So… Eh?

I had to crack three boxes to assemble a playset of uncommons. That’s not a terrible amount. That leaves me three boxes to play with. I will use those to test for limited most likely.

Highlights of my three boxes include 3 Flooded Groves which I needed for constructed and a foil Wake Thrasher. I’ll probably trade the Thrasher for more cards.

I was stuck at work late and missed block night. I will try to get in some MWS testing tonight.

It’s Here

About time …

Eventide Case On Its Way

According to StarCity my booster case of Eventide is out for delivery. The usual plan is to crack packs until I have a playset of uncommons and then save the rest to draft.

Tonight is block constructed and I need a few ‘tide cards to play. I’m sure someone can lend them to me. Decklist coming later this afternoon.

Welcome to iGoyf

Welcome to iGoyf, a semi-live Magic the Gathering blog.  Like all aspiring Magic players I realize that writing more about the game will make me a better player.  However, I don’t always have the time to write about my game-play and analyze all my decisions when I get home from a tournament, or the next day.  What to do, what to do?  Then I got a new iPhone and started browsing the applications.  I found the WordPress application and knew what I had to do.

The primary posts from this blog will come from the Magic tournaments I attend live via my iPhone.  This way I can write about an entire tournament over the course of several entries.  A draft night might begin with an entry highlighting the key cards from my pool and my final deck list followed by entries after each round recapping my performance.  Constructed events will begin with the deck list and subsequently include reports from each round.

So there you have it.  Usually I play magic at least once a week at Friday Night Magic (Sealed).  However, I will often play two, three or even more tournaments a week.  In addition I play plenty of magic online including testing of constructed decks on MWS and drafting on MTGO.  Also, I will be happy to post my thoughts when I play pack wars with my girlfriend.  It’s very exciting.
In the next few days I’ll post my first opinions on playing Eventide in limited.  Until then, stay shiny.
