This game has been my hobby now for more than 30 years. I often wonder why I keep coming back again and again to this game. I’ve learned countless other games. I like many other types of activities from running and skiing to cooking and programming. And yet, this game has been a recurring passion.…

This was my first chance to break the ice and draft my new Ice Age cube that I recently assembled. I’d played Cory’s ALICE cube before, and written up about casting Stormbind and summoning Polar Kraken. I was so inspired I wanted to build my own ALICE cube, but I hadn’t played it yet. Brian…

My path to lichdom has been a long and winding one. I’d been in search of an exciting, casual deck that creates fun games for both players regardless of the outcome. I surveyed people informally on discord on what were their favorite ways to lose a game. Games are always more fun when you’re winning,…

It’s been a long time coming. Despite living in Colorado, I hadn’t been able to make either of the two previous Yeticons. I had family stuff both good and bad that lined up with the dates, so I had always been on the outside looking in. I’ve got a young kid at home so I…

I often think back to my early days playing Magic, and the mystery that those cards held for me. I’ve now been playing Old School longer than I played the first time around. But those first memories have stuck with me after all these years. This is my origin story. Back in those days, I…

It’s 4 am on Friday and I’ve got a flight from Denver to Dallas at noon. Our dog is sick, and I’ve been taking her out every 2 hours through the night. It’s been snowing non-stop since Wednesday. At first, I was happy that I decided to fly rather than make the drive down…
