    Read the fine print

    So, I was really excited about the release of the new Lord of the Rings set for Arena, but was shocked to find that the only cards that are available are for the alchemy format. So, I did a little Googling and found that is the only format that it's being released for on Arena. So much for...

    Fantasy other sports?

    I've been wondering if there is any interest in starting up fantasy leagues for sports other than (American) football? Sure, football has less games than the other sports, but I would love to get down with a fantasy hockey league, or maybe baseball (not basketball - hate that sport).

    Happy LGTBQ Awareness month!

    Now, I knows that I'm a week too late, but while many states' governments are trying to make life hard for those that follow non-cis/straight/whatever lifestyles, we still have a whole month dedicated to them. I haven't seen WotC do anything to celebrate it, but then again, I just got back into...

    What was he thinking?

    Back in days of yore nearly thirty years ago, a math professor named Richard Garfield created a game to teach his kids math. Believe it or not, that's the real origin of Magic: The Gathering. It would become a highly addictive game that would allow its publisher Wizards of the Coast to dominate...

    MTG Arena and the general lack of imagination of today's youth

    /Begin Rant So, I finally got back into playing MTG:Arena and got a few cards from the recent sets and thought that I'd create a few original decks - unfortunately, I appear to be the only player that seems to enjoy doing that. I can count on one hand (after severing two fingers) the most...

    Betty White

    Sadly, the "First Lady of Television" has passed on today a mere seventeen days prior to her 100th birthday. The world of entertainment (not to mention the world itself) is a little emptier...

    I'm bored - let's discuss COVID

    We're about two years into the pandemic and things don't seem to be getting better- at least not in the world of politics. On one side you have people advising everyone to get vaccinated and imposing mandates on use of masks and required vaxes. On the other side, you have people saying that...

    To those that recently were on the MTG Arena Forums...

    WELCOME! Things have been a little slow lately, but if you have anything (and I mean anything) to say, jump in. Find an old thread and say something. Have fun!

    Magic Arena Forums Going Bye Bye

    I was just doing my daily look at the forums for Arena and the first post I saw stated that they're being closed permanently and replaced with a Discord channel. Yeah, an open chat feature is a perfect replacement for an open discussion message board...I'd advertise the CPA there, but that's...

    The war is over!

    After nearly two decades of war in Afghanistan, the United States has decided to pull out of their largest base, Bagram. Of course, no sooner than the last plane is in the air, the local show up to loot everything that isn't nailed down. Reminds me of what happened to a couple of bases I worked...

    Magic meets D&D - and not in a good way

    I've been getting my daily emails from WotC about the cards that are going to be published in their next set that revolves around Forgotten Realms and all I can say is "Can you get any greedier?" Nothing like ramming two of your major products together in the most violent way and while it makes...

    Happy Memorial Day

    While everyone is out at barbecues, hanging with their family and friends (at a proper social distance, of course), or just watching Tv, take a moment to remember all of the people that fought to keep the peace in these uncertain times (and I'm not talking about all of the Soldier creatures...

    Strixhaven: the most dull set since Homelands

    Now, this might be just because I took a fifteen year hiatus from the game, or because I only play on Arena, but Strixhaven has to be one of the least exciting sets I've seen in a while. No exciting rares to build decks around, boring new mechanics that might be useful, and once again they're...

    Kamala Harris

    So, I've been reading a lot about Biden's running mate, Kamala Harris on a lot of sites, and it's hilarious. Now, we know that Biden could nominate his pet rock and still get elected at this point, but he's taking a risk by nominating a woman that happens to be African American - well, actually...
