Here is another week for 'This Week in Magic.' It's a bit of a busy week in case you didn't know. Rise of the Eldrazi is spoiling as we speak, cards are everywhere and analyses are beginning to pop up.

• ManaNation - Weekend Tournamen results 3/27-28 - A new weekly feature where we collect the weekend's tournament results and top decks.
• ManaNation - #104 - The Old House - I look over Rise of the Eldrazi, get philosophical about moving, and more.
• XMTG - Six Umbras to Be - Wizards really missed out on these six umbras.
• Judgecast - Ep. 8 - Insufficient Shuffling -
• Wizards - On the Rise, Part I - Rosewater introduces the design team and begins his introduction to Rise of the Eldrazi.
• Wizards - The Eldrazi Arisen - Obviously introducing the first Planeswalker of the set is quite important, and Sarkhan the Mad revealed a new shift in them. Wizards isn't locking themselves into the tropes they've used previously.
• ChannelFireball - Refocusing on Rise - LSV is definitely among the top minds of Magic right now, and his insights into the upcoming set struck a chord for me.
• BlackBorder - Controlling Brussels - Adam Koska gives a tourney report with Blue-White Control.

• ManaNation - When Judges Attack - Dale kept me entertained with a story about being out-politicked by Ben at EDH
• ManaNation - I Powerbomed a Dude for Making Fun of Magic - Irreverent, spicy... profane. Pick your word, but Brandon is unique in the Magic writing world.
• StarCityGames - Ultimate Vintage Dredge Primer (Part 1) - I play no Vintage. I know sadly little about it. If Matt does more decks like this, that won't be the case for long.
• ChannelFireball - Seven Magic Moments - Some great PT moments get revisited and analyzed.

• ManaNation - Kelly Reid on the News - Kelly Reid owns a store in Lafayette Indiana and the local news station gave him some free publicity.
• T:apped - T:hreshold - Andre, who draws the comic, is only getting better week after week. This week was quite awesome.

• Wizards - The Battle of Fort Keff - Introducing the second Planeswalker, Gideon. Then it's story time.
• StarCityGames - Bazaar Magic - Kitchen Table Abe explains another great Magic variant, Bazaar Magic.
