A to Z 2017: THEROS

Welcome to our final booster pack opening video for this A to Z series! Theros introduced Gods to Magic: The Gathering. There are fifteen spread among the entire Theros block and I'm not sure if they're worth anything anymore, but I think I'm hoping to pull one of them or a planeswalker. The dual lands, Scry Lands, are also in the block. Personally, I just want a foil for the final video:

Whoops, I cut off the video a bit early, but I couldn't exactly redo it. It may be the last video for the A to Z Challenge, but not for Meta MTG overall!

Well, no foils. Unfortunately Scry Lands aren't worth anything anymore. Maybe over time their value will increase. If they aren't reprinted. Either way, that was a sad batch (Journey Into Nyx was marginally better). I may have to open some Eternal Masters or a fat/bundle pack or something! Once I finish up the rest of this challenge that is...

Do you currently play Magic: The Gathering? Are you a fan of Theros? If so, what's your favorite card and/or ability/mechanic from the set? Have you come across any Gods? If so, which? Were you a fan of the Scry Lands? Did you enjoy the booster pack opening video? Any tips or thoughts on how to improve them?

Hello, Friend

It’s been a long while. I briefly discuss some of this year’s shortcomings, and in doing so, find it’s just more of the same.

Then I attempt to give a more positive spin…

Extra Life Game Day 2021

Extra Life Game Day 2021 has arrived! It’s Year 8 for myself and I am looking forward to once again raise money for Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare. Team Cryton Crusaders is ready (kind of) for the annual fundraising event involving a 24-Hour Gaming Marathon! I kept last year’s fun, but likely impossible Milestone to reach!

Learn more about the challenge where my team and I play games and heal kids!

A to Z 2017: ZACHARIAH

Dreams in the Shade of Ink is back with more Flash Fiction for the A to Z Challenge 2017! Last year my segments throughout April painted a puzzled tapestry of prose and I hope to provide some new, entertaining stories that you'll enjoy!

Come share in my inky dreams full of fiction, sprinkled with poetry!

A to Z 2017 [MAGIC MIXER]: REFLECTIONS

The A to Z Challenge 2017 is over and it's time to reflect on how the event went! There were booster pack openings, there were storylines and mechanics to observe within the world of Magic: The Gathering!

Join me as I discuss the ups and downs of this year's Magic Mixer theme.

A to Z 2017: ZENDIKAR

This year for the A to Z Challenge 2017 Meta MTG presents the Magic Mixer! What's that mean? Your guess is as good as mine... What I do know, however, is that this year's theme is obviously still all about Magic: The Gathering!

Join me as I attempt to highlight a different Magic set each day of the challenge in different ways, from pack openings to discussions about a set's storyline and/or mechanics!
