Forcing Through - Legacy Primer: Punishing Delver
Legacy
is for the most part the most diverse format is all of magic.
Theoretically you can play just about anything in the format as long
as it has at least some good match-ups with the tier one decks of the
format.
This is a variant list of RUG delver that I would like to
show to you all today.

Explore - Hey, yo, that's amazing!
Friends, humans, soon to be Phyrexians, lend me your eyes. It would seem that Niv Mizzet has constructed a maze that needs to be solved. Luckily, enough powerful resources have been strewn about Ravnica that conquering the Dragon's Maze is not a mere dream, but an obtainable reality. The full spoiler has been released, and the Dragon's Maze prerelease is only a scant few days away. So, without, further adieu, let us take a gander at some of the newest tools to impact competitive play brought to us by the newest set, Dragon's Maze.

Ideas Unbound - The Invitational
This past weekend, I attended the Star City Games Invitational in Atlanta. While it was not a great weekend for me when it comes to actually playing Magic, I had an absolute blast all weekend. I learned a couple of valuable lessons that I would like to impart to you today. I would also like to take this time to go over some of my experiences this weekend and why I encourage Magic players to attend events like these.

Thirst for Knowledge - Checkmate
My younger years, before there was such a game as Magic, were spent playing video games & chess. Most of the video games that I enjoyed were puzzle games like Tetris, Minesweeper, and Mahjong. Chess was my 1-on-1 competitive outlet in those days:
- e4 e5
- Qh5?! Nc6
- Bc4 Nf6??
- Qxf7# 1–0

Forcing Through - A Beginners Primer to Legacy
In
order for you to get into Legacy you must figure what it is as a
format and what it isn’t, what it Legacy is, is a format that is
defined by cheap spells, counters, creatures and a very big emphasis
on efficiency. What Legacy isn’t, despite what I’m sure people
have told you previous, is a slew of cheap combo decks that have
essentially no interaction i.e. Cheerios, Dredge, Oops All Spells,
and Belcher etc. I can assure you that these decks are built upon a
very fragile house of cards and are easy enough to blow over with a
few pieces of discard or a counter spell or two.
