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.

This derby has been my most fun ever. I didn’t make the Top 16 sadly, but I ended up in 22nd place, leading the hearty 5-3 cohort with a 71% OMW%. Every single one of my games and matches was incredible with wild swings and haymakers both ways, and every opponent was fun and engaging,…
