Not Another Irrelevant Format…
Being unable to attend States because of travel plans was also a good reason to stay out of Magic — not to mention that the new Standard was going to be just like the Mirrodin Block. Or so I thought. At the behest and nagging of Cedric Phillips, who boldly proclaimed that the new Standard format was not only passable, but fun, I decided to look into playing Magic again. I hardly knew what I was getting into, especially when I figured out that decks that look so bad on paper actually turn out to be quite good.
