Star Wars PocketModel TCG: Previews: Scum and Villainy refers more to the dark seedy criminal underside of the Star Wars universe, rather than the dark and brooding Sith and Dark Jedi.
WizKids at GTS - SW Pocketmodel, Heroclix and Pirates : From new sets being developed for HeroClix spanning all different comics and movies, to sneak peeks at the upcoming Star Wars Clone Wars series, to the possibility of actual moving constructible models in the Pirates Constructible Card Game, the booth had almost everything to make a Wizkids fan go crazy.
Bleach TCG - Complete Bankai Review: Bankai is a new expansion for the Bleach TCG that features, appropriately enough, special skills called Bankai. So what's it have to offer to the game as a whole?

Legend of the Five Rings - Exclusive Previews: In Legend of the Five Ring's Words and Deeds, you get to control Kami yourself, using them to defeat your opponents.
Star Wars Miniatures: GTS Interview: We sat down with Sarah Haines, Wizards of the Coast’s Brand Manager of Star Wars Roleplaying and Miniatures Gaming, at the GAMA trade show In Las Vegas.

Plan B
|
I realized that I didn't have one. A Plan B, that is. Never a good thing in this game, I thought, since your opponent will frequently surprise you with something that ruins your Plan A.

Consulting the Orb #4
|
Consulting the Orb is back from its short hiatus, along with a fresh batch of interesting questions. In this episode, we talk about some sleeper cards that I haven't seen in quite some time and we clear up some FAQ confusions.

Jank Corner: Nobody Does It Like Annalee
|
Before the Human Torch became a legend, there was a very janky deck that used a similar principle. This original silver age deck was jank for many reasons – most notably, the fact that it ran four teams and jank cards.

Demons Designing Death
|
For some reason I can't ever recall facing off against a mono-Underworld deck. Well, hopefully I can convince you that mono-UW can do something constructive with the following decklist and breakdown.

Universe Preview: James Barnes
|
Today's preview gives us our first look at an unaffiliated character. Although he is unaffiliated, he definitely works very well with the theme of the week for Thunderbolts.

Consulting the Orb #3
|
The questions are coming in pretty steadily now, which is fantastic. This installment of Consulting the Orb consists of the most requests yet, which range from text template troubles to nasty negation effects.

Jank Corner - A Martian Named Mystique
|
Welcome back to Jank Corner. This week begins our first wave of the Jank contest; a jank-off, if you will. The submissions were a little slow at first, but then they started flooding in.

What’s In Your Gauntlet?
|
The first surprise was that it will be an Open event: no PC points required, no minimum number of ratings points. I know some people are unhappy about this, but I think it was absolutely the right thing to do, for a variety of reasons.

Realm Champs Report - *2nd Place*

There were the expected results from decks like Runetusk and Desecrator Stormclaw. Then there were some decks that were off the radar that did very well. One of those decks was Aleyah.

Each of these sections will lead off with the list that Tom settled on and then a discussion of the deck and changes that Shadowmoor has brought to the Archtype.

Affinity Reborn
|
Before the arrival of Shadowmoor, Faeries dominated City Champs, but no one ever really accused Faeries of Affinity-level brokenness. They are now dominating in a way unseen in years.

|
On April 3, 2008, the week after the set came out, I posted a cryptic message on my tcgplayer.com blog. It said "Chaigon Hunter Aggro + new set tech = teh nuts." I think I absolutely right...

Mistakes You Shouldn’t Be Making

One of your main goals as a TCG player should be minimizing the mistakes you make. The winner of a World of Warcraft game is very often determined by who makes fewer mistakes.

Learning From History
|
Realm Championships are fast approaching. Many of you are narrowing down your deck choices. Remember, there's an old saying that those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
