Happy Wednesday MTG peeps,

Goldfishing: Playing a solitaire game of Magic. Used to work out the tempo of the deck and to look for issues with mana and win conditions. The name stems from the notion that you play against your pet goldfish, who does nothing.

There is an online tool we've been using quite a lot.  This is a website where we check popular cards, popular decks / strategies then hit the drawing board to create our new weapon and make purchases at MTG Mint Card or actively look for a trade.  This online resource is mtgGoldfish.

This site has been online since about 2012 and it provides you with an understanding of the online economy for Magic: The Gathering Online (MTGO) using price lists, historical pricing data, pricing trends and metagame analysis. We particularly are very interested in what what decklists are delivering results on MTGO to determine which 'rogue' strategies are performing well or contrariwise, take an opposite approach and see what we need to play successfully against those popular builds which will (without fail) make it to the tables at our card shop during Friday Night Magic.

We suggest you check out mtgGoldfish and perhaps if you like what you see, get the premium membership or drop some change in the tip jar because you likely know the crazy server costs involved in keeping a site floating

Also of note today, we should mention what awesome promo cards to expect during M11 Game Day which will be taking place August 14-15, 2010 . . .

If ya don't know - Game Day takes place at participating Wizards Play Network locations worldwide one month after the Magic 2011 release. Game Days are the first opportunity to play Standard format on a global scale with the cards from Magic 2011!

All participants receive an exclusive Liliana's Specter promo card (while supplies last). The top 8 players each receive an exclusive full-art Mitotic Slime promo card. The cards are awarded to the Top 8 players even if the tournament cuts only to the top 4. Two Mitotic Slime promo cards will also be awarded as door prizes at each location.

Righto - so make sure you have all the M11 cards you need to construct that deck to make your game awesome - MTG Mint Card has a really decent deal on right now - Magic 2011 Core Set M11 Uncommon & Common Set X4 - check it out here.
