I might as well write about it.

I have been a Magic: The Gathering player since Ice Age was released in 1995. While I do not have a huge collection of cards, I’ve maintained enough cards and interest to be able to play competative decks in local tournaments and to casually play with friends. While I don’t consider myself pro-caliber, I like to think I’m pretty good at the game. Before I tackle writing about some of the current decks I’m playing and such, I’d like to introduce myself to the readers as a player.

I am a Timmy-Spike whose favorite color is green. I like to play and win with flashy spells and big creatures.

My favorite format is Limited Booster Draft; some of the neatest decks are a result of a draft table. Next to drafting I’m a huge fan of Extended and Legacy. I like Extended for the smaller card pool, allowing some strategies and cards to be executed that are simply out-powered by what’s available in Legacy. Extended also has the benefit of being supported much more than Legacy. Not to say they don’t have Legacy events, its just they have Extended SEASONS. I only get into Standard if the block interests me; for example, Lorwyn did not interest me, but Shards of Alara looks really awesome. Mind you, I will play a draft in any block, but I’ll only play Standard occasionally.

If you are a Magic player in the Southwest Missouri region and find yourself at Dirt Road Comics, you just might see me there!
