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.

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...

Happy 3rd Birthday to Pink Saturday!

History of Magic:Nicol Bolas

Special thanks to the fine folks at MTGS .com for not only providing most of the content of this little history lesson, but also the inspiration. I have always been an avid learner of history. and I find that the history of Magic is no exception. 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...
