Article Ideas

Challenges and Articles forum

I have decided to add something to the article section. I'm looking for a shortish piece that can come out weekly.

Here are my ideas:

  • This Week in Magic. More or less a GP/SCG event recap of the weekend, plus any unusual stuff.

  • Strategy Tips. Do one niche tip to improve your game, and pretty much leave it open to commenting.

  • T/O deck tech. I feel like we've done these before (didn't CanadianShinobi start something like that), but I'd choose the top Modern deck and review it. Maybe get other people on for Standard or Legacy, Vintage, EDH, etc...

  • fluffybunnypants started a series where he showcased a random Modern or Legacy deck and talked about it. Maybe combine that with the deck tech.

  • Credit to ducttapedeckbox for this idea, but non-gameplay Magic. This refers to things like alters, dealing with a collection, etc...


That's all I have. Vote here (so I can figure out what people like the most without having to count), and if you have other ideas, vote "Other" and post or comment on a different idea.

Happy reading!

are we allowed to give idea suggestions?

Sure. Just post them as comments!

how about still a decktech article, but more often than not involving a deck that is centered around an obscure/ unused ability (ex: morph, ninjistsu, banding, stuff like that)?

I'd read that. As long as the decks created were decent at least.

thatd be kinda weird.

A weekly decktech article, that, like, technically was very good, and was written really well, but it only featured really shitty decks.

what a world I live in.

I'd like to see my "Thinking out of the Deckbox" idea actually work... I never actually got to start it, but you're welcome to use the idea.

Updating us on the latest events/unusual stuff AND about the current meta. For those lazy people who don't know what to expect at a major event lol, but that seems it could be really dry if written poorly

Or Maybe some janky decks that made top 32/64

I'm happy to assist with anything Vintage or Legacy related. My time has been notoriously lacking as of late, but still.

I'll bump this a little bit.

If I'm doing deck techs, should they be top 32/64 lists or decks on this site?

What about STANDARD dech-techs that revolve around NON-UBER competitive stuff. Like it's pretty lame to read a junk midrange/control/aggro deck-tech. Something like Junk REANIMATOR is cooler. Ya get ma feel?
