My Life in the Zoo: Legacy Pt.10- 24 to Richmond

So here I sit, with under 24 hours till the big event in Richmond. I've been watching the Standard coverage for today's 5K, and the player total just kept climbing! 561, that is a bit scary, since many of these players may stay for the Legacy event, and it may be much bigger then I anticipated. More players, means more random decks, and less effective sideboards. Oh well, not much I can do at this point.

I did make a couple of last minute adjustments this week. I've been testing -1 Grove, +Wooded Foothills all week. My final call is to keep the list the way it is, but I need to get on the ball and pile shuffle every time. I refuse to lose games and matches because I fail to shuffle. After all the prep work I've put in, that would just be stupid. I spent a large portion of my time this week testing against CounterTop, in an attempt to nail down my sideboard. Turns out Shusher is just not getting the job done. There is simply to much spot removal, to try and ride this guy to victory against control. By contrast, Stoneforger Mystic continues to play like a champ, although I look forward to the day that I can simply run 2 Jittes.

Now that My deck list is finished, I just need to sleeve, brick, and write up the list, and pull together my gear for the event. I gave Bertha the weekend off, stripped about 12 pages out, and switched over to a travel binder for the event.

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...

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...
