Back to (sort of!) health! =D
10 years ago
General
Welp!
Here we are, and I'm happy to say that after a week of coughing up the inner lining of my throat and such, that I'm now back and more or less getting to normal reality and such, or at least I'm back at work, and even having been bedbound for the week and useless, I still got Leslie coming round for our usual time together, I helped her out with her homework assignments, threw on some DVDs and also cracked open the NES that me and Jeri found in a garage sale for 5 bucks, lol
So, yeah, I also apologise for abrupt interruption of my health
Last week also did not go so well for Magic, lol, where in a hope to bolster my spirits, I got my entire Magic quota for Oath of the Gatewatch from its release date, Jeri swung past the store one morning before work and then got me my delivery
Although I've been avoiding buying packs, I do set myself up with a huge preorder to celebrate a set's release and start brewing various concoctions =D
So, one booster box, one fat pack (gotta get the set guide book, lol, not to mention the box and the sealed stuff!) and weirdly, later, two packs that ended up pack wars-ing, lol
Aaaaaaaaaaaand long story short?
My worst ever openings ^^;;; If I did a box opening vid or something like Tolarian does, I think I'd have struggled to get through it, in total, from all of those packs I wound up with only three mythic rare cards, and sadly no shiny expedition cards
I feel a little bleh recounting it, since it IS a game of chance and all, but it did kinda suck that half way through ripping wrappers I actually was starting to feel down, ended up running to the net to come up with ideas to help me go through it
Upside was at least, in the final pack I finally had my encounter with Kozilek:

Butcher of Truth indeed
So at least it ended on a higher note, lol
Welp, Magic-wise, I may not have gained much luck, but at least, I did find a great get well present that arrived after a long round trip from
Manarat
Sooooo, care package there, with time to recover, I spent much of my time with sadly less than optimum efficiency, I confess I didn't manage much of anything, although, have a lil story I might try and see if I can make out anything of
I have tried to doodle with the tablet, but feel like I'm still out of practise there, I scribbled and scribbled but found nothing worth sharing sadly, see if I can rattle some more on that and see what we can come up with =B
Besides that, not much else I can think to holler other than things are getting back to track and we'll see just how quick we can find a rhythm here!

FA+

Still, luck is luck. Although it'll be a while before we can try the booster box game again, lol
Menace is a new evergreen mechanic that covers when a creature can't be blocked by just one blocker, so, must be blocked by two or more critters =B
The symbols however, are COLORLESS
Yeah, lol, forever Wizards has been trying to fight what happens in artifact and Eldrazi blocks where players just play all the most busted cards since Y'know, they're colorless, they can go in any deck
So now, if you want to play the Eldrazi and their otherworldly no-colorness you actually need some way of creating colorless mana
It also kinda draws a line I the sand to differentiate colorless and generic mana so folks don't get confused =B
What all games do yall have?
