Well, three days to go and the English Nationals will be upon us. I’ll be heading over to Guildford this Saturday to get some drafting practice in a couple of side events, get a nice meal down me, a few drinks with some friends and (possibly) a good night’s sleep before the big day. One…

So, a naked walks into a bar, with Squee under one arm and a three-foot in the other. She sets the Staff down on the bar, and the bartender says… I’m sure there’s a punchline there somewhere, but I’m just not coming up with it. If you can think of one, email me and I’ll…

I tell myself I will not go even as I drive there." Big Black ‘Bad Houses’. After States, I was looking at the great Star City site here when I noticed that they had some of the decklistings for the top decks from those tournaments. If you haven’t noticed this yet, it’s under a black…

I submitted my first article to TheDojo on December 6, 1999. Two articles, actually; I guess it’s appropriate that they were both sent directly to the "humor" archive. That day marked my first big dive into the deep and sometimes fickle Pool of Magic. I guess that’s when it all started; what a friggin’ ride…

When last we left our hero, he was 1-0-1 going into the third round of Swiss at the Virginia State Championship. His G/r/w Blasto-geddon deck was being a little inconsistent, but it hadn’t lost a match yet. The glass is half full, right? Round 3 vs. Shane with Nether-go Shane was a real nice guy…

TAKING ROGUE TO STATES By now you’ve probably read at least Part One of tournament report, in which he ditched the illustrious Borg-2K deck that we poured time and blood and sweat and tears and at least two good decks of playing cards into (I had to template, so sue me: they were only buck-seventy-five…

INTRO: Howdy. Now the new Type 2 season is underway, and results from States are flooding in with a promise to define the elusive metagame. Yippee. To me,”metagame” can just as easily be translated into”now we have decks to copy on the web so we don’t have to struggle through developing our own.” Everybody break…

QUICK CORRECTION TO LAST WEEK: In changing (from a previous edition) to , I managed to keep the description for . is a 6/6 creature costing 4RR with echo, which does four points of damage to every other creature as it comes in. I am likely to get in the artwork for this article late….

So, last weekend was the weekend of the States. Lots of rogue decks, lots of Nether Go, , and Panthergeddon. I’ve spent some time poring over the reports I’ve seen so far, and it looks like some sort of metagame is starting to form. There seem to be a bunch of decks that, even if…

The first thing I need to do this week is tell you I screwed up. Last week, I published in my Grand Prix Dallas report that produces any color of mana save that which the land originally produced. This was an error. PoL creates a simple replacement effect. It replaces "This basic land produces <color>"…

Submissions. I get ’em. And I want more. But sometimes I have to reject ’em. It has been said that SOME sites will publish "anything that’s sent to them,"* but the fact is that probably a fifth of all articles submitted here get rejected – and that’s including the Featured Columnists, who usually don’t get…

Sometime, about six years ago or so when I was in my late twenties, I went date with a girl I had known for a short time, and we talked about what we were doing and where we were going in life. I think we both pretty much came to the conclusion that our friendship…

Mapquest says that Harrisburg is four hours and random minutes from Pittsburgh. Scott Teamann says it’s three and a half hours, so I can pick him up at six on Saturday morning and get there with time to spare, but on Friday night I get a "something’s come up" email. A little bummed I am,…
