I was browsing through my one of my old card binders the other day, looking to see if any new deck ideas would pop into my head. While looking I realized there’s some cards from back then that could be re-made as new card types. Jandor’s Saddlebags would make a great equipment to [...]
I’ve been so out of touch with Magic over the last (great) number of years and so many changes have been made to the game that it took a while to really get back into and know what was going on. I’ve pretty much caught up on everything so I decided to take the [...]
Having our little Magic tournaments on Saturday night just doesn’t seem to be working out that well. It started good, 10 people showed up, but then the next week only 5 and then the following week only 3. The problem is that the other shop in town plays Saturday afternoon, so by the [...]
Tonight was the first DCI sanctioned tournament at my store and overall I’d call it a success. 10 people showed up and had a good time. I placed 7th, the deck I built wasn’t very good. Even though I had play-tested an online version of it, I couldn’t find all the cards [...]
I’ve decided that while I’m not giving up completely on drafting online, I’m going to stick to Swiss drafts so I’ll at least get to play all 3 rounds, win or lose. Since making that decision I seem to be doing a little better. I bought 3 packs and drafted a few days [...]
Took part in an M11 draft last night, I drafted mostly red and could have done mono-red but splashed in a little green for extra beefy creatures to use with Fling. I built the deck around 2 Chandra’s Spitfire, 2 Fling, 2 Fireball, 1 Lightning Bolt and some random red & green critters. [...]
My shipment of Magic 2011 (M11) came in today so I immediately started cracking open booster packs, it’s fun opening new packs from a new set, even better than Swisher Sweets. The first 2 boxes were disappointing, lots of good cards but none of the high value ones, so I went ahead and opened [...]
I’ve opened a couple boxes of M11 so far but it’s been a little disappointing overall from a retail stand point. No, I haven’t broken street date and I won’t be selling the singles until Friday, it’s just easier to get them open and ready ahead of time. No Baneslayer Angel, no Primeval [...]
