Today, beryjon takes a look at an Online Only Mechanic, how it works, and how it relates to similar mechanics in other games. Then he goes on to suggest how it might work in real life.
After a week's vacation,
berryjon is back to talk about the first real Tribal deck he built, and the creature type that went into it. No, it's not Rebels, it's something unique to Magic, and has been in the game for over 20 years now!
What does Card Advantage mean, and why is it so important? Well, today,
berryjon gives a quick look at it for new people who are confused by the concept and tries to explain it with examples. What do you think it is?
Today,
berryjon talks about what makes a Combo an Infinite Combo, or one of its lesser versions. And why the Infinite Combo might not be as good as you think it might be.
Today,
berryjon goes where plenty of people have gone before and looks at ManLands of the self-animating and externally animating kind. He also provides a deck for the concept, the first in a long while!
The Combat step exists to attack and block, but what if that choice is taken away from you? What then?
There are ten things in the game that you can do that ignore the stack. Some are obvious, some only appear on one card. Can you name them all?
A long time ago,
berryjon talked about creatures with Haste and Trample, and how they worked in the game. Today, he comes back to the same subject and hits you with it again!
At long last, the last of Ajani Goldmane! What secrets lurk within? What amazing revelations will be uncovered!
Nothing. Ajani is as Ajani is, and he is Ajani.
There's been a lot of Ajani over the years, so it's time to start looking at some of his versions over the years.
One of Magic's original Planeswalkers,
Ajani Goldmane has had a rough life, but has emerged better for it. Today,
berryjon summarizes this for you all, so that he can lay the groundwork for a more conventional analysis next week.
