Spoiler Season

 Hey there MTG Fans! So we have our next official spoiler out now in addition to the previous 3, which are:

  • Temple of Enlightenment - the W/U Scryland 
  • Temple of Malice - the B/R Scryland
  • Temple of Plenty - the G/W Scryland
  Now what we don't know yet, is whether or not these will be the only Scrylands in this set. I personally am sad that we don't have the G/B one right off the bat, but we will see what the future holds.
   UPDATE: There is speculation that this will be like ISD and we will get a 5-3-2 release on the Scry Lands, which makes me sad, but apparently WOTC is more keen to use those Rare slots for other cards.

    We have had a big development since Christmas though! A New Planeswalker!!


                                     


   I personally think this card could be broken pretty easily. All you need is the mana to keep open to counter a kill spell, and a Prophet of Kruphix on the table and you have everything you need to keep this baby ramping for you. It does fall prey if your opponent has a very heavy creature deck, with the 2 starting CMC, which is why I see this being in a lot of turbo fog decks, especially the Maze's End turbo fog decks. We will see more what she is capable of as more of the set spoils.
   Here are a couple of other links for you to check out regarding this.

   So now we have Springleaf Drum, a reprint from Lorwyn


Springleaf Drum, Magic, Lorwyn

 Personally, I think this is a fun card. Lots people saying that it will never see Standard Constructed. I don't tend to disagree with them. It's a decent fixer, and allows any creature to become a mana dork. I can see how it wouldn't be ideal for most decks because you'd rather actually have the mana dork than this, but not bad as a limited card when your fixing options aren't there. It would be way better to have this be a 3 CMC mythic that loses the tap function and keeps the text.

  Until next time, keep brewing and we look forward to giving you more spoiler info as the season continues!!

More Orzhov Slow Death









Recent Posts




So this deck I have been spending lots of time on, trying it out against various other matchups, and most of the time it does very well. Here and there we have a really bad matchup, but overall it performs pretty well. The one thing I need to see out of it is more Life Gain (LG) consistently. Which can come through the whip, but I am thinking about adding things like Fiendslayer Paladin to get more consistency with it.

   Here are some videos for you to check out!





                  And finally, here's the wrap up Deck Tech for you guys as to what I am going to be moving to with the deck


   Let us know what you think! As always, keep brewing and we hope you have a fantastic week! Until next time . . .

FNM for the week











Recent Posts






   So we at MTG The Journey played FNM this last week and it was a blast as always! David played in the free event going 1-4, and got a promo Sin Collector

for the evening. He ran a haste-ily thrown together RDW deck, and lost to a bunch of aggro decks.

   Chuck played an Orzhov Debt to the Deathless

deck, but unfortunately without the Debt to the Deathless

, we didn't have any, so we expected to just pick some up at the LGS when we arrived. But alas, they didn't have any either. Fortunately for us, someone there had them for trade, but unfortunately, not in time to get them in the deck before the tournament started. Chuck went 1-1-3 and won against a mono-white enchantment deck, had a draw against mono-blue devotion, lost to mono-white battalion, mono-black devotion, and W/B stompy devotion. However, we learned a lot about the deck and how it functions this week, and will have some videos up soon of the deck and how it plays.

    We have been doing some Christmas shopping and picked up a couple Holiday Gift boxes for our MTG playing friends, and hope you are doing the same! Also, don't forget to check out our sponsor MTG Madness and check out their deals for the month of December!

     As always, stay tuned for future spoilers and decklists! Keep the brewing strong!
