A to Z 2017: DRAGONS OF TARKIR

I think a lot of people, including myself, were excited for Dragons of Tarkir, a set within the Khans of Tarkir block and hyper-focused on the dragon creature type. Dragons are always a fan favorite within the Magic community, especially casual players. I was never able to play the set, so there is a good chance that some dragons were good enough to see competitive play!

So far I've been spoiled with my pack openings, but I wouldn't argue against more:

Hmm...

Well, definitely not the best, but I'm glad I got at least one foil. Other cards that I thought would be worthwhile ended up being fairly worthless. At least in terms of value, not playability! I'm still happy with the pulls the look like they'd be fun to play with. Maybe I'll get some better cards in the next batch.

Do you currently play Magic: The Gathering? Are you a fan of Dragons of Tarkir? If so, what's your favorite new card and/or ability/mechanic from the set? Do you like dragons in Magic? Do you have a favorite dragon? 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!
