New: the blog has been re-envisioned to geek out over my favorite hobby, Magic the Gathering. You've been warned.

I also use Twitter a bit and write poetry on Chapbook.

You can axe me pretty much anything.

My Favorite Modern Play of the Evening

I’m testing my Teachings deck against the random practice room stuff (mono-green Plow Under, really?) and hit my second Storm deck of the night. Here’s the play sequence:

  • I lead off with Thoughtseize and see Gitaxian Probe, 2 lands, Pyretic Ritual, Manamorphose, Seething Song and Pyromancer’s Swath.
  • I choose Probe and he discards.
  • He plays a land and passes.
  • I play a land and pass.
  • He plays a land and passes.
  • I play a land and pass.
  • End step, he plays Telling Time.
  • On his turn, he plays Pyretic Ritual, signaling the go-off.
  • I respond with Esper Charm and he tanks and then discards two.
  • He passes the turn with the Pyretic Ritual mana leaving his pool.
  • I play a land and pass. He concedes.
