What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?

The challenge of Magic drew Jonathan in at the beginning. All these years later the game is still challenging.

Early Challenge

Learning when/how to attack. As a control player attacking didn't come easy to Jonathan. Playing a lot of limited helped him learn.

Worst Magic Moment

Feature match in a Pro Tour in 2009. Playing a UG Landfall deck. Jonathan won but a well-respected player looked at him and said "you play so awful". This hit Jonathan hard. Jonathan focused on learning everytime, even if he wins. Pay a lot of attention to the game.

Proudest Magic Moment

National Top 8 in 2011 (first major top 8) made Jonathan realize he could do it.

Best Format

Modern

Learn the deck you are playing. Learn it inside and out.

Learn the other decks as well. Get to know their game plan

Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself

Be positive. No matter what. Jonathan struggles with this sometimes but knows how important it is.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Not communicating well during a game. If you communicate well the entire game then mistakes come across as honest instead of cheating.

Non-Magic Activity

Neuroscience articles help Jonathan improve his focus.

What's in Your Tournament Bag

Coat

Food

Water

Playmat

Notepad

Dice

Improvement Suggestions

Have fun.

THANK YOU!!!

Welcome Back QS Cast!

After a long hiatus the QS Cast has returned with a new panel of hosts: Chaz Volpe, Corbin Hosler, and Tarkan Dospil continue on with where the cast left off and in this episode they discuss the following:

Where the cast has been, and the direction it will intent to take.

- Major GP Weekend and Modern SCG (GPPortland, GPRimini)

- Discuss major value changes on specific cards on major daily interest pages on MTGStocks

- The validity of Dredge and what to identify - what cards have increased, what cards will continue to increase, and what cards may increase in the future.

- Identifying future trends and what specific cards to acquire for value over the coming weekends.

As always, please comment and leave questions for us to address on the next cast! We will be making QS Insider questions a priority, and we want to know what you want covered.

Enjoy! We're glad to be back.

Who doesn't adore alliteration?

Justin, Shawn, a digitized Stephen, and I are back following a Bridge from Below to Modern's newest old kid on the block.

Does Modern Dredge have the power to upset the format, and what can you do to stop it?

(Hint: Rest in Peace is great)

Next up is Shawn's brainchild in our first ever Deck Brewing segment! This month is all about breaking Bedlam Reveler in Modern!

We go through the aspects of the card that we're looking to abuse, cards that will help us with that, and finally end up with a 60 card main deck that's ready to be tested and tinkered with!

Here's what we came up with:

4 Bedlam Reveler, 4 Tarmogoyf, 3 Scavenging Ooze, 3 Liliana of the Veil, 3 Lighting Bolt, 2 Abrupt Decay, 2 Terminate, 1 Seal of Fire, 1 Tarfire, 3 Mishra's Bauble, 1 Kolaghan's Command, 3 Inquisition of Kozilek, 2 Thoughtseize, 2 Whispers of Emrakul, 2 Faithless Looting, 1 Infernal Tutor. 23 Jund Lands.

How would you build it differently? Make sure you submit suggestions on Twitter and Facebook for next month!

Stay turned for more next week!

In this episode, I’m talking to Brian Rowe, host of the YouTube Channel Mythic MTG Tech. Brian is a wealth of knowledge and knows so much about the the game, the cards, the finances, strategy, the list goes on and on. But what’s most important is Brian’s passion for building community within Magic: The Gathering.

Brian is a warm and generous person and enjoys meeting everyone.

His day job is in law, so we get to touch on some law stuff.

Brian also loves chess and table top games. He’s working on a new project called Meeples Included where he writes strategy. Before talking with Brian, I wasn’t sure what a Meeple was. If you’re not sure either, Brian explains it to us.

I had a great time talking with Brian, please enjoy this episode of Kitchen Table Magic!

I also want to dedicate this episode of Kitchen Table Magic to Christopher Rush.
