Really Jonesing to goldfish the new Sek'Kuar EDH with my old Numot EDH. Realize I don't have 99 sleeves of the same color. Shuffle 'em up bareback anyway. Sek'Kuar killed Numot five times. Like the general Numot. As in, "I am casting Numot again... for 14 mana." Sek'Kuar: "Nekraatal it on my turn."
Key turn: Sek'Kuar is at four life and seven mana, with a lonely Wood Elves in play, facing down Numot and Greater Gargadon. Cast E-Wit targeting Hammerheim Deadeye. Cast Deadeye, targeting Numot. Sacrifice Wood Elves, E-Wit, Deadeye: Flashback Dread Return targeting Nekraatal, who targets Gargadon. Siiiick.

I can't believe I already posted about the ptq
Okay, next time I go to a ptq, will somebody please remind me that I should save that story for Friday so that I don't have to think of a topic? Let's do a weekly recap/response post.
On Monday, thanks and praise to Fugie for reminding me that I made boneheaded misplays in all three rounds. I either need to practice Constructed or not go. My current Constructed rating: 1518. No shit. My last sanctioned Constructed match win? September 15th.
On Tuesday, a delightful poem by Fugie about the Holy Grail of Magic, the Turn One. The only way it gets better is if R&D makes a mistake and prints some broken draw 7 Leyline that makes mana. I am surprised this didn't get more commentary, because I thought it was both original and good, a rare enough combination around here.
On Wednesday, another insightful post by TooSarcastic, about how to make his already formidable EDH, formidabler, uh, more formidable. I learned a lot from this post and also from the last couple games of EDH. (1) Never solve other people's problems for them. (2) Things you can only do once a turn are bad, full stop. (3) Doran off a birds or other off color accelerant? Broken.
On Thursday, a nice little wrapup on a month's worth of casual sealed from major_luck. Did I get any props for knocking off the previously unbeaten Jake? No, I did not. Oh, but Jake had a really nice play against me to force a game 3. I had pretty much stabilized but he did have a Dauntless Dourbark, so I left a chump blocker. Unfortunately, Dourbark has Trample if you control another Treefolk, which he did after Footbottom Feast for Moonglove Changeling. Which was also the last point of needed damage. Oops. I guess we have learned that contrary to this post, Green does not suck in sealed now.
And now it's Friday, and what do you get? Dumbass meanderings and random thoughts. On that note, did you see this?
So what are the implications of this for MODO 3? This sounds like a Sharazad (Is that the name of that old game?) type of thing, where you don't actually play Magic against real other players. I totally agree with trying to extend this to a larger community but I don't know how well the Wizards TCG model translates to XBox Live or whatnot. It seems like subscription for unlimited play is far more common there. Then again, I am talking out my ass.
Finally, congrats and thanks to the regular writers on this site. Total posts for February:54. Nice.

WIZARDS OF THE COAST EXTENDS ITS MAGIC: THE GATHERING IP TO MULTIPLE PLATFORMS
Industry Leading Partnerships Enhance Strategy Fantasy Gaming Options for all Gamers
RENTON, Wash.—February 18, 2008 — Wizards of the Coast (WotC), the leader in strategy hobby collectible trading card, board and role playing games, and a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS), today announced its plans to extend the Magic: The Gathering® franchise to gamers on Microsoft's Xbox 360 Xbox LIVE® Arcade and the PC through partnerships with Stainless Games, Ltd. and Mind Control Software, Inc. Stainless Games will develop a game using the Magic: The Gathering IP for both Xbox LIVE Arcade and the PC, while Mind Control will develop a game for the PC and Mac.
So what are the implications of this for MODO 3? This sounds like a Sharazad (Is that the name of that old game?) type of thing, where you don't actually play Magic against real other players. I totally agree with trying to extend this to a larger community but I don't know how well the Wizards TCG model translates to XBox Live or whatnot.
