I really like Magic the Gathering.
I like playing it. I like collecting it. I like hanging out with other people that like playing it. I really like playing it a lot. I haven’t been playing it nearly enough since I moved to California.
It’s not exactly cheap to collect and I don’t feel I’m getting my money’s worth since I’m not playing much. Also, to be honest, I’m not that good at it… again since I’m not playing much.
As the dawn of another set looms on the calendar, I see two options: give it up, or play A LOT MO’ MAGIC!
So when Superstars moved to their new location (which is so much easier for me to get to/from) I decided to go with door #2.
To get things started, I’ll be at the prerelease this weekend… for a minimum of 3 flights (so up to 15 consecutive hours)… and possibly more on Sunday… and an outside chance of a midnight flight on friday night.
That’s A LOT MO’ MAGIC!!
And that’s just the beginning.

Tonight we got together for some Lorwyn-Lorwyn-Morningtide drafting, as Peter had some packs left from the spring. It was a bit odd as there were just 4 of us, but fun none the less. I was pleased with how I did. Here’s my deck:
I played Eric and his UW deck first. The game must have gone on for an hour at least. At the end he had 13 cards in his library and I had 12… thankfully I kept his Jace just short of milling me. The game finally ended when I sent everything in, four 1/1s against Jace (who had 10 loyalty counters iirc) and the rest against Eric. Paying 5 to the Pride added 5 points of damage and 5 tokens for a total of 9 points of damage to Eric. A post combat Notorious Throng added 9 1/1 flyers to my side of the board… more than enough at that point. Game over.
I went 1-2 with Jeff.. the last game being great fun. An awesome top-deck turned the game around on his last turn.
So I went 2-2 on games for the night… better than my usual record. I’m happy with how I drafted and how I played.
