Long ago, when trading card games were brand-new, people didn't sleeve their cards. They played them naked, completely unaware that their cardboard game pieces might one day buy a freakin' house. As time

Way back in January, I wrote a post about my attempt to build Wilson, Refined Grizzly and the Flaming Fist background into a voltron-style commander with +1/+1 counters and pump spells. After some playtesting,

I wrapped up my series about pauper decks a couple weeks ago, but I've been considering new ways to upgrade or even replace them. White The soldier deck is slow, perhaps unavoidably so, just because of

After a round of playtesting, I've made some substantial changes to the deck list from the last post. Sideboard Sidetrack The following thirteen cards have been moved to the sideboard. The links to their

There are three basic kinds of players known by nicknames in the Magic community. There's a comprehensive article on the official website, but in short there's Spike the tournament player who wants to

This is the fourth post in a series of pauper deck lists I'm sharing to introduce different ways of playing Magic: The Gathering. The first was blue mill, second was red burn, and most recently, I covered

In the last two installments of this pauper deck series, I covered a blue mill deck and a red burn deck, each with a secondary aggro combat strategy. The white deck is up next, and it's all about going

A few weeks ago, I wrote about my Pauper Mill deck experiment. That blue deck was only the start, and there are four more colors in the traditional Magic color pie. My goal is to build several simple decks

Over the years, I have written a lot about Commander decks for Magic: The Gathering, but little on the traditional 60-card formats. This is because I don't have any interest in keeping up with the rotation

I've noticed something odd about my decks. I don't know what others usually build, but mine lean heavily into token swarms. This isn't deliberate. I like horde armies in various games, but it's not a theme

It's been a while since I've written a deck list for Magic: The Gathering. The trouble is, when I get started on one deck, I find ideas to refine or build so many other decks along the way that sometimes

Way back in August, I hinted at a deck idea based on copying stuff and stealing stuff, and now it's time to show the bare bones of the deck I have in mind. See it on Moxfield here! This is not at all ready

This week, I'm trying a slightly different take on the kind of deck I wrote about last week. That deck was designed to inflict damage by making everyone draw. It's a tall order to defeat three opponents

The first time I built a deck with this commander, it just didn't work. It's not his fault. I was using him for color identity more than playing to his abilities. If I want to build a deck all about copying

OK, maybe, just maybe, there are a few things in tabletop games which look truly evil on the surface. Dungeons & Dragons has demons and polytheistic mythology and warlocks who literally make pacts

Way back in 2016, I wrote about an earlier version of this deck when I was trying TappedOut. It was fun, but by no means a powerhouse deck. It was good for casual events, but not capable of holding its

It's been about 15 years since I started playing Magic: The Gathering, and I decided to revisit one of the decks I started trying to build around then when the Scars of Mirroden and New Phyrexia sets were

I've written a lot about Commander/EDH and Tiny Leaders, but it's time to build a more accessible, budget-friendly Pauper deck! Deck Construction Rules Each card must have been printed at common rarity.

A blue Tiny Leaders deck which may or may not break the rules by exploiting a sideboard gimmick...
