Our WoW TCG website Daily Metagame has gone through its first 12 weeks of being online, and we have continued to expand. I am actually very proud of how the site is looking, as we have traded those old corny ass banners for something that looks a little...well, like most websites. It's got some ways to go, much like so many other projects we have in the pipeline for DMG (many of which I know the

Run Good Club has been retired due to my work with Tim Rivera, Phillip Martin, and James Hollister on Daily Metagame, our new WoW TCG website. You can find material from the Run Good Club, as well as new articles from the writers at this blog, at the new website.

 After ages upon AGES of tense waiting (okay, a few days. Sue me!), here's part 2 of Chris Reilkoff's Gen-Con report! Round 5: Morganis Blackvein – Undead Frost Mage Midrange – Corey Burkheart Corey Burkheart has been playing mid-range Mage decks for the last year of tournaments, so when I saw Morganis Blackvein I was not surprised. I figured his deck contained Dethvir (his reason for

Run Good Club wants to hear about your local Battleground events! Having just read some reports at the Cryptozoic Volunteer forums, it appears that Battlegrounds numbers are going up. That being said, what is your weekly Battleground scene like? Where do you play, what days, what time, how many show up, and what do you all play there? I'd like to get some details. Preferably something nice and

If you haven't checked out our sponsor's store over on the right-hand size of this page, I'd suggest you do so. Especially if you haven't seen all of the rares and epics from the Icecrown expansion. Ron's got them all up for pre-order right now. Finished looking? Awesome. Now, onto today's discussion topic: What do you think of the rares and epics in this exciting new set? Share your thoughts!

Chris "Jedion" Reilkoff joins us again with part 1 of his extremely detailed tournament report for the World Championships. Having had the 'pleasure' of facing down Zorak'tul a few times on Magic Workstation recently, I have started to gain quite an appreciation for this deck strategy, and I'm sure you all will find Chris's explanations of each round to be as interesting as I did!

There are two things that Balance Druids are known for in the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game: one of those, I talked about in detail on Tuesday. Here's the cliff-note version: Moonfire spamming is fun. The other strategy associated with Balance Druids in the WoW TCG, particularly thanks to popular old cards like Force of Nature and the theme's focus in the Blood of the Gladiators expansion,
