This past weekend I played in the first Friday Night Magic I have played in for quite some time. The last time I played standard on a Friday night was when I sleeved up Kithkin for one last hurrah! Coincidentally that was when I realized I hated playing a deck that had no answers to combo outside 4 Path to Exiles and because of it I dropped a few matches to Quillspike and Progenitus.dec. Generally speaking I like to play control...

Thought Hemorrhage: Mother May I? (Zendikar Triggers)

This past week I turned 21 and “coincidentally” failed one of the biggest tests of my collegiate career; even so, that is a story for another time. Turning 21 was fun and now it’s over.

The guys at GGslive had an excellent cast joined by none other then famed deck...

First off before we get into the bulk of the article I just want to say that I was extremely happy and excited that Kibler came back from 0-2 in the quarterfinals of PT: Austin and actually ended up winning it. I still don't think I rate it as highly as Gabriel Nassif's personal PT win in Kyoto, but it is nice to see another of the games greats finally getting their due, especially after a break from the game. Now for...
