Hey, guys! It’s Serena!

It’s time for the third color on our list for the Jumpstart cube. This time, we’re covering black, my personal favorite. To go over the basics, we’re doing 20 card packs, each with three rares, at least one piece of removal, six basic lands, and an Evolving Wilds. We’ve previously covered white and blue.

MTG Jumpstart Cube: Blue Spotlight

Hi guys! It’s Serena back again!

This time we’re diving into the four blue packs in my Jumpstart cube. As a refresher, each of these twenty card packs will have 6 basic lands, an Evolving Wilds, at least one piece of removal and 3 rares. Since we’re in blue, I decided things like Counterspell and other counter magic worked for the removal slot. If you want a to take a look at the four packs in white, you can find them in this article.

MTG Jumpstart Cube: Basics and White Spotlight

Hey guys! It’s Serena, back with something a bit different!

Today, we’re going to dive into the concept of Jumpstart. But more specifically, a Jumpstart Cube! I created a total of 20 different 20-card decks with the intent that, just like regular Jumpstart, each player will shuffle two of these decks together. My current Jumpstart cube is made with four decks of each color, each with a different theme. Some of the themes are based on creature type, some on a given keyword, and some on other factors. Now, on to the general construction of my cube.

Infinite Power! A Trazyn the Infinite EDH Deck Tech

Posted on November 29, 2024 by John Parker

By Serena

Hey guys! Serena, back at it again with another commander deck tech! This time we’re talking about Trazyn the Infinite from the Warhammer 40k Necron precon. While I fully admit I know little of 40k lore, Trazyn himself is an interesting commander who gains all activated abilities of artifacts in your graveyard. This ability really lets him live up to his epithet, which can lead to several variations of combo-killing the table, either through damage or through mill.

Miku, the Renowned Commander Deck Tech

By Serena L.

Hey guys!
It’s Serena, taking the stage again to bring you all another Magic the Gathering Commander deck tech!

Selection of cards from the Miku-themed commander deck featured in the article

This time, we’re discussing Hatsune Miku! More specifically, we’re talking about Miku, the Renowned, a reskinned version of Feather, the Redeemed, a classic commander. This is a 3/4 flying angel for a red and two white. Also, whenever you cast an instant or sorcery that targets a creature you control, you exile it, then return it to your hand at the end phase. Therefore, we’re a fairly limited spellslinger deck, but that doesn’t mean we have bad options! The deck revolves around our commander and low-cost spells to hit our opponents hard and fast.

BCW Card Catalogs Meet WPN Premium Standards

Posted on June 17, 2024 by John Parker

Most game shops fall under the Wizards Play Network banner, but only a few have WPN Premium status. WPN Premium stores receive several benefits, such as exclusive product, WPN Premium promo cards, access to special events, and exclusive marketing materials. However, WPN Premium stores are expected to be among the best of the best, so there are several requirements a store must meet to be accepted. You can find an overview and checklist on the WPN Premium Hub.

While product knowledge and running engaging events are important aspects, many of the requirements focus on layout design and general upkeep of the store. Important areas highlighted are Card Storage and Shipping Boxes/Cardboard. In short, cardboard boxes need to be out of view, and card storage needs to be in an organized and matching solution or out of sight. The BCW 6 Drawer Card Catalog meets the requirements for card storage without the use of cardboard. This helps check off 2 important requirements, letting you focus on other areas. Best of all, the Card Catalogs are modular, letting you easily add more units as your inventory grows.

The Card Catalog is an excellent way to help your shop meet – or maintain – WPN premium status. Combining a high-quality look that fits nearly every theme with a modular design, the 6-Drawer Card Catalog will make storing and searching your card inventory easier than ever.
