I finished finals last week and have been able to play test ever since. Luckily my grades were pretty sweet, 2 As and a C in a graduate level math class.         The important thing is I've been able to play between 200 and 250 games of the Core format. Some of these games were pleasant, and some not (Workstation is always a struggle). I've played with and against dozens of different decks and have learned a lot from my friends.       One thing that is important to finding a good deck to play is having a good network; fortunately for me I have quite a few people I can talk to about what's good and what isn't.       One thing that I have learned for sure is that Vorix Zorbuzz is the deck to beat. It's got solid match-ups for the most part and is definitely capable of winning against nearly every other deck. It's a little late for advice about this, but you need to be able to at least compete with Zorbuzz.       Another important thing is to have some sort of card advantage outside of Tuskarr Kite....

He quickly grew accustomed to playing card and board games at a young age and tore through all his competition. After beating his family at countless games of chess and war, he was no longer satisfied with savage beatings of his opponents. He was invincible and couldn't lose at his own house, so he had to venture elsewhere. Daniel approached his first would-be opponent, a modest looking boy roughly the same age as himself. "There is no way this kid can beat me, I am a master,"...
