Today I want to take a look at another blog-type site that is undeniably one of the best sites for quality content on Magic the Gathering. Most people who play Magic are aware of Star City Games (SCG), as they are one of, if not the largest Magic shops in the country. Their popularity stems from their ability to have well-known pro players write articles for them on a frequent basis, as well as players who do well at larger events also hosted by SCG.
There are two distinct areas on their blog that jump out at you: Premium, and Select. Select articles are free for anyone who visits their site, while Premium articles require a membership to read. Thankfully, whenever you sign up and attend a large-scale SCG event (Opens, IQ, etc), they give you 1 free month of SCG Premium just for playing. Not only does this incentivize players who want to read the Premium articles, but it also allows players who are unfamiliar with their site to try it out before paying for it.
I have been a Premium subscriber for almost 2 years, and while I don't read their articles as much as I'd like to these days, I'm still very pleased with the in-depth content they provide on a near-daily basis. They provide content about all the relevant formats (Standard, Modern, Legacy) and are definitely all about providing quality content.
Here is a link to SCG's website, and subsequent links to their Premium and Select areas:
