I won again tonight. Thats 3 or 4 in a row now. This one was FNM with a slightly larger crowd of 13-16. I'm a little surprised I won. Nothing in the draft itself was seriously in my favor. There were at least 5 draft pros playing. It occurred to me after I got home I'd given my deck to Ian for his little brother to use for his standard deck without writing it down for the blog. I was able to still recite it from memory when I got home which tells you a little about why I won. A lot of people draft...

Some M13 Sealed Thoughts While Preparing for the MOCS

eBay proxy sellers to report. One of these folks took the super art P9 from the blog, edited them to remove the *NOT FOR SALE*, expansion symbol, and WOTC line before attempting to sell them.

Please report to eBay and WOTC.
First fool.
Second fool, the one that's selling my renders.

Proof on that second one being my work:

Salutations Readers,

I thought I would join TheJGits in keeping a log of how my games go at our weekly Legacy Tournament.

16th April:
played Pox; Finished 3rd of 18 Players.
Results: 2-1 vs Maverick, 2-1 vs Elves, 0-1 vs B/W Tokens, 2-0 vs Nivmagus Combo.

R1 Maverick: Lost a game by planing on T2 Ritual-Void but he dropped Teeg and had too many creatures for Blood/SP to clear the board.
G1 & 3: It is a deck with 4 basics so I...

Proxies are a very divisive issue in the Magic community. In my experience most players don't like them, especially when their opponent's proxy good cards. A common phrase I hear goes something like "You didn't win, you had proxies". I would argue the exact opposite. If a player is willing to proxy that means they must have put effort into their deck, but have come up short when picking cards out of their collection. If anything I consider proxies a sign of a good player, one who is willing...

I'm declaring it now before its on SCG. Everyone is stupid. Wasteland Viper is ridiculously good.

I feel like it's been forever since I've written one of these. Even at the store it felt a little awkward for some reason. Maybe it was just one of those off days. We had a small turnout of 8 people.

I was toying with the decklist and aiming for more consistency. Exoclipse and I have been messaging back and forth sharing ideas for the build. I really like the way he's been streamlining the deck. Here's the list I brought:
