AuthorTony Boydell

Theo-logy Plus

Tony does his usual mix of tricks and poetry, by providing a Seussian lament about “The Prat With The Mat” before launching into an elaborate wordplay puzzle that asks you whether you can figure out the names of Magic cards, encoded cunningly in a Da Vinci-style fashion! And if you can, you might win some foil Ravnica rares!

The current writing metagame is heavily weighted towards angst; with the mantle of ‘Issue Boy’ now vacated, it seems that all and sundry have picked up their angry pens and let themselves go like some kind of ventriloquist with their arms up a Rizzo doll.

Jilted John

Following the events of the last few weeks (and the fantastic amount of column space dedicated to the departure of one of our communities shining stars), I have decided not to give up Magic – both as a player and as a writer.

Mana Mia!

An excerpt from the latest Magic-Man-About-Town Magazine, it shows several of the latest clubs abroad! As usual, if you’re easily offended by near-psychotic English humour, stay away….

Suffering Suck-O-‘Tache (Part Three)

Is this a thinly-veiled attempt to garner votes in Pool 7 of CCGPrime’s Writer War? Probably – I mean, everyone else is doing it, so why shouldn’t I?

Suffering Suck-O-‘Tache (Part Two)

Welcome to part two in a series of… Ooh, how long can I milk this one for?

Suffering Suck-O-‘Tache (Part One)

Ah, but it’s that time of year again – is it really a year since my esteemed pal and patisserie-obsessed compadre Gabriel Minty-Fresh Gung-Ho Margerine-Soaked Sneeep provided his own vision of all things Planeshift?
