I love this card

onefinemess | April 29, 2009

Naya Hushblade:
I love everything about it – the casting cost, p/t, abilities, and the art.  Especially the art.  Not only does it convey some good flavor: Naya invader in Esper lands – for the non-Magic geeks, the materials making up the wall behind her give away a little about her location – but it’s also [...]

a good draft pool

Andy | March 28, 2009

Sometimes I get lucky:

I honestly would have been happy just to get the Wall of Reverence – but the rest of the deck supported it really well.  I won second in that draft, and I actually expected to win.  The guy that did beat me…his deck was really unspectacular, but effective.  Basically domain commons + [...]

so I fired up Diablo 2 again…

onefinemess | March 14, 2009

because with the rumors of a 1.13 patch, hey, I’m curious.
It’s interesting, it’s aged pretty well. Even at 800×600 it still looks good, and it’s still seems pretty fun.
Of course the spammers are OUT OF FUCKING CONTROL.  Every 3 or 4 minutes a spammer joined my game to spam some bullshit website.  That was not [...]

I won my first 8-4 AAA draft today!

onefinemess | January 18, 2009

Anyway…I rarely play 8-4s because they are full of the good people (most players have 1750+ ratings  – mine was about 1485 today – you start at 1600, so that means I lose.  A LOT.).  Mainly I do 8-4s when I want to try and raredraft: the people there are so much more set on [...]

1st draft win (ever)!

onefinemess | September 22, 2008

I’d made it to second place before – which was pretty damn surprising, but I actually won one today!
This after getting overly annoyed at a douchebag in a previous game.  People who don’t even bother to say some sort of hello – even “gl hf” is good enough for me! – just annoy me.
Anyway.  Onto [...]

MTG online

onefinemess | July 7, 2008

So yeah, I started playing Magic the Gathering Online recently, so I could get in practice and just plain play Magic with others.  The spectacularly sucky (and yet understandable) thing about MTGO is that you have to BUY a whole separate set of cards to play online.  Yeah, logical yet annoying I know.
Well, the good [...]

update

onefinemess | June 27, 2008

So, yeah, haven’t posted much lately.  I don’t have a whole lot of time to write, and what I have had this last week was spent working on a small guide for City of Villains – for the Crab Soldier archetype I mentioned in a previous post.
Anyway, if you’re curious about that kind of thing, [...]

second MtG tournament

onefinemess | May 3, 2008

I went to one at Guardian Games in Portland this afternoon (“sealed” I think is what the format is called – 1 tournament pack + 2 boosters) – man did I suck this time! My first two games were straight out losses, and the couple games I played in between were horrid losses too. [...]

Shadowmoor prelease – my first magic tournament

onefinemess | April 19, 2008

I guess it was a tournament, I don’t know all the terminology – but I went to the Shadowmoor prelease thing in Portland this morning and played in the first (limited) sealed tournament. I figured this would be a good time to try something competitive because most everyone is seeing the new cards at [...]

card games and old friends

onefinemess | January 23, 2008

So we finally got off our asses and out of town last weekend – we packed up a bunch of baby gear and headed to Eugene, for our first trip down that way in at least 8 months. Luckily, the wacky Webers happen to like us for some reason and have come to visit [...]
