#1 Fate Reforged Spoiler – Ugin, the Spirit Dragon

Category: Spoiler, Fare Reforged

This one is the real deal and he looks sweet.  Much better than the previous and now known fake that was leaked earlier.

#2 Heroes and Villains at Wizards of the Coast

Category:  MTGO

By  Danny Brown

The love hate relationship with Magic Online continues - we love the Magic part but hate the online part.  I think this article does a good job discussing the issue.

#3 Rule of Law – Don’t Let Cheaters Back In

Category:  Community, Cheating

By Matt Sperling
A contentious article and view point for a contentious topic.  I am inclined to agree with Matt on this, playing Magic in competitive events is a privilege.  Cheating hurts the whole Magic community and should receive the strongest punishments.

#1 Changing Morph Handling in the IPG

Category: Rules, Competitive
By telliott
A must read if you are into competitive play.  The short version - failing to reveal a morph at the end of the game is now only a warning.  The game needed this change and I am glad the penalty could be adjusted.  Worth a read for all you Melvins.

#2 Whip of Erebos: A Case Study

Category:  Finance

By  chosler88
A fascinating look at MTG finance through the case study of Whip of Erebos.  Lots of good financial wisdom in this one.

#1 Bring Back Snow-Covered Lands

Category: MTG Community, Comedy
By Danny Brown
A compelling argument in favor of bringing back Snow-Covered lands.  I couldn't agree more.  They are a icy blast from the past and full of flavor!

#2 Judge's Corner:  State-Base Actions

Category:  Rule

By David Greene
This has been a relatively new discovery for me.  so far I have really been impressed with Judge's Corner on GatheringMagic.com.  I have learned a lot about complex rules interactions.  This episode was definitely eye opening regarding State-Base Actions in the game.

 

#3 Announcing Modern Masters 2015

Category:  New Product, Modern Masters 2015
By WotC

So excited for the new Modern Masters!  Sounds like this won't be the Modern Masters set printed either as they have attached the year to the name of the release.  I can't wait for spoilers to start coming out for this set... I can't wait for this set to be released!

#1 2014 World Magic Cup

Category: MTG Coverage
On Twitch
The best magic players playing their best.  It was great and I watched replays of the events all weekend.  If you haven't already watched it take a look at the replay. 

#2 What Constitutes a Casual Magic Player?

Category: MTG Community, Comedy

By Danny Brown
An interesting question.  Is a casual magic player one who is more interested in having fun than winning even if they spend lots of time and money doing so?  Is it possible to be a hard core EDH player is in it only for the fun of the game?

#3 Bad Owners, Bad Policies

Category:MTG Community, MTG Finance
By Cliff Daigle

I've definitely personally experiences my share of bad LGS owners and bad LGS policies.  In fact the closest LGS to my home is the inspiration for one of the commenters. Check out the article and read some of the stories in the comments.  Great stuff.
