Magic: the Addiction

So, way back in the last millennium, I played Magic for a while, until I drifted away from the group I was playing with and didn't have any regular contact with it.

A couple of weeks ago, Rioan mentioned that he plays.  So I brought a few decks to coffee early and we played a few games.  It awakened my latent obsession, and I've been spending way too much time on the web looking at all the stuff they've done since then.

I went to Friday Night Magic at Armored Gopher Games, my friendly local game store, tonight, and played in a booster draft tourney.  I came in second at my table and actually won a small prize, and I'm playing in the prerelease event for Magic 2012 tomorrow.

Either wish me luck or smack me, I'm not sure which.  If anyone local who still plays reads this, let me know.  Or anyone who wants to talk magic.

MtA Prerelease

I went to the prerelease event.  I had fun and I did pretty well -- I came in 5th or 6th overall out of 35 players.  My prize for placing well was 6 more boosters, with a retail value of $24, plus a door prize with an $8.99 price tag.  It would have been better if I had been able to sleep decently last night.  Tomorrow will be so much fun.
