Magic: The Gathering. All the Time.
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!
After finding success with the Battle for Zendikar block and its Zendikar Expeditions — a promotional, premium (foil) set of cards randomly inserted into booster packs — Wizards of the Coast has been toying with the idea of possibly continuing the trend in their future blocks/sets. With Kaladesh, their newest release, they will do just that by introducing the Masterpiece Series.
So how will the Masterpiece Series work? Let's take a look...
So, Battle for Zendikar has arrived and people have begun reporting on Expedition Lands, speculating on short-term, long-term investments, and duking it out in the new Meta sans the Theros block. Eldrazi and Allies abound!
But the ravaging intent of the Eldrazi isn't the only fight being brought to the war-ridden lands of Zendikar. The war over how the land shall be remembered in the history books is being waged, if any survive the current threat, and unfortunately the outlook is looking pretty dark...
I'll admit, I've not been one to keep track of the overall story told within the Magic: The Gathering universe, but it seems to be a focus Wizards of the Cost has been pushing for some time now. I read the very first published book (to my knowledge), which featured a protagonist by the name of Garth. I remember his name (I hope that's right...), there were specific schools/houses of magic he was infiltrating, and that I really liked it. I also recall attempting to get through the second book, which seemed completely unrelated, and being unable to do so. That's when I stopped following along, for the most part...

This year's A to Z Challenge is over, but how did I fare with another attempt at producing Flash Fiction and Poetry throughout it all? Did I run into the same complications as last year?
Join me as I reflect on the challenge and the thoughts about my continued participation on Dreams in the Shade of Ink.
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!
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.

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 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!
