		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s  the end of the Worlds as know it. Today started early. I set my alarm for 7am so that I could be to the site in plenty of time to see the opening ceremonies and the HOF induction. I caught the 49 bus to Fort Mason. This reminded me vividly how much nicer the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new set means a new binder, which for me means a new set of page inserts: Page_Inserts-Innistrad.pdf. Innistrand was interesting because of the dual face cards: they are each two unique cards as far as the card database is concerned. Some work was needed to deal with them (i.e. have on insert per DFC [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently got the set of 5 commander decks to jumpstart my reentry into playing EDH&#8230; um&#8230; Commander. The Counterpunch deck especially caught my attention, so I sleeved it up and started digging into it. I dug through my stash of tokens to pull out what the deck needed: Zombies from M11, Soldiers from SOM, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;d been planning to write about it, so I figured now was the time. Early in my relationship with Magic, as my collection was outgrowing [...]]]></description>

I played in a ton of small events at SuperStars/ChannelFireball, including a PTQ (if memory serves) and Regionals one year. I even top8ed a sealed 1K (or something similar).

It&#8217;s been good and I&#8217;ve greatly enjoyed working with Jon, Zaiem, Luis, and the rest.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m writing this from memory so some details are likely a bit off. I was very vaguely aware of Magic: the Gathering when I was in grad school (my undergrad days ended a bit before Magic had made it&#8217;s appearance). Very vaguely aware. It&#8217;s just as well because, while I&#8217;m sure I would have taken [...]]]></description>

A friend and I did a Winston with some Zendikar boosters. for the first half of the drafting I was thinking of going UW. Then, about half way though, the black cards started showing [...]]]></description>

It might be good practice for the upcoming sealed league I&#8217;m running at work. And why not write it up while I was at it. It might be interesting to [...]]]></description>

This time it started with a contest for The hottest girl in Magic with a call for photos that Nerds would analyze in detail. Contest or collecting spank bank material?
