Amazing artwork from Rise of the Eldrazi cards. Are we seeing new Plainswalkers?

Weekly Top 5 Cards

With Rise of the Eldrazi approaching to our decks, let's make a short list of some interesting cards from Worldwake.

Jace, the Mind Sculptor

No need to say anything about this one. Jace has a special place in Control decks.

Kor Firewalker

What a great card for Kor decks, especially in sideboard against red.

Leatherback Baloth

Only three green mana for a killer beast. A must for mono-green decks.

Urge to Feed

Works best in Vampire decks, obviously. Since Vampires are massively played in Standard, it's a nice addition.

Basilisk Collar

Perfect for Kor Equipment decks, but it's useful in many other decks as well. Nice equipment.

Auntie's back

Happy New Year!

How's been everybody? Auntie's blog is back with a fresh start. My precious Goblin tribe from Lorwyn is long gone now and it's time for new challenges.

I've been out of MTG for couple of months, and so was Auntie's Hovel. I visited the local MTG store today to check what's new and I'm planning a new deck. Probably zombies or Zendikar vampires. I have no intentions of beating a Jund deck, I want to play more casual this time and less tournament play. This year's Worlds looks tasty, but I'm not sure I'm gonna participate the Nationals. Too much Jund decks, raw play and less money for me to spend on cards.

So, that's it. I'll try to push this 'fresh start' this year and be more active with the blog. Probably re-design is a good idea.

Have a nice MTG year!

Conflux aftershock

Well, Conflux is officially out. I played on the pre-release event and I still don't know what I'm gonna do about the release, because I'm a little bit low on cash. I never played worse deck on limited. For the first time, I played Bant, with a awful deck, but that was the maximum I could pull off the cards I got.

For the first time after a long period, I lost all the matches, finishing with a "bye", leaving the event with the release. The only valueble card I got was the Noble Hierarch which I'm gonna trade for Banefire or Voracious Dragon.

Bant is really cool, but it's definetly something I wouldn't play. The exalted abillity is very, very cool but it's just not for me. I like red and burn.

I got few cool Naya cards that can be used for fun Naya budget deck, I'll try to compile a deck list soon and if it turn out to be competitive I might be playing Naya (if it's too hard to find the two damn cards I need).

Draw step

Hi everybody!

I've been a Magic: The Gathering player for four years now, and I totally love the game, the art and everything involved. I've been through a small hiatus during the Time Spiral block and I started playing again when Lorwyn hit the standard.

I play Goblins since and they have been my favorite deck to play with. I'll post stuff related to Goblins in MTG, news in the game, cool decklists and everything else.

Over and out.
