Oscar Tan aka rakso talks about the weakness of green:
You CAN Play Type I #44: Why There Are Only Four Colors In Magic
"Longtime players like Randy Buehler probably remember the old joke, "There are only four colors in Magic."
It's a nasty - but quite true - way of saying that green is simply the most inflexible color in Magic."
And one of our own, Purple_Jester has written the only Prerelease report of a CPA'er in the forums. View it here |

-Star City contributor Geordie Tait
Okay, Geordie, hold it right there.
You didn't tell us just why Living Wish is broken." |

#14 in Quard's Corner:
Quard's Corner #14 from the Quard's Corner Archive by Vincent Navarino
"what do I have to do, dress up as a 6' 4" dancing brussel sprout?"
Oscar Tan aka rakso is up against Zvi Mowshowitz from Brianburst in the Writer's War. This part ends today, so vote now.
He also has The Deck going up against Zoo:
You CAN Play Type I #42: The Control Player's Bible, Part XX - Head To Head With Zoo
"Ed nailed another control player with similar skill (aka maindeck Flesh
Reaver and Null Rod) and met Mikey P in the top 8. Mikey P dumped a hand
full of artifact mana, cast Time Walk and Timetwister, Mind Twisted the
black deck's hand away, then quickly joined control players around the world
rolling on the floor laughing."
And the changes for the CPA aren't ready yet, there's still debate going on whether it's needed. Hang tight while it gets sorted out... |

Russell Sherman aka Duel talks about how Magic writers differ from another:
The Passion in Writing by Russell Sherman
"Rizzo’s best article, in my opinion, is “Bringing Out the Dead”. Wakefield’s was probably “All About the Dinosaurs.”
What's the difference between the two?"
And look for some changes in the CPA by next week! We have decided to expand from just Magic to "Other Games" (basically anything and everything else) and so you'll probably start seeing non-Magic articles on the front page. |

#13 in Quard's Corner: Apparently he had been missing for a while!
Quard's Corner #13 from the Quard's Corner Archive by Vincent Navarino
"it seems some bright-light in Parliament joked that they were holding me hostage until the United States recognized the Spice Girls as having talent"
Oscar Tan aka rakso pits The Deck against Stompy:
You CAN Play Type I #41: The Control Player's Bible, Part XX - Head To Head With Stompy
""In Type I, imagine if you lay a dual land and say go, then he plays Forest,
Skyshroud Elite, Rushwood Legate, Elvish Spirit Guide, Rogue Elephant.
That's seven power on his turn 1, or a turn 4 kill.
How do you handle three men on the wrong side of the table on turn 1?""
New poll to the right also. |
