Editor’s Note: A long time ago, the first Magic website was The Dojo – a site that is still legendary for publishing some of the most fundamental principles of Magic. Almost all strategical theory can be traced back to the Dojo’s loyal writers, and any serious Magic player owes these old vets a debt of…
Anthony challenges The Ferrett to a multiplayer duel at PT:LA! Can a city so small contain the Twin Titans of Multiplayer? Well, probably.
Frighteningly, a lot of the Make Your Own Crap Rare submissions WEREN’T THAT BAD,indicating that a lot of people don’t know how hard it is to make a bad card.
Well, with this piece I officially become the FIRST CANADIAN MAGIC WRITER TO WRITE A MAGIC REVIEW! Drunk with power, I will undoubtedly beat up little kids for their lunch money, steal their cards, and mug old ladies. Before that happens, however, I will have to take a short look at the major events as…
THE GREAT ALASKAN TEAM SEALED MATCH: PROLOGUE, By the Ferrett "Hey," said , author of FINAL JUDGEMENT, "Anyone wanna have a Team Sealed tourney?" We here in Alaska all leaped at the opportunity, of course. It sounded like a fun way to spend the day, since we could all form various ridiculously-cliquey teams and trashtalk…
Never give up. No, really, even when you’re 0-2, and you know you’re not going to make Top 8 short of a miracle. Miracles are in short supply nowadays (just ask The Vatican; and here we thought that approaching the millennium would herald all SORTS of interesting events), and a lot of people will start…
A few weeks ago, I proposed the somewhat novel idea of having Wizards of the Coast start a "Senior Tour": A Pro Tour-type event for those of us "old-timers" in the Magic community (the thirty-and-not-getting-any-younger crowd). We may be very good players, but due to preoccupations like families and jobs, we can’t play as often…
Since I didn’t play in a tourney this weekend, does that mean I have to write a real article? Does that mean I actually have to think about a topic and get busy with my awesome arguments which will sway a grand total of zero people, but fire up the troops who already see things…
As an American citizen, I had to endure quite a media circus over the past few weeks. The outcome of a very important event was in doubt. I would read the newspaper each morning with bated breath, looking for more information, always wondering how and when this huge spectacle would play out. After much waiting,…
Thanks to everyone who sent Lisa birthday greetings – again, too numerous to mention by name. I turned on her computer before she got up on Tuesday and opened her mailbox so that they’d be waiting for her. She was most pleased. I also want to thank all the folks who have yet to mail…
Kack-handed Introduction: "We began before words, and we will end beyond them. It sometimes seems to me that our days are poisoned with too many words. Words said and not meant. Words said AND meant. Words divorced from feeling. Wounding words. Words that conceal. Words that reduce. Dead words."+ Things have been really busy at…
Break this Contest has banned AND (Shyft is an Ice Age creature that can go multichromatic at instant speed.) Any submission using should be resubmitted. Anthony apologizes for the oversight, and would like to state for the record that he thinks Ice Age is a lovely expansion, and that people who think about Ice Age…
A paper cut on my eyeball would have been preferable. Licking clean the bottom of an week-old ferret cage? Woulda done it in a second. I would have even welcomed the thought of twitchy junkie giving me a full-body shave with a dull razor and ice-cold water rather than go… …but alas, I couldn’t avoid…
The articles on the Internet read like a close family member had died: Hasbro was firing 750 members of its work staff, and Peter Atkinson had resigned his post of CEO in disgust. Are the numbers true? Reports say so. Did Atkinson leave in disgust? I hardly think so. Thirty years old is quite young,…
