December 2009 in Review

Well this was a big month for our little corner of the multiverse, the biggest yet in fact. This month is the first time we had over 1,000 unique hits on the site. this is no surprise, since this was also our biggest month for content, with 15 articles, from 5 authors. Thanks to everyone for making this such a huge month for us.

Legacy continues to be the soup of the day, with several events having been held locally. I'm pleased to say that we have several new members of the community, due primarily to the Legacy efforts. I've talked with several players, and we are going to try something new for Repack this month, shifting the events to mid-afternoon on Sunday. We will be forced to cap the events to three rounds, but I don't see it as being a problem.

You may have already noticed that the Calendar function has already been removed. It worked correctly for a full day, and then never again. It looks to be a programming issue, which I hope will be resolved, but since I didn't write either of the codes, I have no idea if or when. So, I've done the next best thing I can think of, I've added a list of links which would be relevant to local players; forums, formats, events, retailers, buyers, and local shops. If you think of anything I've left out, let me know. I've also started focusing more on the article labels. Using several broad categories, you can click on the labels at the end of each article, and find other entries of similar content or interest. Hopefully this will help new visitors explore their interests.

2009 was a great year, not only for our little site, but for Magic in general. The Magic 2010 set, and the Zendikar set may be the two most popular consecutive releases in Magic history. 2010 has three large set releases scheduled, so we may see an even bigger year yet.

Shards of Alara: Budget Collection Deck Building

Welcome back. Today we will attend the Shard of Alara prerelease event and use our $20 budget to participate in the open dueling event. I am pleasantly surprised to find that in addition to the 41 card Intro deck, and 15 card booster pack, that we also receive the foil promo card for the event. Although Wizards definitely trumped my last article, I really feel like I nailed the content of the new intro packs pretty well, and find myself in familiar territory sitting down for this article. 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
