap.
I remembered my early days of playing Magic wherein I first gazed upon the Goblin deck in Standard at the time of Tempest and Urza block. That deck featured powerful Goblin cards, a couple of burn spells and fueled late game with the insane artifact named Cursed Scroll. I’m sure you’ll remember this particular Goblin which was also popular in Legacy and was even banned at one time. Yep, I’m talking about this card: Continue reading
