Anthony Alongi doesn't get brought up enough, and neither do his ratings for which he assigned to cards based on their usefulness and stylings. Bruce and Andy talk about these six animals and how you can use them to evaluate what you have on your hands.
Wizards has dumped much of their archive including these articles. They can only be accessed through archive.org and these links:
