Hello one, hello all, and welcome back to the Underdog's Corner! It's been a while since I have had the opportunity to write, but I am so excited to be back! A lot has happened during my small hiatus in the Magic: the Gathering world including the release of the highly anticipated Commander 2017. The […]

Mairsil, the Pretender art by Izzy. Madness Flashbacks In Magic lore, the Dominarian wizard Mairsil drove mad a powerful mage named Ith. This nicely aligns with my experiences of Mairsil, because this card drove me insane upon its release. I knew within seconds that I had to, had to, theorycraft this budget deck for my […]

This week we get deeply personal on 60 to 100. Not because the deck is inspired by something that I love and have played in depth. Nope. This week we're playing an archetype that I hate with a passion. As a Merfolk player in Modern there is one notoriously bad matchup that I dread. Every […]

Reality can be heavy with burden, and, at times, feel like you're entrenched by your circumstances. School, work, the responsibilities of life; each has the potential to become menial tasks we're perpetually chained to. Of course there are ways to cope with this stark truth. Some people break from traditional norms after becoming romanced by […]

Something's Brewin' At one point in building an EDH deck, you have to stop and think about how to kill your opponents. Sometimes it's with your big angry commander (see: ). Sometimes, it's with your big angry (see: ). Sometimes, it's with your big angry horde of tokens (see: ). But today on Low Markt, it's with your big […]

This article is part 11 of a 10 part series covering the Singleton Guild Wheel Project, a 10 totally real and not fakedeck project where there is only a single copy of any non-basic land among the 10 decks. Each deck uses the color combination of a different Ravnican guild. The methodology is introduced here and […]

Killer of Metagames For many intenet denizens, April Fools' Day is an opportunity for pranks ranging from the hilarious to the inane. Here at Low Market Headquarters, it's an opportunity for some...unconventional deck building. Maybe with, gee, I don't know... a multicolored legendary artifact – equipment? Yes, Unscythe! Now, as a non-creature card, Unscythe is […]

combines the sneering punchable face of Martin Shkreli with the haughty annoyance of C3P0's body. He's a fun guy at parties. But enough about the card art. He's a 2/2 with Deathtouch. If he does combat damage to a player, you can cast a dead artifact from your graveyard. You still have to pay the mana […]

Here we are folks, our fourth installment of the Singleton Guild Wheel. They still haven't fired me, so here I am for another week giving you the lowdown on the most unnecessary deck building restriction since...highlander?
