Hooked!















Actual quote - "Do you want to open up a bottle of wine, sit on the terrace and play some Magic?" - Wendy

Note - I gave her the White deck with the Serra Angels and she hated it. She played four games with it. Hated it! I gave her the Green deck with the Force of Nature and the Durkwood Boars and she likes it much better.

She looked through the decks I had made. All mono color. White, Red, Green, Black. I explain the theme of each one, illustrating this with cards in the deck like Force of Nature, Castle, Terror, Incinerate.

Wendy - "Aren't there five colors of Magic?"
Jamie - "Nope, there's only four."
Wendy - "But on the back of the cards it..."
Jamie - "Who is the Magic expert here?"
Wendy - "Well, you are but..."
Jamie - "Four colors."

    Man, I don't know why more women don't play Magic. Boobs are such an unfair advantage!

    Four colors!?!? Don't let him fool you Wendy.... there is one more color that is equal to other colors put together. He just has not been able to get past that fact for years!!

    hey guys,

    So I finally got back into Boston after a decade of traveling and then I slept for the next four days. Boston still hasn't changed, same old same old. We went to the North End (i.e. Italian section of Boston) and everything closed by 2. It was so annoying. Anyways, hope you guys enjoying Madrid and if you ever want to visit a Sushi place in Boston, let me know because I am already scopping the place for the best.

    P.S. The names of the games my brother was playing were Runescape and Diablo. Do those ring any bells?

    Un beso,

    Albina

    Ironroot Treefolk! In multiples, nonetheless. Gah. Go spend 0.20 on some Blanchwood Treefolk.

    But of course back then at least the flavor text was truly worth reading...

Army Magic

As requested. Army magic was a variant that the old "Team Quarterstaff" invented years ago and I published an article about it in Scrye. Army Magic: A Multi-Player Variant By Jamie C. Wakefield Axelrod Gunnarson glared out over his barbarous and supernatural army. The foul smelling Karplusan Yeti’s; the Sengir Vampires flying high above; the myriad wizards, clerics and monsters that made up his forces. How the Angels and the Elves held out for so long against him was vexing and inconceivable. He had long ago crushed Palladia-Mors and his Goblins and Dragons. Soon after that, he had defeated the nigh unstoppable Lord of Tresserhorn and his army of Merfolk, Doppelgangers, and Zombies. But still Asmira and her Angels resisted him. If only he could lure them away from her accused Castle, he would have them! But as long as she and her followers remained behind the mystic walls there was little his army could do. For now he would have to wait, and plan. There are many variations fo

Magic

Wendy and I have just had a long talk. I am getting back into Magic and making a run for the title. My goal this time isn't going to be to get back on the Pro Tour, but to win a Pro Tour. Secret Force: Quest for the Pro Tour II will be available in early June. The reason for this is I need to proof the physical copy of the book that is sent to my house in Vermont and we will be there June 2nd. I will be playing Magic Online until we go home then playing physically anywhere I can find a game while there. When we return to Spain in September I will be playing at a local shop a half kilometer away and writing about playing Spanish Magic with a limited vocabulary.

Greed and the One Percenters

It is baffling, and sad, to me that part of the world thinks that profit > all, even at the expense of human dignity.  It gnaws at me every day when I go to a chain gas station or a McDonalds or any other place where I know corporate profits are > everything else in the world. Why can't McDonald's pays its workers more? We all know they can. We all can pay a dime more for a Big Mac. It's like this everywhere. In the UFC, Dana White was brilliant at bringing the sport to mainstream America and generating hundreds of millions of dollars for the Fertitta brothers, who were already billionaires. And even though they could pay their fighters more, they don't. The last payroll for the last event was under a million dollars. The UFC is like the NFL of fighting. The number one organization. Some of the guys that make it there get paid 2k to fight. Meanwhile, Dana and the brothers are gambling away millions at the tables in Vegas.   Yes, I know how the right will respo
