[Premodern Brawl]: Rules, Bans, Errata, and Commanders

Many of you know that I love Singleton formats.  I’ve written extensively on the subject of Old School 93/94 Brawl, and I’m still pretty sure nobody else but me has played since Hartfordfestivalen.  However, you may not know that I also wrote a series of primers… Continue Reading “[Premodern Brawl]: Rules, Bans, Errata, and Commanders”

Knowledge Vault: Banshee

On a regular basis, usually the first or second Friday of the month, our Knowledge Vault segment attempts to (somewhat satirically) Crack into the Vault of the best Old School 93/94 cards that you (probably) aren’t playing.   This month, we unveil Banshee to prove to… Continue Reading “Knowledge Vault: Banshee”

Tournament Report: Hartfordfestivalen 2019

Within this article, you will find my tournament report, a $100 budget decklist, some Brawl coverage, some general tomfoolery, and many heartfelt thanks.

Knowledge Vault: Thorn Thallid

Knowledge Vault: Witch Hunter

Every Friday, we crack into some lesser-known Old School 93/94 cards and interactions.  This week, we are taking a look at the Bluest White Card in the format:  Witch Hunter!  Witch Hunter may inspire the Terror of Leatherface wearing a Pilgrim’s hat, but it… Continue Reading “Knowledge Vault: Witch Hunter”

Knowledge Vault: Syphon Soul

In an Old School MTG 93/94 multiplayer game (Brawl or otherwise), resolving a Syphon Soul chips 10% off of each of your opponents’ life totals, with some life gain upside.  However, is that impactful enough to run maindeck?  Let’s Crack the Vault™ and find… Continue Reading “Knowledge Vault: Syphon Soul”

Knowledge Vault: Hand of Justice (and the giveaway continues!)

In this week’s Knowledge Vault, we’re going to take a quick look at Hand of Justice.  Now, you may be asking yourself, what’s so great about a six cmc 2/6?  Even terrible cards like Abomination and frickin’ Moss Monster are more economical than that.  The answer… Continue Reading “Knowledge Vault: Hand of Justice (and the giveaway continues!)”

[Old School MTG Brawl] Building 93/94 Reanimator in a format with “Color Identity” (and a new giveaway!)

This week, instead of building a deck around a Commander, we build the Commander around the deck.  Reanimation has always been a strong Plan A.  Additionally, in a multiplayer format filled with board sweepers, a few deck slots devoted to reanimation is also a… Continue Reading “[Old School MTG Brawl] Building 93/94 Reanimator in a format with “Color Identity” (and a new giveaway!)”

Knowledge Vault: Bartel Runeaxe

Bartel Runeaxe may look like a cross between one of the aliens from the movie Signs and a grainy photo of Bigfoot, but he’s tough as nails.  In my article on Old School MTG 93/94 Commanders, Bartel barely missed the cut as the best… Continue Reading “Knowledge Vault: Bartel Runeaxe”

[Old School Brawl] Boris Devilboon takes his Zombies to Swamptown.

Recently, I went into some detail about building an Old School MTG 93/94 Grixis (R/B/U) Zombie deck on our Twitch.  Unfortunately, the Old School MTG 93/94 Zombies are more flavorful than they are plentiful.  Therefore, Zombie Tribal is more of a subtheme in Old… Continue Reading “[Old School Brawl] Boris Devilboon takes his Zombies to Swamptown.”
