“You’re literally Hitler!”, words that you’ve probably heard several times if you spend any amount of time on the internet, a phrase that is usually completely unwarranted (“You prefer pie to cake!?

Welcome back to Magic Gatherings! I hope everyone had a great time at the Oath of the Gatewatch prerelease last weekend! I had a chance to play in the Sunday evening Two-Headed Giant event at Pandemonium in Cambridge, which was a blast (and very successful). More on that in a bit, though. Last week was my customary limited …

We live to break the cutting-edge news here at GeeklyInc. In the spirit of GET HYPE, I wanted to review two recent Star Wars tabletop offerings that I’ve been seeing around …

After playing the first seven months of the game the surface has barely been scratched.To avoid spoilers about specific games played, I’ll just be …
Welcome back to Magic Gatherings! Last column I introduced the Standard format. I wrote a bit about the requirements and spotlighted the new decks from the first major tournament that used Battle for Zendikar cards.
