Hey everybody! Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Chris Adraneda. I am a long time Magic player dating all the way back to when Legends first dropped in 1994.
A brief history: one day my brother came home with a bunch of extra commons and uncommons from Revised and Legends that a friend gave to him. Needless to say, that is all it took. I was addicted. READ MORE »

I’m kind of known as the dude that plays something different every single week. I love Magic: the Gathering for many reasons but one of the main reasons is because I always have something to think about; I always have something to work on. I love brewing decks and I love it when I see an awesome brew that someone is working on. Due to these reasons I am going to start posting here on AJMTG.com regularly with kind of like a “brew of the week” format for those that like reading and discussing this sort of thing. For the most part I will stick with Standard brews but I won’t say there will not be the occasional Modern or Legacy brew.
Standard Bruna – The Aura Authority

Bruna, Light of Alabaster, is a card that is begging to be abused. In Magic, getting anything for free is huge value, and she has the ability to get many things for free.
When one first sees this card, they automatically try to think of the best, beefiest, most powerful aura to try and get on her; but in reality, its a lot simpler than that. When building a deck that utilizes her, its a smarter route not to cram as many aura’s in the deck as possible. Instead try to find the perfect ones.

Greetings to all. Let me start by introducing myself and also by thanking Adam for allowing me to write for his website. My name is Christian Geohagan and I have been playing the wonderful game of Magic: the Gathering for a little over 3 years now. My first ever event was the Scars of Mirrodin pre-release. Since then I have been playing every Friday Night Magic I could get to. Although I have yet to play in any larger tournaments, such as Pro Tour Qualifiers or 5K’s, they are not far off.

When cards first started being spoiled for Return to Ravnica, I kept talking to my friends about how good I thought Jund was. It was a big deal at the Pro Tour for Block Constructed and it only seemed to get better with cards like Abrupt Decay, Thragtusk, and of course the Shock Lands. I didn’t sit down and brew different decks over and over to try different things, I just kept brewing the same deck in my head and kept wondering how to make it better. Here was my thought process and my decklist that I decided on. READ MORE »
