Finding Casual Play: Part 2
Hey guys! Yesterday, I started talking about how Reese’s candy and Magic were related. You’ll want to catch that article first before going into this one. Check it out here: Finding Casual Play: Part 1 The point that I am getting at with this whole crazy idea is that we should approach Magic the same…
Finding Casual Play: Part 1
Today, I’ve been mulling around the idea of casual play and what it means. Honestly, it means something different to every person who reads it. That’s the conclusion that I’m coming to right now. As you know, The Casual Planeswalker is a site geared toward the casual player, and I’m always trying to find things…

Theros Card Talk: Shipwreck Singer
I’m always interested in multi-ability cards in new sets. These seem to be the places where the absolute most broken combos are found, and rarely am I disappointed in this venture.

I’ve heard a few people complain about the 4/4 and the fact that he’s in prime Mortars territory, but yeah. What…
Limiting M14
I’ve been playing quite a few M14 drafts lately, and I thought I’d drop in and give you guys some of the things I’ve noticed. First off, if there were any set that I described as being “bomby,” this would definitely be one. There doesn’t seem to be that many ways to answer the bombs…
Killer Combo – “Clear Your Mind… and Your Library”
Do you, like myself, wish for the day when you could slap a Glimpse the Unthinkable Glimpse the Unthinkable down on the table and watch your opponent wince slightly at the thought of having to throw 10 cards straight into the graveyard? I longed for those days until I saw this new little diddy that…

Together we will uncover the hot, the not-so-hot, and the downright newsworthy things happening in the Multiverse.
