Couple days ago at regionals my round 3 opponent was Zvi Moshsfdj;sldfvitz (spelling?). I commented on his articles and he said his newer articles will be on the wizards site and that he was replacing that guy who was leaving. I didn't know if anyone knew this, but R_E said i could post this. I've been on the site a while but i usually don't post anything, so it feels kinda cool to contribute to any information :cool:.
Didn't he retire? Whatever I cold see him writing for Wizards and I could see him playing Regionals.
That would be great. Zvi 3rd Round....:(. The guy is THE best decknamer ever. Ever. Oh yeah, I hear he is an alright player too.
AND! I beat him 2-0 :D. We were in teh 1-1 bracket too
Anyway, i heard it was the last tournament he could participate in becase he is getting some kind of intern job or something. i dont know much about that.
Steve Menendian would have been nice to maybe, ya know, acknowledge that type 1 actually does exist. But I heart Zvi so that's cool too.

Attack one beating chicken of 4 cards, then erase 3 minus from your battleax. Never in your main phase will you do a 4 cards risen, but McDonald of 2 to the punish-bin. Again, beat softly to the end.
Umm, Zvi's last article on star city games articulated this.
Some of us can not afford to go all preimum and fuffy. Sorry.

Anyone have links to the tidbit stuff, like how he got Yawgmoth's Bargain banned and his decknaming skills?
Look in the Dojo for classic Zvi stuff. As far as decknaming you can look through the mtg.com deck archieves or wait a few weeks and check the article tab.

So true. What are we getting for the other new article y'all thing? I think we are getting an artist to write.

Interesting tidbit. Of course, we were going to find out anyways, but sooner is better than later.
Doesn't that contradict the whole point of the Rumor Mill?
Sounds good, especially the speculation about him eventually making it into R&D. Zvi is a great deckbuilder and has a deep understanding on what make sthe game tick. I'm sure he would be a great addition to WotC's staff.
i haven't got premium, but doesn't zvi write about vintage on starcity?
let's hope he does the same on mtg. (even though steve m would be better). it is also VERY possible that he would wirte about 1.5. they say they want to push it etc
Zvi only wrote about Vintage 2-3 times. He wrote about twice as many articles on Block leading up to PT: Philly and wrote a number of articles on standard and Extended. Losing him as a writer for SCG is deffinately going to devalue my SCG premier account.
Also, Zvi has worked as a developer before on Cyberpunk iirc. He certainly has the skills to work in R&D, but from what I understand at the moment he will be a writer and will be instrumental in building decks for the FFL.

Yep, Cyberpunk CCG is cool, too bad it's original company went under.
If Zvi is in the FFL there should'nt be any more skullclamp, Ravager, etc. type blunders because if it can be broken Zvi will break it before it gets to print.

As much as I like Zvi, this is not likely. Skullclamp wasn't even in his Top 10 list from Darksteel once the set came out, and neither was Arcbound Ravager. He would be a fine addition though, no doubt about it.
Steve Menendian would have been nice to maybe, ya know, acknowledge that type 1 actually does exist. But I heart Zvi so that's cool too.
Without getting into too many details, I'll say that I know Steve personally and he's got his hands full with a lot of other non-Magic related things right now. I'm sure he would have jumped at the chance, though, had he been offered.

I am no longer on MTGS staff, so please don't contact me asking me to do staff things. :|
I haven't read Zvi's articles since they seem to be only accessibe to premier members at StarCity. Those of you who have, do you have any idea what kind of an article he is likely to be writing at mtg.com ?

Zvi will likely be writing about theory. They said on mtg.com that the new writer would mostly be hitting aspects that weren't written about much there, and since the week that was and swimming wiht sharks are about competitive magic and MaRo writes about R&D the only thing left for Zvi to be qualified to write about is theory.
Of course I've been drinking, so I may be wrong.

Hey, this is cool. Now we can see the kind of articles none of us paid Starcity for.
"Stoned players can't attack, block, or play spells or abilities."
let's hope he does the same on mtg. (even though steve m would be better). it is also VERY possible that he would wirte about 1.5. they say they want to push it etc
