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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. And [...]

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 the [...]

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 us [...]
