Power 9 Pro’s second product the N-Dexers has been announced! We held a spoiler contest to see if any Magic players could guess what the product would be based off the accompanying sticker-art. Winners were selected based on how close they were able to guess what the product was for or how it related to [...]

Wellington is located on the Northern Island of New Zealand and is the country’s capital.  It’s nestled in a bay and actually reminds me of a very young San Francisco – a cute but manageable little metro area with hills like Los Gatos and little period houses all scattered through them.  I’m assigned to work [...]

Power 9 Pro wants to see where you’ve played Magic: the Gathering, and we want to see who’s taken their Dragon’s Egg to the coolest of locations. In fact, we’re so curious that we’re going to hold a contest and reward the winner and two runners-up with free N-Dexers! Here’s how it works: Take a [...]

At the stroke of midnight tonight a number of bannings will become effective in the elder dragon highlander format (here’s a sick link to the rules homepage for any unfortunate souls who have not heard of this fantastic format).  This time around, the chariot turning into a pumpkin is braids, cabal minion, who is now banned for use as [...]

For this post, I thought I thought it would be interesting if I pooled a number of different perspectives from the Power 9 Pro team. In that sense, we have a virtual round table discussion of the recent rules changes. I’ll start the discussion. James: So, team, we have a new set of rules rolling [...]

Our team member Bryan Greer posted another walk through for us. This one covers Fae vs. Doran Rock. Both solid decks with Doran by Yann Massicard taking the top-slot at GP Seattle, where the top 8 was dominated by faerie.dec. Here’s your chance to get an excellent walk through with commentary from both players. Let [...]

this past weekend i was down in san jose at superstars game store, a new partner location for power 9 pro products btw. there i had the opportunity to participate in regionals. though the day was not a successful bid for a national champs invite, i did have a great time playing with all the [...]

Well, after a rather grueling set of computer science exams I’m back and ready to talk Magic. As I’m sure you’re well aware, Regionals were last weekend and I’ve got some stories to share. We left Edmonton at 6 in the morning on the 16th, and got into Calgary at 9:30, with plenty of time [...]

Ardent Plea – 1WU Enchantment (Uncommon) Exalted Cascade Illus. Chippy #1/145 Well, on Friday Tom LaPille revealed here that 3cc will be the lowest casting cost for a card with Cascade.  I also like the “vanilla” feel of this exalted card.  Will this see play flipping knight of the white orchid, or wizened cenn, etc.?  [...]

Here’s the next 15 cards, along with my initial thoughts within ~15 seconds of seeing the card. Filigree Angel – 5WWU Artifact Creature – Angel (Rare) Flying When Filigree Angel comes into play, you gain 3 life for each artifact you control. 4/4 Illus. Richard Whitters #6/145 My first thought here is that this is [...]

top 8 magic (brian david-marshall) had the opportunity to preview Glory of Warfare, a rare from Alara Reborn. it was great that he spent quite a bit of time thinking about where the card might fit in the meta, pointing out its utility confined to standard and potentially block.  his main focus for placing WoG [...]
