M15 Updates

     So they've updated the site it seems to a new look, as well as showing off some more of the cards (http://magic.wizards.com/en/content/magic-2015-core-set-card-set-archive-products-game-info and keep scrolling down) and so far this set seems a bit silly in the good way.  On a side note the confirmed basic land art seems okay.

Theros Block: Part the First

     Theros (when it first came out) was a very interesting set concept.  With focus on enchantments for the block, I sort of had high hopes for how things would turn out.  The first set was a fun one for that initial draft and still has some gems to it.  My personal favorites of the set are probably still Curse of Swine and Shipbreaker Kraken, and I normally don't run blue (nothing against it, but for most of my MtG experience I was usually white/green/black with a splash of blue and red over the years).  Voyaging Satyr is an all around great card as well.  But enough about silly things in blue, I suppose I should go on about the set as a whole.  Let us talk first about enchantments.

It's all a Conspiracy, I tell ya!

      Sure enough, one of my recent experiences was to have a nice sample game of MtG's weirdest set in a while, Conspiracy.  If I didn't know better, they were working out not having made an Un-set in a long time.

      For those that don't know, Conspiracy is basically a draft set with a bunch of silly new cards and reprints like Exploration or Phage, the Untouchable (which is a Zombie Avatar Minion like it should always have been rather than a flavor fail Zombie despite her having a kid while being Phage instead of Jeska...but enough about lore) and fun new cards like Selvala and Marchesa, and reprinting the classic land cycle set of commons.  Oh right, and official squirrel tokens.

Back to Earth: A quick chat on M15 before they start spoiling it properly.

      So....I have a tendency to get distracted by, well, life.  This time however I'm going to let my actions, rather than posts, speak.  So first up is a bit of random discussion on M15 for Magic The Gathering, before it comes out of course.

Magic the Gathering M14 Intro Pack - Psychic Labyrinth Review

     Well, it is that time again, and this time it is the mostly blue slightly white Psychic Labyrinth deck.  Three down and two to go.  I've gone back for the Intro Packs and put in links for cards I named now.  Also I have been testing the decks against each other, granted in a rather controlled way (always attacking and blocking when possible, trying to make the best decision on what target a spell will have, 10 games, 5 with one deck going first, 5 with the other, that sort of thing), and I will get back later with the results of that as well.  For now though let's get to this deck.

Minor Updates

So I went back to the Bestial Strength and Fire Surge Intro Decks and put in links to most (ignoring the basic land) cards mentioned.  I say most because I only linked once per card and not once per naming of said card, as well as not linking if the card was originally brought up elsewhere.  Also links to the official Wizards MtG page for each deck were put in the names.

Magic the Gathering: M14 Intro Pack - Fire Surge Review

One thing I can promise is this will be shorter than the Bestial Strength article.  This will also have a video at the end as I'd like to stick to format.  Let us get into the Fire Surge Intro Pack.
