Form the Wire to the Soapbox: Eventide Pre-release

As I'm sure everyone knows by now we get first chance to play with Eventide this Saturday July 12, 2008 at the. For sneak peeks, you can check out the officially released previews on the mother-ship, and the unofficial spoiler provide by mtgs.

If you are unsure where to play this weekend, check out the pre-release event schedule. I'm an really looking forward to the event, but so far am a little unimpressed with the set itself.

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...
