Magic Online Musings: This Week on MTGO #8

Read The Blisterguy... every Wednesday at
StarCityGames.com!

The blisterguy is ill this week… but he’s still done his best to put virtual pen to virtual paper. From the isolation of his sick-bed, he brings you the bare bones of the Magic Online metagame. Why does he do it, if he feels so low? Because he loves us all that much.

Mucho apologero! This week’s offering is going to suck.

I am starting this game at 10 life thanks to some uber-flu that has gained control of my body. I’m just hoping this ability finishes at the end of turn. I can no more write to entertain you this week than I can do much else, other than look like my only line in this movie is “braaaaains.” For that I am sorry, and I hope some basic info will tide you over. To make this thematic, I am now going to type what small amount of information I can provide as if I were saying it with a blocked nose. You know, because that’s pretty much what I sound like right now anyway.

(sniffle)

Here id a quick dummary of da weeked’s resulds. I feel like I would pass oud ad da keyboard if I wend drough and figured oud where everyone finished and who dey were.

17 Hand in Hand (Ruel Black/Whide)

4 Gruul Beats (Red/Green Aggro)
3 Zoo (Green/Whide/Red Aggro)
3 Ghost Dad (Black/Whide Dallowispd)
3 Boros Deck Wins (Whide/Red Aggro)
