I like your stuff. Very honest and modest and you focus on that little thread that ties us together as a community of geeks that I think gets so easily lost in the virtual spilling of golem and elf blood in our sad little world.
James I feel like this is probably a good time to inform you of my return to magic, I’m playing on my Byerton account. This article really articulates why this game has been in my life for so long, and you are absolutely right it is the formats like 5-color and then Hi-5 and the weekend roadtrips to GP’s and opens that made it so much fun, not grinding away in front of the computer. And just to touch on my last minute audible to run white weenine for 2005 regionals, I’m sure the extra sleep helped but really what it came down to was that I wanted to play a deck that I felt comfortable with and was familiar with, and I think it was somewhat of a rogue deck for that tournament that most of my opponents weren’t prepared to deal with (not playing tooth and nail a single round helped too). Also I remember you didn’t do so hot because one early round you took 19 damage from a double striker and trusted you opponents math without checking it :P, it was only 18 damage. I also think having the players like Travis, Nate Price, Nick Little, Segal, etc. really helped us as young players, I know personally that those guys played a large part in where my motivations were towards the end years of high school, and it is all because of that human connection that you emphasize so much.
