Control in Guilds of Ravnica StandardBy Jessica Estephan
Arclight PhoenixHollow One
brought us a fresh take on Modern’s Hollow One deck featuring Arclight Phoenix. I tuned in for this stream and it had to be the best Magic entertainment I saw all month. Check out the highlights from Caleb’s twitter post below!

SCG Top Decks:10/07 Columbus Classic One of Legacy’s somewhat more affordable
decks took down a SCG Classic this month. R/B or Rakdos Reanimator has been a contender in Legacy for some time. The deck can be hated out with graveyard focused disruption, but it’s insane consistency and explosive turns keep it a strong player. Also, with the absence of Deathrite Shaman a lot of mages are jumping back on the Reanimation plan.
I will be taking Reanimator for a spin through a Legacy league this month so be sure to check out my schedule if you want to see some walking dead action!
MTGO 5-0 League ListOct 03, 2018 Archetype: Mono-Black Control
by nielsen333
What better deck SCREAMS Halloween than Mono-Black Control.
Mono-Black control has been a classic staple in Pauper since the format originated.
It has been one of my favorite go to Pauper decks on MTGO and this list by nielsen333 proves that it is still going strong.
Like most pauper decks this deck is pretty affordable but if you plan on building it in paper you may want to consider an alternate for Oubliette as this card, with no reprints since Arabian Nights, is becoming increasingly hard to find and the price tag is no joke!

There are No Bad Packs in Guilds of Ravnica Draft ~ !
Pack One - Pick One - Uh Oh ...
Don’t Worry!
While the statement “There are No Bad Packs in Guilds of
Ravnica Draft“ is not entirely true the biggest perk of the
Guilds Draft format that I have noticed is when you open a
bad pack you always have the guildgates to fall back on.
This pile of cards is from a draft I recently did on MTGO. I
first picked the guildgate and would consider this a pretty
poor pack. I think there are some cards you could argue
for… but I can’t resist the easy mana fixing to help play any
of the amazing multicolor spells Guilds has to offer…
What would you have picked?
Pack One - Pick One
