Friday, November 20th - I realize, in the grand scheme of things, that there are a lot worse things that can happen to you than a run of extraordinary bad luck playing Magic.

Friday, November 20th - Even though my days of college have long since passed, my desire to live the college lifestyle has not.

Thursday, November 19th - Zendikar is an extremely fast draft format. While initially popular, a lot of players have began to bemoan its speed, saying games are over too quick and, as a result, there is a smaller chance for skill to impact each game. While that statement is partially true, a quicker format puts the skill emphasis not on play, but on drafting. |
