My Apologies

Just wanted to apologize for the lack of content lately as I can't seem to tear myself away from World of Warcraft (which I've recently started playing).

At this point I have to say that, sadly, I'm lacking the interest to continue my YotD series of decklists and it will have to be either postponed or cancelled until further notice.

On a positive note though, I still have full intentions of doing a spoiler and review post for RTR when it is completely spoiled though the review probably won't be too in depth. I'll most likely just cover the legends and any other potential EDH bombs that I see.

On another positive note, Rogues in WoW are completely broken and I'm having a blast sneaking up behind people unseen then stunlocking and doing massive damage before they can even respond. I hear Death Knights are also pretty OP and will have to get around to making one perhaps when I'm bored of my rouge.

Some of you out there may see this as adultery but I will remind you that the holy trinity of geekdom is MtG, WoW and D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) which I would like to play but have been unable to get enough people who are interested. It is also worth mentioning that my friends and I who were interested are all complete newbies to D&D and it would probably help if we had someone more experienced to guide us. Anyway I'm babbling at this point.

Bottom line: RTR Spoilers & Review - Coming soon to an academy near you! ;-)

Stay tuned and stay cool!

Thanks for reading, 'till next time.

Brief Intermission: Return to Ravnica

Taking a little pause between my YotD theme decks to talk a little about the upcoming Return to Ravnica set. In my excitement I decided to take one of those zany personality tests to see which guild suited me best.
I wasn't surprised to see that my answers to the test led me to:


Seriously, how cool is the Simic Guild? Designing your own creatures to adapt to any environment. For me personally I'd probably just stick to designing my own ideal pet or something but the idea of the Simic guild is one that intrigues me.

Okay, maybe I answered some of the questions knowing that the test result would be Simic but that doesn't mean that the answers weren't true! ;-)

Anyway, RTR is shaping up so far to be a pretty cool set. It has been confirmed that each guild will again have its own mechanic, however, none of the old keywords are making an appearance.

Populate is looking like the Selesnya keyword and it involves creating copies of creature tokens you control.

Now, as some of you may know the Simic Guild had disbanded and its leader, Momir Vig, was killed in dissension but I'm hoping they make a reappearance, though it won't be in RTR as the five guilds they are focusing on are: Azorius, Izzet, Rakdos, Golgari, and Selesnya.

I'm actually feeling a little inspired to make a Momir Vig deck but if I do it will be after our look at the Invasion and Planar Chaos dragons. Which I will try to wrap up as soon as possible but I make no promises. ;-)


Stay tuned for Dromar!

Thank you for reading, 'till next time.
