The new format - Pro Tour Siege Rhino

What did I learn from the pro-tour today?


  • Siege rhino is still good
  • Mantis Rider is back
  • Jace, Vryn's Prodigy will be everywhere for the next 12 months.
  • 4-5 colour decks will be dominant.
  • Sligh has an opening to wreck many, many faces.
After being involved in 3 days of chat on You-Tube, here's what I designed... Because as we got into the top-8, everything was just Siege Rhino, the card is still silly good! The new set... Siege of the Rhinoceros.

Streets of Rage 2 and working.

Work for a company because you want to, not because you need to. It's 2018, opportunity is in every aspect of our life. It's literally everywhere and you'd have to be blind not to see how many start ups and big firms need gaps filled. Not to mention the rife amount of space there is for new businesses to emerge and generate income quickly. I'm not really anyone in the grand scheme of things, but I sit and observe a lot of the time. Both my immediate surroundings and the bigger picture, often asking questions others may think are irrelevant. But those questions help me paint pictures in my mind of how things are. Take a look at one of the Sega's ultimate games on the Mega Drive. Streets of Rage 2 (release in 1992) These people worked late into the night, not because they had to, because what they had was solid gold, they knew it, they had fun with it and their bosses worked hard to make sure they had the space needed to shine. A small, agile

Flying Boats and Metal Cats! - A lookback on Aether Revolt.  The months just fly by and we've come to the end of a format, with Amonkhet around the corner it's time to wrap up another season of Standard, this time I'll be looking back at what this meant for competitive play and how as a global community we either solved the format way too early or were just incredibly lazy at innovation. (Hey Chapin , you still there buddy?) So what were the top 5 cards of the set and what happened? Top 5 Cards in Aether Revolt Standard.   1st - Gideon, Ally of Zendikar. Gideon remains the most powerful card in Standard, winning games sometimes by himself in a field of no real instant speed answers (because who's playing To The Slaughter anyway?) Gideon features in the Mardu Vehicles/Ballista deck which has been tearing up tournaments since the onset of this Standard. Are you sick of Gideon yet? (That's probably because you don't have a playset or him or aren't

State of Judging - Burnt, OUT!

I should take a moment to make apologies to some people. I've been pretty weird at the moment. Honestly I'm not doing to well mentally right now. I'm angry, disappointed and have rage with regards Magic these days. This is down to a few things where mostly I don't feel it's my fault actually but have places blame on myself for over a year now. Judging wise I'm struggling massively, hugely, insanely and being the extroverted tit that I am I find it harder to tell something properly than try and clear my thoughts thought something like Facebook. I've had my own confidence shaken up by review, by feedback and by actions, confidence in the fact I'm not able to be who I want to be (who I used to be) as a judge. When things are running well, when heroes are around me to pick up me and collaborate with me I am proud of being a judge, proud of what I can contribute. My european friends in Judging and a good deal of UKISA judges are absolutely incredible as
