I've stopped linking my writing in this thread, since I figure people know about it already.

However.

I think this week's installment about Time Spiral is by far the most important review in my rundown of every block in Magic. So, here it is.

I was secretly hoping for more Weird Wizards

But enough about Ken Nagle.

That doesn't even make any sense.

Yes it does. He continuously puts nonlands from the bottom of the deck to the top, stacking the top with nonlands so that no hand will ever be good. Since players are no longer allowed to cut their deck after their opponent shuffles (I did this in a tournament months back without knowing the rules change and my opponent was like "what are you doing"), there's nothing that can be done unless you catch the actual cheating. And no one did.

I need to start streaming something just so I can kick the poo poo out of everyone else's music selection.

MTG doesn't need to be that more strict than the NFL.

15 yard penalty, you have to play your match three tables away from your opponent.

Hasbro's Q3 earnings call was today. After the 'hearthstone isn't a competitive threat to digital magic' laffs in Q2 I was expecting more but it was pretty tame.
- Q3 revenue >10% higher than Q2 (conspiracy probably didn't sell that well)

Conspiracy outperformed their highest hopes for it.

Speaking of Magic Online, I wrote about how I draft the Holiday Cube.

And by "inclusion of" you mean "return of a feature that worked perfectly TEN YEARS AGO" :argh:

That's what they get for hiring Steve Jobs, Bob Hope, and Johnny Cash as programmers.

For people who care about Magic literature, a friend is reviewing "The Moons of Mirrodin."

Note: it's actually way better for those of you who don't care about magic literature
