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 &#8220;brew of the week&#8221; 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&#8217;t say there will not be the occasional Modern or Legacy brew.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>That being said, let&#8217;s start it off in epic fashion. I&#8217;m not responsible for this brew but I think it is sweet, simple, and fun to play. It looks a bit wacky but it works pretty well.<\/p>\n<div class='mtgh' id='mtgh_c3e6c' style='width:500px;margin:0px auto;'><div id='mtgh_c3e6c_content' class='content'><table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' style='width:494px'><tr><td><ul><li><span class='count'>4<\/span> <span class='cardname'><a style='font-size:13px;color:;' class='' href='#'\r\t\t\tonmouseover=\"jQuery('#mtgh_c3e6c_box').show().attr('src','http:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/Handlers\/Image.ashx?size=small&type=card&name=Epic Experiment&options=');
