Bit by bit, week by week we draw ever closer to crowning a champion of the 2007-08 Season! We’ve come a fair ways already, crowning a winner of two of the four divisional champions- and today we’ll be crowning a third.
Dragon’s Maze: Gruul Siege Review (Part 1 of 2)
When we began our coverage of Return to Ravnica, we focused on a number of themes and mechanics that gave the set a sense of cohesion from the original to the latest iteration. One of the greatest of these wasn’t a particular mechanic so much as it was a much more fundamental innovation- the very guild system itself.

After a slight bump in the road, the Preconstructed Championships are back on track. It will take much more than a hetic week to sideline the power and the glory of a season’s worth of precon decks battling it out with eternal glory and supremacy, as they look to scribe their name in the book of champions.
Dragon’s Maze: Orzhov Power Review (Part 1 of 2)
As we discussed n our last review, with the guild mechanics all making an encore performance there wasn’t a great deal of room for mechanical innovation. While fuse was able to strike a balance between the limitations of the set’s design space and the need for a new mechanic to help ‘sell the set,’ it wasn’t the only new innovation to the set- just the most obvious one.
2007-2008 Precon Championships: Turian Division (Part 1 of 2)
Welcome to the opening day of Forsythe Conference action! While the Preconstructed Championships are well underway, we’ve thus far been watching the Rosewater Conference unfold. Now, while Evincar’s Tyranny from Tenth Edition rests up for the battle against the Goblins from Duel Decks: Elves vs Goblins to decide which of the two is going to the Grand Final, we turn our attention to the other half of the field.
