Here is my latest attempt to do some MTGO recordings with a GW Aggro-ish Standard deck. Its a non-standard list that I think would do well at an FNM or just sitting around with your buddies. I would not feel completely comfortable taking it to a big tournament, but if you did, I would not fault you for it you would probably do alright.

I would generally like to release a new brew every week on Wednesday but this week has been woefully busy!
This weeks’ brew isn’t anything combo, it isn’t anything fancy or new so to say, but rather a very solid deck I have spent a grand amount of time editing and playtesting.

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.

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 »

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything here and I think that with this recent triumph marks an appropriate time for me to write again. Two of the Average Joes Team made it to top 8 for the 2012 Florida States tournament, congrats to Shawn Ellis and Bryan Elliott (myself).
A Ravnica Retrospect

Return to Ravnica is just around the corner. With much anticipation gained by the spoiler-esque picture of Jace and Niv-Mizzet just chillin’, the awesome setup of the pre-releases and the speculation that shock lands or a land very similar with basic land types will be returning, it’s gotten all Magic fans from the era of the original Ravnica block giddy like school girls. Or maybe that’s just me. Nonetheless it’s going to be awesome.

Standard Brewing – U/B Tezzeret Control

As Standard is about to change slightly and evolve into a new format, I wanted to do something different for a local FNM one night. I decided to go Old School and give props to a good friend of mine, Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas. He and I go back to when I opened less than a box of Mirrodin Besieged at a prerelease (18 packs from 1 box and 14 packs from another) and he graced me with his presence…4 times. I knew then he would be by my side to bring out the Phyrexian in me. Here is our story…
