Senor Orgg has been pestering me to join up for some time. Here I am. I realize this means little to the rest of you, but, hey, one doesn't get famous overnight, yes?
Anyway, hi, all.

NO!!!!! HE IS THE DEVIL SPAWN BROUGHT FORTH TO US BY ORGG!!!!!!!!! WE MUST SMITE HIM NOW OR FACE TERRIBLE RETRIBUTION IN THE FORM OF MAN-EATING BISCUITS!!!!!!!!
*An intern hands Ransac a piece of paper. Ransac reads it*
My bad, it seems there was a typo. Actually, it states here that he is actually a biscuit-eating man, although he does enjoy other fine foods as well.
Uh...... VOTE RANSAC/MONKEY 2004!!!!!

Mmmm...rubber biscuits...
I've never actually met Orgg, we just chat and play on MTGO a bit, when I can find time. I feel very qelcomed here. [/bandwagon]
As for the Dirt thing, that's the title of an article I wrote that Orgg took a fancy to.

Brilliant summary of what most of us should've realized by now, but just havn't.
Much like my 'land' article, but this one gets to the point and doesn't meander verbosely... as I would've if I'd have realized The Power of Dirt.

Several years. How long have I been published? Just the once. I tend to think of most of my stuff as utter poo, so I don't generally submit. That was the one article that I felt was timely and relevant, so I went ahead and sent it in. I've got a half finished follow up to it, but I also have a two month old baby, so you can imagine where my time is spent.
I am thinking about doing some articles on MTGO casual formats, specifically Prismatic. I don't know if there's much interest in a deck deconstruction of 250+ card decks, though.

I look forward to seeing you on the front page, man!
The CPA will love to have anything y'feel like wrighting-- even if it's a bit old and/or out of date. If it's a Magic Related read and even slightly entertaining, we'll take it and like it.
...we just lucked out greatly with SeFRo, as his stuff is top snuff, but StarCity doesn't want 'em because the general audience doesn't 'get' him.

Use a ten-foot pole and you'll "get" him.
Dunno why you'd have a pole made from ten feet lying around though... those are pretty rare now-a-days.

Welcome, man! You should write about teaching your baby how to play Magic. Is Portal so dumbed down that even an infant can understand it? Probably. Prove it through scientific testing!
Um...thanks, Orgg. Thanks a ton. The problem Star City has with me isn't anything personal, as Ferrett was on quite good terms with me, and Knut is neutral. Their readers though...whoa! They hate the fact that I'm currently suspended from the DCI. Such a vocal flamer troll site of hate, those forums of theirs. So that outcry caused Knut to reject my stuff no matter what. They do have sales to look out for, after all.

Welcome - I think I've seen you online while I was lurking around Orgg before...
remember the force is with you...

Unfortunately, the two guys most interested in Prismatic have been gone for a while (Dune Echo and someone else), but you might be able to get some interest if you post about it. I was interested but my group would never go for it... too complicated to build a deck in the short time we have to play (they tend to build their decks when they come to play, not during "offtime").
Congrats with the baby, I know how that is too Have a 21 month daughter myself.

All right. I grabbed a handful of cards and headed over to the crib. I held up Serra Angel. That got a smile. Tried a Skullclamp. He looked away. Next up was a foil Kamahl's Sledge. He actually giggled at that, but it might have just been because it was shiny. Showed him a Chimney Imp next. He giggled again and reached for it.Originally posted by SeFRo

Conclusion: He's interested in Magic, but his card valuation sucks. I'm going to throw away Grover's "Monster at the End of the Book" and start reading to him from Randy Buehler's card pointing article. It's the only way.
