My goal is to make StarCityGames.com better in every single way, so even when you email me to tell me, “THE PREMIUM ARTICLES SUCK MONKEY BUTT THIS WEEK,” I look at it as a happy challenge. What didn’t you like about the Premium articles? How can I fix it? Which is why it pains me to tell you that when it comes to complaining about the latest awful thing that Wizards has done, you are irrelevant.

John F. Rizzo. Every day this week. For free.
