Block Constructed, Post-Nagoya

by Russell Tassicker

Greetings, railbirds! There was a surfeit of Magic events over this past weekend, and on Sunday morning, I had the choice of tuning into any of three live feeds from Magic events around the world—the SCG Open in Denver, the Pro Tour Top 8 in Nagoya, and the brand-new Canadian Magic Tour live coverage from [...]

Blowing Up the Block: A Look at Block Constructed

by Darwin Kastle

With Scars of Mirrodin Block being the Constructed format for Pro Tour: Nagoya, I’ve decided it’s time for me to take a look at it. Most Pro Tours are dominated by two to three deck types, but I’ll be taking a look at several different ones here. I started by making a Block version of [...]

Block New Phyrexia

by Russell Tassicker

It's a rather unusual context to write in—with the whole set spoiled so long before the actual set release, and even longer before the expected late MTGO release. We're in the realm of prognostication, speculation, and theory, where the set reviews assign numerical indications of worth to cards with all the precision of "look at [...]

Infect has been making waves in the dailies with more aggressive lists putting up a number of 4–0 appearances, and I really want to try out the Red splash for my deck suggested last week in the comments. This week, though, we'll be [...]

Infecting Scars Block

by Russell Tassicker

Welcome back, everyone. I'm glad the K-Red article was well-received! A new format, however, is full of possibilities, and like a puppy in a room of strangers, I've gotten distracted from that deck and have moved onto the next one. As well as looking at Standard decks that we might be able to port to [...]

Stripping Down Scars Block

by Josh Silvestri

For those with an interest in a cheap online format or something with no clearly refined metagame, Scars Block Constructed is a great place to be right now. Everything from single-set block gets shaken up with the infusion of new cards, and since very few top players play the format, it gives people a chance [...]

Besieging Block Constructed

by Russell Tassicker

It has often been said that the best way to "go infinite" on Magic Online is by playing constructed, and in particular playing block constructed. The reason is these smaller formats are easy to solve; that is, to find the best strategy that is simply a step above everything else, and crush everyone playing the [...]
