A to Z 2017: JOURNEY INTO NYX

We're finally back to some booster pack openings and today we have Journey Into Nyx of the Theros block! This entire set revolved heavily around God characters and enchantments. I recall drafting once or twice, but it may have just been Theros. Either way, I'm looking for some Gods of the foil variety:

Well, we got half way there. Given some of these most recent booster pack opening videos haven't been the best, I'm really happy with the pulls I got from Journey Into Nyx. The rare and mythics I got were probably worth more when the set was in the Standard format, but they are still decent. Although, I'm afraid they may be reprinting these Gods soon and what little value they've held will plummet.

I still can't decide on Kaladesh or Khan's of Tarkir for tomorrow... if you happen across this before then, any preference? I may be leaning more towards Khans of Tarkir and possibly a Kaladesh Fat Pack after the challenge.

Do you currently play Magic: The Gathering? Are you a fan of Journey Into Nyx? 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 [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!

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!
