Why I play 5-color (or what ever it's called these days)

I've had a lot of question recently regarding why I choose to play 5-color(or the format that was recently 5-color), and really this is better answered as why I don't play other formats. This question has been spurred lately by the changes to the 5-color format, and the very recent announcements regarding From the Vault: Exiled last week. So I had spent the last couple of weeks piecing together on the subject, when I stumbled across a very good article on the subject. While it does not match my opinions exactly, it does do a very good job of mirroring them.

So without further pomp and circumstance, please visit SCG, and give it a read. The article also mentions Chris as it's inspiration. Many people may not like this article, or the one which inspired it because frankly it's making fun of you. If you manage taking them to heart, they really does have a lot of incite.

I have selected a Bant Intro pack for our purposes. Although it is not the most budget friendly of the intro packs, I feel like it's theme lends itself to the budget/new player the most and is really easy to play. For our $12 investment in the prerelease open dueling event we will get the intro pack, a random booster, and the foil prerelease card. I'm also going to recommend something a little different, and visit our local budget friendly game store and pick up a play set of the none cha

and Now for Something Completely Different

Well, maybe not completely different. I often use this platform to talk about something I've heard related to Magic the Gathering . Today I'm going to talk about something I have heard more and more. Sometimes in life, media, and imagination somethings take on a life of their own, becoming more then sum of their parts, and reaching beyond the scope and measure of the seed thought which spawned them. Recently it has come to my attention that something as simple as a color, has done just that. We've come together today through the force and will of pink . For a year now this simple blending of red and white has brought people together from all across the globe, inspired and renewed friendships, shared hopes, dreams, and passions of individuals. It has in some small but measurable way, changed the world, and the people in it. I have thought that I was beyond the scope of this phenomenon, as beyond an impressive collection of scars, I really have nothing pink in my life. Let
