Well that didn't take long! Within five short days, the 5-Color world has been shaken to its core, and a brand new format has been re-launched! All I can say is that I'm stunned. I truly thought the beuracracy of a Ruling Council would necessitate a vote and months of debate and inaction. Instead, Jeremy Bush, aka Zombor, aka 5CRC Chairman relaunches a new website with a new deck size, color requirements, and new B&R!

This will take a little bit of time to fully digest and figure out, but basically here's the new format rules:

Minimum deck size and color requirements:
300 cards minimum.
No more than four of any card (except basic lands). Banned and restricted lists do apply.
At least twenty five (25) cards of each color are required. Multicolored cards count toward any one of that card's colors.
Proxies are allowed for any number of cards in a deck.

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...

I love to spend hours on the wiki learning new connections and interations of the story lines, and people which make up the Magic multi-verse. I have taken the liberty of leaving the hotlinks inthis article to take readers back to the source data. My intention is to give credit where credit is do, and to encourage others to spend some time in this digital library readingg about their favorite corners of the multi-verse. The planeswalker Nicol Bolas was the most powerful of the Elder Dragons to survive the Dragon War . He later became the emperor of Madara until he was defeated by Tetsuo Umezawa . Bolas most recently rose again near Talon Gate and defeated Teferi , and closed the Talon Gate Rift, escaping to a plane of his own design an...
