After taking 10 years off of MTG, I finally came back to the game that I fell in love with as a teenager. A lot has changed, but essentially, it is the same game as it was back then. I was getting really good when I quit, and now, I am starting to play at a more competitive level and want to qualify for a pro tour.

The idea for the blog (and probably a youtube channel for videos once a week or so) is to document my journey from scrub to pro-tour qualified. With detailed match notes, and playtesting sessions, as well as feedback from readers who might have ideas that can help me on my trek.

I've read other people's blogs (like Pack to power) and other various ideas like that, and it was entertaining and interesting to follow, and I was wondering what you guys thought of this type of idea, whether those of you who read articles would find this interesting/entertaining.

Thanks for reading.

-Tim

I think it'd be great. I'd read it and root for you.

Ugh, I'll pass on video of play testing, but everything else sounds good.

Quality tourney reports. It's the only reason I read Nessco or Hipsters of the Coast.

I was with you until this. For the love of the flying spaghetti monster, that crap should never even be mentioned. It has truly brought a scourge across the land of Magic trading.

I second this. "Pack to Power" is a joke and if you're attempting it you should feel shame.


Saying that, the idea of a magic blog is great! Think of it as being just as much for you as it is for your soon to be followers and you'll have a lot of fun!
