Thursday, October 2nd – Sealed Deck is the format I least enjoy of all Magic formats, you have so little control over what you get to play with, you’re really at the mercy of luck with what card pool you get. However, this was a prerelease, and this would let me play with these new cards before I could buy them… sure, why not?
Wednesday, October 1st – Magic is truly a global game! Cards are printed in multiple languages each set release, from English to Russian to Japanese.

Fortunately, those of us who don’t play World of Warcraft are still relatively familiar with the phenomenon known as “real life,†and thus we sometimes occasionally every once in a while maybe just maybe interface with living, breathing human beings. If this happens in a Magical context, we might even shuffle up a physical deck of brown-backed insignia-inscribed trading cards.
Wednesday, October 1st – He’s done it! Rich Hagon mops his fevered brow and promises himself faithfully never to get into such a mighty undertaking as this five-part behemoth unawares ever again.
