Friday, January 8th – I activate the Charbelcher. It’s game 3 in the Top 8 on Sunday, January 3rd, 2010. I am playing against Jeff Lin. He has brought his hand down to five cards looking for a Force of Will to stop the combo from going off on the first turn. I am still able to play my cards, and watch as my Goblin Charbelcher hits the table on the first turn…

Friday, January 8th – I know I expressed it last week, but I can’t get over the excitement I feel when looking forward toward Extended season.

Instead, I’ll offer a few ideas for anyone looking for another resolution or two. Here are some suggestions.
Thursday, January 7th – Scapeshift is a deck surrounded by an unusual level of mystique. As a mythical “one card-combo†in the vein of Tooth and Nail and Enduring Ideal, people immediately began to work on the deck as soon as Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle was previewed. Many were uncertain if Scapeshift was any more than just another tadpole in a lake of gimmicky Extended decks…
Thursday, January 7th – I’d like to start 2010 on a positive note, talking about some of my favorite cards for the format, about some of the things I like instead of some of the things I don’t.
