POTTY MOUTHS!
A good batch of our mail recently has seen an upswing of people
telling us to stop using "borderline profanity" and to reel tn the
elementary school humor. The good part being that we've also seen
more mail telling us to ignore that other mail. Whatever will we do?
We've also received some heavy mail from concerned fans that feel
Wizards of the Coast (WotC) is on the verge of diluting Magic with its
constant releases of expansion sets featuring cards that "blur the lines between
the colors and help balance the game." This should be good.

Magic tournament decks
keep changing the rules on us. As soon as we get a Mag/c Killer Deck all
primed for the mag, them fickle folks over at the Duelists' Convocation start
banning, unbanning and restricting cards. Heck, even whole expansions got elim¬
inated from Type II tourneys.
So whatta we do? We dig up the last year's worth of decks from our monthly "Killer
Decks" column, redesign 'em so they're all nice and tournament legal, then pit them
against one another to separate the men from the boys.
After weeks of play testing, four stood head and shoulders above the rest, with the

Parting Advice
Unlike the Boy Scouts, you don't need to prepare for all con¬
tingencies. "But what if my Obi has to fight his Vader and I need
a Krayt Dragon Howl to...?" Blah, blah, blah. If you stock your
deck with "what if' cards, you have very little flexibility. If you
want a card that cancels specific interrupts or events, use Alters

give it a whirl. Why? Two reasons: One,
the new expansion, Forbidden
Knowledge, just came out; two, you can
get yourself going in this new and
exciting game for free if you’re lucky!
