March Madness

Another stellar month here at Planeswalker's Stronghold. Not as much content as I normally like, as many folks have been busy, including myself. Despite that, we did have another break through month on readership, with nearly 2200 views for the month, and putting us over 10,000 total views.

We had a great Repack event in the month of March, with old friends coming out, and several new folks also. The current pack mix appears to be working well, and we have far more consistent packs. This improved pack consistency has made the "snow covered" rule less important, as the cards don't appear as frequently, but the current thinking is to keep the rule around as long as Coldsnap is in extended, and then go from there. Aprils pre/release schedule puts April's event right around the corner, so we may see a little slip in attendance, but we will have to see.

and Now for Something Completely Different

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!

Grim Tidings #26: Flip-Flop

I think the majority of magic articles I write aren't very helpful. For the most part are a stream of self-congratulatory praise of how great my proven decks are. Sure, my cutting sarcasm and wit occasionally generate a chuckle (I still love the Chaos Orb piece) but for the most part, I they all smoosh together into a long wordy rant of why I think this-or-that card is so great and why you should play it too. It’s my own fault. I pretend that everyone who reads my ramblings knows who I am, and has the same preference in play style. I assume everyone plays Casual-Competitive Magic, that they all play 300 card 5-Color decks, highlander style, and they have access to all 10,000+ cards to randomly insert in Deck XYZ at any moment’s notice. Obviously this is untrue. The root of the problem may lie in my core deck: “First Reminder”. I gush on and on about this deck, partly to brag on my collection, and partly to show-off my self-proclaimed cleverness. The deck has gained notoriety (for w...
