Gottacon 2012: the good, the bad, the ugly/
So after an exhausting, exhilarating, and very roller coaster Gottacon weekend, I’ve decided to write a tourney report on the weekend as a whole. I will say I have been to gotta con three years in a row, and this was the most fun I have had [...]

Hi.
good to see you again. I had a lovely time in eastern Canada, but yes, I am glad to be home. Strange though it may sound after returning from a magic-oriented trip, I’m fiending to get some games in. I only played 12 matches the whole weekend. that’s like the number of matches I normally [...]

A Pictorial Report of PT Austin, part 1 by Albert and Nelson

A Pictorial Report of PT Austin, part 1 by Albert and Nelson

I applied to be a judge at Canadian Nationals, and John Carter picked me among 3 judges from BC to fly out to Toronto. Will, Max, and I were the lucky ones, and we all flew out within two rows of each other on the same plane.

The original plan here was to cover all of our daily Japanese adventures, culminating in the PT. However, that is seeming a little daunting right now and I’m kinda guess you guys are most interested in the magical bits anyways. Really, the most noteworthy story I have is the day that Tambo got sick and ducked out of the bamboo forest for some shut eye.

So following the smash success “Shadowmoor limited so far” in which I caught a lot of flack for repping Helm of the Ghastlord, I have decided to write the followup article Shards of Alara limited so far! I have done more sealed deck tournaments than drafts so some of what I’m telling you may be a little off point but please bear with me.

My PTQ Kyoto experience is likely a unique one that I figure would be somewhat wasted if not recorded in the tomes of history. In light of this, the following article will attempt to relate the events that transpired on October 11, 2008.

I’ve decided I’m an expert at SSS draft. I’ve fallen 30 points on modo down to a tidy 1806, and yes I said fallen. Some people might interpret this as being BAD at a draft format… which may be true.
