Standard format is one of the most popular formats in Magic:  The Gathering. The cards available to you in the current standard format are ones that are in the last two blocks (Zendikar, Worldwake, Rise of the Eldrazi, Scars of Mirrodin, Mirrodin Besieged and New Phyrexia) and the latest core set (M11). For Standard players, with M11 and Zendikar about to leave us in October, the question we are left with is what mana base will we have??? We know that we will lose lands like Scalding Tarn, but it’s great to see we will be keeping these five.    These...

Something new for you all today! It's a two-player limited game in a single package:   Booster Battle Packs are designed as an introduction to the limited format, and are quick and fun for Magic players of any level.Each pack contains a pair of semi-random decks, each with land appropriate for the deck's two colors. To play Booster Battle Packs, each player selects a deck, opens a booster chooses up to five cards from it, and shuffles them into their deck, then the spell-slinging begins.

Their fallen, already piled around him, were a testament to his skill but their numbers were undiminished. Anger….Rage…. Let them come at him and feel the full force of his fury. Let them come and fall beneath his sword. A blood wrenching scream rent the night as he attacked…. Magic 2012 brings about the return of the Bloodthirst Mechanic...

Hey there guys and girls, I'm Dan Barrett. If you don't know me already, I'm a regular London player at The Games Club in London, and have a fortnightly column on StarCityGames. If you do know who I am, hey again! Today I'll be discussing the New Phyrexia event decks that have literally been released just this morning, which the kind folks at WotC UK sent me to have a look at. So, what are they, who are they for, what's in 'em, and most importantly: are they any good? Let's take a look. Event decks, so I'm informed, are aimed at newer players who might not be quite ready to start...
