Given that I’m new to Tumblr and I haven’t really got much to talk about, I don’t think I know what to say in this first post. Sucks to know that there’s no one following me right now, and maybe you will after reading this (but probably, you won’t).
Who am I? I’m 25, and until about a week ago I thought I used to play Magic: the Gathering a lot when I was a kid. I realized just a few minutes earlier that that was in an alternate reality; when I was in high school, I was too caught up with Total Annihilation, Diablo, Starcraft, and Counter-Strike (the Half-Life mod, but you already knew that, I think) to even have time to play Magic: the Gathering.
Perhaps the earlier assumption that I played MTG a lot back then was the discovery of my stash of cards (I have a sucky card pool consisting of commons and rares alike from 4th Edition, Alliances, Urza’s Saga, Ice Age, Tempest, and Mirage), including a pre-constructed (and not tournament-ready) reanimation deck from Urza’s Saga.
I used to think Somnophore and Abyssal Horror were great because they sported that gold Urza’s Saga icon. Hard lessons from the battlefield taught me that greatness does not follow a card’s rarity. I think every MTG player who spent five games at least should know that.
Enough about my crappy MTG history. I’m this tumblelog’s broodwarden. Welcome spawns! +2/+1 to everyone!
