In this video, I begin to unfold the basic principles of deck critique based on a foundation of respect. The main principles are based on theory that is informed by context, play testing, and application of the theory in the deck's content. Something I don't broach as much as I would like is deck tempo. Currently Noah Whinston has created an article/podcast (just the 1st half) on this subject that begins to scratch the surface. You can find it at: www.blackborder.com

Here I provide some updates on what happened with the Unstable Terrain landfall deck I detailed in Parts I-II when I began playing other people with it. I raise some concerns I have given some of the decks in the meta right now and begin to formulate a sideboard as well as switching out some cards in the main deck. Part IV TBA along with "the Magic Moment" (a tactical mtg puzzler inspired by Click & Clack)!

In this four part series, I explore the psychographic profiles created by Mark Rosewater that Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) use to research, develop, market, and sell mtg cards. By watching these videos, viewers should be better able to figure out their own type and therefore use this information in the opposite manner WOTC envisioned. In short, viewers will be less prone to the use of their profile against them to buy unnecessary cards and be more concerted and intentional in their purchases....

Hello mtg fans! Here's the next installment from Geeky-Guy Productions on a mid-ranged deck that makes use of the Zendikar Landfall ability built off the deck piloting strategy from the Zendikar Unstable Terrain Intro deck. While using bits and pieces of it, it's quite different once you look inside my deck box. To date, this deck is 9-1 on MTGO. Part I: Introduction of the Unstable Terrain deck & the Mid-Range deck strategy; the Blockers section. Part II: the Builders section; the Busters ...

As we come close to Halloween Night, I think it's important to consider a group of creatures who are discriminated against for no greater reason than the color of their fur. Black cats are still under-adopted in rescue shelters at an alarming rate and I hope to raise awareness about their plight. This video is dedicated to my loving wife, Emily, as a little small something nice for all the great things she does for me. Love ya Honey!

Here are some samples from live games on MTGO using the Vamp It Up deck as designed by Anthony Palmerio (aka, "The Proffessors" on youtube) and modified by me for a more "poor man's budget." The deck proved to do well against other aggro and slower decks, but had some hard time against...well, just watch the video to see! All opponents had no idea they were being filmed or would take part in testing this deck. As their screen names leave them anonymous, this had no harm and insured that no ...
