Extended bios can be found on each author page.
Q. When are new Underground articles published?
A. There are on average three (3) new Underground articles published each week, Tuesday thru Thursday, at ~12 PM EST (GMT-5). We schedule more content before major tournament weekends than after, so you may see four articles one week and then only two the next. Our objective is to help you prepare for events. A calendar of upcoming articles and events can be viewed here.
Q. What topics are included in Underground articles?
A. An Underground article could…
- profile the best decks for an upcoming tournament
- discuss how to play the crucial matchups
- analyze decklists
- talk about upcoming card releases
- report on a first-hand tournament experience
- offer tips for high-level play
…or include any combination of above! We cover a range of topics to help competitive players elevate their game. If you’ve never read an Underground article before, start here: these ones are free to read.
Q. Do your articles apply to Juniors and Seniors?
A. While our focus is on Masters play, our commentary is applicable for all age divisions. Many of our writers have earned Worlds invitations as Juniors and/or Seniors, and many have also coached Juniors and Seniors, so we have experience in navigating those divisions. Please ask if you ever read an article and would like to clarify how it applies to Juniors or Seniors.
Q. How can I ask your writers questions?
A. You can connect with our writers in three ways:
- in the discussion sections for each article,
- by messaging through our forum,
- or via social media, like Twitter or Facebook, if the writer mentions they are open to connecting that way.
We encourage you to reach out whenever you have questions.
