All the Glitters is not Gold...

...except in my cube now. I recently placed and order through some of my favorite Magic online retails or basically foiled out almost all of my gold, hybrid, artifact, and land cards. With my so-call "focus on multicolor" I really wanted it to stand out in sharp contrast to all of the monocolored cards I've added recently.

"Cards I've added?" you ask? Some slivers, as promised, and some significant upgrades across all the colors. I will be making a sweeping update to my list of cards, as well as finishing a spreadsheet detailing the breakdown by color, type, and print version (i.e. set, foil, FNM, or other information pertinent) to post for anyone who cares.

"[W]ho cares" is a phrase that leads me to ask something of anyone reading this: if you're into Magic and want to see more information please add yourself as a follower for this blog. I'm going to list some pretty convincing reasons now:

1. I'm an average guy doing something that isn't quite as average as you think. Also, I'm just as bad at Magic as you.
2. This is just the beginning of the story; there will be significantly deeper analysis of cards along with commentary, feedback, and support from players who can actually play this game.
3. Magic 2010 is bringing a shitload of rules changes to Magic. This actually isn't a reason to follow me but it's worth stating it if, by some miraculous failure, you're hearing it from me first.
4. This stuff is downright fun, and not just a "Oh, cool." kind of fun: this fun is the kind that makes you think "Huh. I never would have tried that." and "Holy shit. That's a common!" It's an addictive process of evaluation and trial (and lots of errors on my part) and you need to experience it, even if it's just vicariously through my posts.

Well, there you have it: four great reasons to follow me. I will throw a secret fifth reason out there for those of you who really, really read this: I will give you a fun card just for being one of the first three followers. Follow me and I'll pass along something special; details to follow in an email (because you have to follow me first)!
