Reading the Signals — A Draft Fundamentals Primer
Luis Scott-Vargas · ChannelFireball · 2012The classic beginner primer on reading what your neighbors pass: signals, open colors, when to pivot. Cited in every draft guide ever written; the ChannelFireball original went dark when CFB migrated, archive.org preserves the canonical shape.
A formative draft essay — LSV made 'reading signals' legible to a whole generation. If the Wayback snapshot doesn't open on your first try, use Reid's Signals chapter in this track — same lesson, stable Wizards host.

Luis Scott-Vargas · ChannelFireball · 2012LSV's pragmatic take on mulligan decisions — less theoretical than Chapin, less systematic than PVDDR, but delightfully direct.
Lost to link rot — no archive.org snapshot exists, and the LSV articles index on the strategy.channelfireball.com subdomain has no entry for it. If you have a copy, please reach out on GitHub.
What's the Play? The Looter Problem
Luis Scott-Vargas · ChannelFireball · 2014LSV's classic decision-theory puzzle on sequencing with a Looter effect. Original ChannelFireball page is dead and no archive.org snapshot has been found.
If you have a copy of this article — PDF, screenshot, text dump, anything — please reach out on GitHub. It's one of the few LSV 'What's the Play?' puzzles that's been truly lost, and we would love to bring it back.
