The Curse of Garfield!

There's no shortcut for saying this: After more than seven years away from the devil, I've fallen to to His temptations as a starving rabbit attacks a carrot, Garfield devours pizza and japanese people shoot photo snapshots everywhere. I kinda started playing Magic again...


When Lorwyn came out in October Truz managed, somehow, to tag me to be his twin head for a Two-Headed Giant pre-release tournament. Since he was sponsoring the fees, and keeping the cards the goblin! , I found myself without excuses for not showing up at...10 am...in a Saturday...a sunny one..well that was a major one, but i tagged along and, since i didn't played for so long, learned to play, feebly i might add, a new CCG: Legend of the Five Rings, it didnt strike me odd to find my team in the very last spot at the end of the tournament.


This last Saturday, however, same format, new teammate - Truz ruthlessly dumped after we scored rock bottom on the previous attempt, so i got a new invite from a another old time friend and, in my humble opinion, the face of Magic in Porto, Helder! New expansion is named Morningtide and it sure brought new luck with it. We both managed to snake our way to the top of tournament with a final score of 4 wins, 1 tie and 0 defeats. Go us! Go green decks allied with black and red disrupt annoyance(my deck!). Show Stopper of the Afternoon was definitely the Black Planeswalker that we got lucky enough to pop out in three games in a row: Liliana Vess. Her hypnotic eyes managed to focus the opposition entirely on her, leaving a clear field for the big green trees swat the rest away. Perfect! Truz managed to wriggle his way up to the second place which granted him a hefty amount of boosters as prize since he was, once again, my sponsor.


Its being good to play magic without pay and play the occasional games with nice colored proxies...I'm making a vow not to pay to mtg as yet...maybe when the future sight template hits the house and the actual cards don't look as lame as my old proxies i can re-start thinking about Standard Format again!
As another vow to remake my old NecroDeck in type I format, creme de la creme, vintage, I'v rbought two neat Drain Life, one from alpha and one from beta. One must start somewhere don't ya think?
