Yes! You're absolutely right! It is time for me to do another blog!
I have obviously take a long hiatus from the blog. It seems to me that this was because I bit off a little more than I could chew. Honestly, once a week is a bit much for a guy like me. After working and cleaning and taking care of a Young'un (as the natives here in Tennessee so quaintly call them), I'm beat! And it takes the better part of a week to write these things, since I can only devote a couple hours a night. I have standards of quality, you know.
So, here's the new new gameplan. Biweekly. Once every two weeks, and in Blue Moons (please don't hold me to that, I have no actual idea of when or how often a Blue Moon actually occurs). This gives me two things: More time to figure out what I'm writing about; and more time to think about what I decided I will be writing about. Sound good? I'll assume your silence is a 'yes'. Good.
I do have an agenda, though. There are a couple topics I want to cover in the coming weeks.
1. Cartoons. As much as I could possibly help it, I didn't want this blog to become a strictly Magic blog. Although its close to it, I feel obligated to keep that unspoken promise to myself now and again. So I'll take a topical look at some cartoons I've recently invested way more time in than I initially planned. Which ones? You'll see.
2. Tournament Formats. Formats can be complicated. Especially to a new or very casual player. So we'll explore the DCI Sanctioned Tournament Formats and some prominent decks for each one.
3. Comprehensive Rules Tips. Some things are confusing about interactions between cards in Magic. Some just get so crazy that its hard to grasp. Others are enables only by finer points and nuances in the Comprehensive Rulebook. Things like Priority, Layering, Copying, The Stack, Resolution, and just when to do what. We'll examine some of the FAQs my readers have, and I'll do my best to address them!
Until then, stay sharp, keeps your decks on hand, and be absolutely sure to check out the latest and greatest game on my personal friends originally named site, Reviews of Games!
