Reflections on New England City Championships 2015-2016 “Before beginning to craft lists and extensively test matchups, my teammates and I created a preliminary list of decks that we believed to be strong contenders in the Standard format because none of us had much experience with the format outside of the occasional League Challenge. These are the decks we decided to test with and against: Mega Manectric variants Vespiquen variants Night March Giratina-EX variants Tyrantrum-EX/Bronzong PHF Lucario-EX/Crobat PHF Gengar-EX/Trevenant XY After a couple of weeks of experimenting with all of the above, I elected to focus on testing Mega Manectric and Lucario/Crobat. Despite lacking some of the raw power provided by other decks on…
Mostly Missouri Cities Roundup and Out of the Ordinary for Winter Regionals “Previously, I noted a moderate lack of ambition had prevented me from attending the initial round of Cities, however I managed to reignite some of my competitive fire and attend six events in total. I had a blast at all of these tournaments and was able to compete in an almost even split of Standard and Expanded.

Dallas Recap w/ Ultra Necrozma, Takeaways for BLW–SSH Expanded, Sword & Shield Top 5 Cards, and an Aside on Goal Setting “Going into Dallas, I was fairly set on playing Ultra Necrozma.

Building a Better PTCGO “Codes As far as I’m aware, no other card game does this with their official online program. Magic Online’s booster packs are the same price as physical ones, and there is nothing connecting the two whatsoever. Hearthstone doesn’t have a physical game, and building a competitively collection in a reasonable amount of time is likely going to involve some amount of money. Pokémon circumvents all of this by essentially gifting you a free online pack with the purchase of a real pack, and the same can be said for most of their sealed product (tins, blisters, etc.). Although this is…
