Brewer's Minute: Core Set 2019 - Five Janky Modern Combos


It's prerelease week for Core Set 2019 which means it's time to talk about the janky combos the set enables in Modern. 

While, perhaps due to its new-player-friendly nature, there aren't a ton of new Modern combo in the set, there are a handful of super sweet (and super janky) combos that might have potential to form the foundation of fun, semi-competitive decks. 

So today for Brewer's Minute let's break down my five favorite janky Modern combs from Core Set 2019. Then, if you have some other Core Set 2019 combos!

Rogue's Alley Reboot, Episode 1: Metalwork Master Combo


It's BACK, and what better way that start where we left off with Metalwork Master Combo. 

This Combo deck tries to fill up the graveyard ideally for a turn 4 or 5 Gate to the Afterlife cracking into God Pharaoh's Gift with a Marionette Master and Metalwork Colossus in the Graveyard. 

Master comes back in as a 4/4 with 3 servos, which gives 16 points of damage by sacking the servos and GPG to Colossus!

Announcing Core Set 2019 Rogue Master Brewer


Do you have what it takes to become THE "Rogue Master Brewer"? This month’s challenge is focused on Core Set M19. While Standard is the most likely place to find fresh brews, you are not limited to that format. 

However that does not mean that it is acceptable for you to take advantage of reprints like Scapeshift in a Valakut and Primeval Titan deck or Ajani’s Pridemate in Soul Sisters. The core of the deck should be a fresh take on a non-tier strategy or even better; something completely new.

Market Monday: Why Timing is everything in MTG Finance


Understanding WHEN to buy and sell is probably more important than understanding WHAT to buy. In this video I cover some opportunities for when buying magic the gathering cards is the right call and when selling them in anticipation of reprints or rotation is right. 

For now, I wouldn't be holding onto any commander staples from recent sets that haven't seen a reprint in the last two years ESPECIALLY if they are between the 5-10 dollar mark.
