MtG: I have returned!!

That's right, true believers, Executorazmin's return to the Magic world. It took awhile, but it's been worth the wait.

I've clocked two drafts of 2 Ravnica-1 Guildpact so far this month, and the experience has been both entertaining AND exhiliarating. More importantly, the camaraderie often displayed in our get-togethers contine to remain evident throughout the draft! Need to draft with Joe!

My scores so far read 2-1, and 1-2. BUT, despite losing twice, my 2nd draft was certainly a lot more interesting. I drafted Black-Blue-White, a very controllish version with a strategy of discard-milling. Unfortunately, I was unable to hold back a tide of fast aggro creatures generated by Raj and Loco, and consequently crashed and burned.

Nevertheless, thanks to our method of prize division (2-1-1-onwards) I still went away with a Glimpse, a card I was silly enough not to take when it came around the first time. Naturally, it didn't come back...

A small highlight for me was the fact that the packs are now labelled Age: 13+. I was astounded, to say the least. I'm pretty sure, that the NZ National Champion of a few years back was, what, 10??? Turns out the reason for the age floor was due to the more, shall we say, visually appealing, cards apparent in the set. I certainly had no issue, being a sucker for cards with hot chicks who have no problem prancing around in the Magic fantasy world with tight clothing budgets.

So, my target for my return to the tournament scene is the GP Trials at the end of the month. Haveta miss out on the PTQ this weekend though, off to Batu Pahat with my cuz. Will fill you in on the details of my road trip when I come back. Till then, have a good weekend!
