Wednesday, November 12th – Of all the changes that have occurred within Magic over the last couple of years, few caused me more trepidation than the conversion of Theme Decks into the new Intro Packs. Having taught many new players the game through the use of the excellent Theme Decks, and with a constant supply of new ready-to-play sets of four or five decks at a time, they were a core component of my Magic experience. So why change a winning formula?

Tuesday, November 11th – As you know, States was this weekend. I did pretty badly, posting a 2-2 record. What can I say?
