Friday, July 10th – Regular readers know I’m not exactly thrilled with the Standard format right now, especially since enough half-way decent players netdeck the usual Tier 1 suspects at my local tournaments so that any interesting “Tier X†decks I cook up tend to end up getting crushed along the way.
Friday, July 10th – Magic 2010 is a downright interesting set, dripping with flavor and lighting up the eyes with untapped potential.

Thursday, July 9th – The mantra of “perfect practice makes perfect†is one of the most important lessons I have ever been taught, and I have applied it to everything I try and do throughout my life.

Wednesday, July 8th – I love Alpha, and just last week, WotC reminded us that they have sheets of cards from the first set in their offices. They used the set as inspiration for the new M10, which sounds like the highway that goes through Ypsilanti, by the way (Michigan State Route 10). Let’s go drive the M10.
Wednesday, July 8th – Prereleases for the new core set, Magic 2010, are happening around the world this weekend.
