Updating Commander...

Reinforcements have arrived....


This feels like somewhat of a downgrade in power, but I feel the deck will play better (and by better I mean it'll feel like a swingy game of MTG, not just board sweepers and landslides) 

Remember I'm trying to build a deck which is up against someone doing the exact same deck approach (all nu-new boarded) and I want it to look just awesome on the tabletop. Perhaps my Warhammer like love of nicely painted armies transfers over to MTG. 

So here's the list and the why...

-1 Cataclysm (Strictly an un-fun Commander card)
-1 Virtues Ruin (Seems really poor when 80% of my games are against Sultai)
-1 Aggressive Mining (The card design is sweet, it's application in this deck is not)
-1 Burning of Xinye (Wildfire in Commander is balloni because mass LD is a little tedious) 
-1 Longshot Squad (Bye bye dog archers, you are meh at best)
-1 Sultai Flayer (The lifegain just isn't needed and we're replacing you)
-1 Hornet Nest (I didn't wanna take this out but I need creatures which can swing) 
-1 Tuskguard Captain (Outlast isn't something I want to do with this deck)
-1 Fated Intervention (Triple green gets me down in a 5 colour deck without amazing mana)
-1 Smokestack (Stax may make a return depending on the evolution of this deck)

+1 Jeskai Banner (Fixing until something better comes along, plan on the cycle of these)
+1 Jeskai Charm (I want a cycle of these charms)
+1 Temur Charm (Same as above)
+1 Kolaghan, the Storm's Fury (I want a cycle of these powerhaüs dragons!)
+1 Deflecting Palm (I see too many big spells finishing people off. So here's my 2 mana one!)
+1 Surrak Dragonclaw (YES! YES! The bearpunchin' sonnofabitch is mine!)
+1 Savage Knuckleblade (He seems a little weaker than a lot of the deck but his bounce is legit!)
+1 Thousand Winds (I'm going to enjoy ruining combat steps with this guy)
+1 Mindscour Dragon (The start of another cycle)


The deck will look something like this...

10 Dragons (5 rare, 5 uncommon)
10 Khans (both old and new)
5 Charms
5 Banners
5 M15 Soul's (Rav, Theros etc)
5 5-Mana Morph guys (Ponyback Brigade etc)
that's 40 cards... So some 20 value cards will come into the deck and that'll seal the deal
40 lands...

Streets of Rage 2 and working.

Work for a company because you want to, not because you need to. It's 2018, opportunity is in every aspect of our life. It's literally everywhere and you'd have to be blind not to see how many start ups and big firms need gaps filled. Not to mention the rife amount of space there is for new businesses to emerge and generate income quickly. I'm not really anyone in the grand scheme of things, but I sit and observe a lot of the time. Both my immediate surroundings and the bigger picture, often asking questions others may think are irrelevant. But those questions help me paint pictures in my mind of how things are. Take a look at one of the Sega's ultimate games on the Mega Drive. Streets of Rage 2 (release in 1992) These people worked late into the night, not because they had to, because what they had was solid gold, they knew it, they had fun with it and their bosses worked hard to make sure they had the space needed to shine. A small, agile

State of Judging - Burnt, OUT!

I should take a moment to make apologies to some people. I've been pretty weird at the moment. Honestly I'm not doing to well mentally right now. I'm angry, disappointed and have rage with regards Magic these days. This is down to a few things where mostly I don't feel it's my fault actually but have places blame on myself for over a year now. Judging wise I'm struggling massively, hugely, insanely and being the extroverted tit that I am I find it harder to tell something properly than try and clear my thoughts thought something like Facebook. I've had my own confidence shaken up by review, by feedback and by actions, confidence in the fact I'm not able to be who I want to be (who I used to be) as a judge. When things are running well, when heroes are around me to pick up me and collaborate with me I am proud of being a judge, proud of what I can contribute. My european friends in Judging and a good deal of UKISA judges are absolutely incredible as
