A fellow frenchman once built a deck before a major tournament. When I mean "before", it reads : "the night before". He created a brand new standard deck from an old concept.

Deckbuilder was Antoine Ruel, and the tournament was PT Honolulu 2006. The standard deck was Owling mine, and reached top 8. Can you copy/paste the concept of bouncing in ordre to make damage through an artifact ?

Time spiral brings a lot of new cards (does it ? ;). GOOD new ones. PEZ usable new ones. Some might even give birth to brand new decks, such as this one.

Time Spiral review

By Frédéric Meurin on Sunday 24 September 2006, 22:15 - Reviews

Here we are. The long rumoured new block is out... well almost. What is to be noticed for PEZ deckbuilding in Time Spiral ?

[Edit] from IdfTrotter's comments of this review on Yahoo groups, and from Chris Morling's comments on this site.

Great site !

I just discovered through Mtgsalvation.com the www.magiccards.info, with its autocard functionnality.
It's a great and easy tool to enhance this site. Be sure I'll use it to make decklists clearer.

A lot of common cards offer to gain a few life points.
Making a deck out of these is a waste of time : what can a healing salve do against a Tendrils of Agony boosted with a 8+ Storm ?
Here's the way of the life deck : Combo !

Chris Morling has made an extensive and very good article about this combo deck. It doesn't forbid to bring a stone to the building :)

Tortured existence, a better build

By Frédéric Meurin on Friday 25 August 2006, 13:05 - Decks

Bidasse and I have a lot of talk and build comparison on Magic-ville.com.
He tried to better the Tortured existence deck I built a few days ago... and succeed (damn !)

Reprints : PEZ good news

By Frédéric Meurin on Thursday 24 August 2006, 11:03 - On the web

New Magic players begin to play with cards from preconstructed decks, and boosters cards. Bad news is they miss the vintage cards that make PEZ so powerful.
Good news is : Wizards of the Coast is doing good reprints of common classics !

Paradise Medics are back

By Frédéric Meurin on Wednesday 23 August 2006, 16:49 - Decks

I built this deck a few days ago. It intends to control the board and draw before combo off with the Freed from the Real + Paradise Mantle + Goblin Medics combo.

The built was good but hasn't any sideboard yet. So i designed one, which impacted the main deck.

I playtested some decks this saturday, and had the chance to discuss about the top PEZ decks, and more specifically about Mono black ones.

In "Old overview and new ideas", I told you about Jason Chapman's Mono Blue Hermetic Crab Deck.
My overwhelming love of whatever looks like a Prodigal sorcerer made me look at this deck.

Old overview and new ideas

By Frédéric Meurin on Friday 18 August 2006, 11:37 - On the web

This old (2002) article at Game players network is definitely out of date. It's overall presentation of the format includes some mistakes, such as the strip mine still listed as a common, and "powerhouses cards" such as... desert.

But don't stop at this : Jason Chapman is no newcomer to PEZ, and since then, he has been writing for the format. If not the best, he's definitely one of the most active writers.

The many deck lists are more interesting. Even without some real and current top tier deck 1, it's still a nice source of inspiration for alternate lists.

Welcome !

By Frédéric Meurin on Wednesday 16 August 2006, 15:01

Hello everyone and welcome to this new site devoted to Peasant Magic.

What is Peasant Magic, also known as PEZ ?

The best answer can be found here, on the PEZ founding site. It's basically a chance to use common cards in a viable format, unbroken by mox, revised bi-lands and meddling mages. Enjoy the unexplored power of the majority of your cards !

What's the point of this site ?

I first came to PEZ thanks to Christophe Deslandes, fellow frenchman and Master of PEZ in Paris. I started browsing the web in search of decklists, sets reviews and tactics. I did find a lot of these, but they tend to be out of date.
So I came up to you with my good will and this site, in an attempt to gather informations, discuss about the format and share decklists.

Enjoy, comment and have fun !

Power to the people ;)
