Newton's top 10 favorite cards in Kinny's Cube

In light of the cube draft that took place last week, I figured that for my top 10 this week I'd do a top 10 favorite cards in the cube! This is not a technical look at the cards, but rather the cards that I've had the most fun playing with, or that I have seen as the best for use in the cube.

Deck Tech for Kinny's Izzet Artifacts Cube Draft Deck.

So it comes down to the wire and......the winner is.....both? 

Yup turns out after playing magic for the better part of 10 hours that day, and it hitting 1 AM, makes people sometime draw. Today we are going to be focusing on my deck for the draft that I built and why I built it.

Kinny's Cube Draft 5/16/15

So the first ever official cube draft happened yesterday. It was a very exciting day that I have been planning for weeks. If it was a hit it will be the first of many drafts in the near future. Everyone arrived and we got to drafting.

Newton's Modern Masters 2015 top 10 cards I would love to open

Since Modern Masters 2015 spoilers started I had been pretty excited, especially since the first card spoiled was Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Now with it's release being only a couple days away there's no better time to release the top ten cards that I want to get from the set.

Top of the Weekend to You: Kinny's Modern Masters 2015 Top 10 Edition

Top of the Weekend to You Magic: The Gathering Fans. I'm back with you to discuss my top of the top I want for the box I'm going to open of Modern Masters 2. Me and Kelya decided(probably against better judgment) to buy a box of it right when it went to sale. We saw all the spoilers, and while I was disappointed in some cards, I'm still stoked though. Its a big piece out of my paycheck, and I want all the good cards. 

My mind always goes to my Cube first as always, so I always look for cards for that first. Second I see cards for decks I want to build, and the fact that I want to get into modern next is a big draw for me. So with that, lets get this list started!

Keyla's Top Ten Most Anticipated Cards for Modern Masters

What with Modern Masters coming out next week, you can bet we at Mana that’s Good are excited. In fact, Kinny and I even purchased our box of it weeks in advance (back when it was still around MSRP, in fact). We will go over what was opened in the box when we do get it, so stay tuned for that.

In honor of Modern Masters, we all did our own separate lists of our favorites from the set/cards we want to open most in our packs. Let me start off this MM Friday!

Keyla's Deck Tech Wednesday: Tiny Leaders Edition!

You know what new format I’ve become completely enamored with?

Tiny Leaders.

I love it.

The limitations make building a decent Tiny Leaders deck so challenging, and in turn, really really fun.

When Dragons of Tarkir spoilers started appearing on the interwebs, Tiny Leaders was also starting to build steam as a format. I was already pretty in love with DTK, what with the time travel aspect and the “WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS IN THE NOW ALPHA TIMELINE?” panic. I was pleased to see Surrak was still doing well, given the current situation (THE FRONTIER REMAINS STRONG), Sidisi deserved it, Narset went the way we all knew she was going to, Zurgo REALLY deserved it and…

A Holiday top 5: The Best Moms in Magic

Happy Mother’s Day, everyone! We here at Mana that’s Good love and/or respect our moms, and in their honor I decided to do an extra special theme for my first top list on this blog: The top 5 Moms of Magic!

To do this, I went and searched for cards with the word “Mother” in their title. I am being as literal as possible here, so no Silver Queens or anything of that ilk. Only the bona-fide moms of Magic, ranked not really by how good of a card they are, but how good of a mother they are to their respective children.

So let’s get started with a pair of honorable mentions, shall we?

Newton's Top ten (most favorite) cards in Dragons of Tarkir

Keeping with theme of Dragons of Tarkir for this week's Top of the Weekend, I've decided to compile a list of my favorite cards from Dragons of Tarkir. These are the cards that I feel are the coolest or just generally tickled my fancy when playing with them or otherwise. Enjoy!

Disclaimer:
This list is only talking about NEW cards printed in the Dragons of Tarkir. There will be no reprints on this list.

Kinny's Top of the Weekend To Ya: Dragons of Tarkir in Cube Edition!

Top of the Weekend to ya Planeswalkers, Kinny here with the FIRST Top 10 list of the site! WHOOOO!!

So lets get this started with one of my favorite subjects to talk about regarding Magic, my Cube. Since I have started making my cube, it truly has been a thing that takes a lot of my time. When a new set gets spoiled I frantically go running through the spoiler list to see what could possibly be added, what can get taken away, and what is too good to pass up on. So I figured the last set that just went by, after some revisions here and there, I came up with the Top 10 Dragons of Tarkir Cards in my Cube.

(Note: Some cards in the set that are amazing are not in this list. Its probably because I don't have them, or I don't think they are the best in my cube.)

Deriums CCG Crate: OPENED!

We got our Deriums crate today in the mail.

For those that don't know, Deriums card shop in Ohio does a monthly ccg crate, a loot crate - styled service where for a set price, you get a randomly selected bunch of packs and accessories. We have subscribed to them since the beginning  of the service, and usually they give a video of what is going to be in each crate.

This time, they had no video and it was genuinely a random assortment. We were going to record the unboxing, but both of us got camera shy at the last minute. So instead we took pictures.
