Magic Links

I've been linking all of the cards on this site with AnyCraze, so I decided to give a good rundown of places to buy or just browse cards.

anycraze.com(buy and search)

moxdiamond.com(buy and search)

brainburst.com(buy and search)

wizards.com/magic(Wizard's magic site, articles, etc.)

There are tons more, the online MTG community is huge, so I'll post them as I find them.

Good Combo For White Weenies

Ever get mad when your Soldier deck just doesn't perform in the late game? Didn't do enough damage early, and now your poor Soldiers are stuck on defense against a big creature deck? Here's the solution: Recconaissance and Serra's Blessing. The combo is devestating. You can attack with every single one of your creatures every turn with no drawbacks. You still have all of your first strike damage on defense, and you don't have to worry about losing precious card advatage by sacrificing creatures for damage. Also works great with cards like Heavy Ballista that can effect combat when tapped. White always has trouble winning in the late game, but this is one way to dance around this continuing problem.

Nomination For The Best Card Ever

The Hypnotic Specter is quite possibly the best card ever. Casting cost 1BB for a 2/2 Flying with the added ability to discard a card at random when it damages an oppenent makes this sucker a devestating first turn play with a Dark Ritual. Not as purely mechanical as the Moxes or the Lotus and not as outrageous as Time Walk, it's still up there with the greats. Goes great in any deck associated with discard. Accept no imitations(*cough*Abyssal Specter*cough*), the Hypie is quite possibly the best discarding creature ever.

Magic: The Gathering

Magic: The Gathering is the granddaddy of all Trading Card Games(TCG's). This blog is dedicated to exploring the ins and outs of the game, ideas for its future, and more than a little deck swapping. As of now, I'm the only one reading this, so lets get cracking. This is a blog so we'll just start right away with decks(please link your cards if you have the time), links to magic hotspots, ideas for cards, whatever.
