		<description><![CDATA[Steve Sadin has written a great article on beating bombs in limited.  I think his article is relevant because M10 seems to be a bomb driven format.  I played seven rounds in an M10 Prerelease Sealed Tournament and many of my games were decided by bombs.

		<description><![CDATA[Runeclaw Bear vs Grizzly Bears?
Initially, I thought, &#8220;What&#8217;s the point?&#8221; with the functional reprints in M10 that just have different names. 
You know, Essence Scatter vs Remove Soul, Blinding Mage vs Master Decoy, Divine Verdict vs Neck Snap, etc.
However, parakkum has a good point about changing the names to improve the fantasy theme environment.  [...]]]></description>

I didn’t think Hall of Fame voting was going to be so hard this year. After eliminating everyone I had not heard of or had a negative impression of, I ranked all the remaining players using criteria such as integrity, sportsmanship, general contributions to the Pro Tour, quality of finishes and how scary they [...]]]></description>

On Saturday, I played M10 for eleven hours straight, making the finals of a twenty-five man tournament and then drafting an utterly horrid Blue deck that went 1-2. As usual, here are my impressions of the cards as I saw ‘em; some looked good [...]]]></description>

The good news is that pick orders are possibly more useful now than in any previous set (since I have never outlined any for a Core Set before)! You do have to consider mana curve and creature count, but you really should be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mike Flores gives us a couple of decklist ideas for Elvish Archdruid in Magic The Gathering&#8217;s Standard format.

First, Elvish Archdruid is awesome in aggro mono-green Elves.

Turn one play a land, Llanowar Elves.
Turn two play a land, Elvish Archdruid.
Turn three play another, tap all three lands and Llanowar Elves for Hunting Triad. Okay, now the Elves [...]]]></description>
