 Demanding Relevance in the Face of Superior Forcesby Mike Flores Published on 2006-11-10 A StarCityGames.com Premium Standard article |
| You will knock over liquor stores and leave cars full of empty cardboard boxes on bridges and in tunnels. You will jump the turnstile in the subway and run past security at the check-in counter. You will throw red paint on granite lions and draw your fingers through wet cement, noticed but never, ever, caught. You will steal the glasses off the nose of the local librarian and pour water in the sixth grade teacher's potato chips. You will do anything — anything — that you possibly can, make every noise and exaggerate every motion, to distract the authority figures from what is really going on. You need time, and to get that time, you need them not to kill you. All war is deception, even this one. You will be a cardboard ninja and a digital assassin, distracting the enemy from anything that matters with everything that doesn't. And when you're done, when you're spent to your last card, and his mana is tapped even though he's convinced that he's won, you'll tap out Hellbent, point and click, and he'll go down muttering about how lucky you were to topdeck. Put simply, you will learn the most important lesson you possibly can in the quest for dominating a game of Magic - no lies! |
