Sorceress's Schemes is a really sweet data darling from the first week of FIN limited. It's pretty obvious where it fits in (BR and UR), but why exactly does it perform well in those decks? Are there any other places we can play it?

In week one of Final Fantasy, I plumb the depths on what looks to be the set's strongest color - blue! After taking a look at what makes blue exceptional in formats where it was great like MID or MOM, I dive into blue's deep roster of commons in FIN.

This episode, I'm tackling midrange in Tarkir. What does midrange really mean? Why is midrange performing so poorly in TDM? When should you draft a midrange deck in TDM? Is it right to draft Abzan Midrange ever?
