The Magic Online Community Cup is fast approaching and some of you might be asking yourself:

So? I don't play Magic Online.

Well I'm here to tell you that you should be. Why? Because with Magic: The Gathering Online (MTGO) you can play What you want, when you want, how you want.

Feel like playing some Commander at 2:00am? Go ahead.

Want to only draft? You can.

Magic The Gathering Online isn't just for casual players; it offers many formats and events that are constantly changing. Many of the pros actually playtest their decks on MTGO before heading out to try them at GPs!

Another reason you should be playing MTGO? The Community Cup

Every year Wizards of the Coast invites active members in the MTGO community to take on the company itself in battles! Those

Not too long ago we held a contest where players can design a new duel deck for Magic: The Gathering Online. Well while they're not on sale yet, we'd thought we'd give you a sneek peek at the decklists!

You wanted a way to combat Infect? You got it:

I love being the bad guy. My D&D encounters are hard, I always win at Clue, and I ALWAYS buy Park Place 1st.

So when Archenemy came out I was quick to get myself some decks. I got Bring About the Undead Apocalypse & Trample Civilization Underfoot as my 1st (and only) decks for now. Both decks have some really great cards, and schemes and that's when the idea hit me:

I set forth and came up with a deck that I consider pretty mean. Players hate it, and some friends of mine have actually built decks just to go against me.
