Well, in short, as Lauri told you guys before, we didn’t get any.
RopeCon and Our Press Passes

M15 and Monoblack Aggro
I’m going to be playing next weekend in the GP Utrecht. I don’t have any clue on what I’m going to be playing, and I’m leaving for Netherlands on Sunday, so I don’t have a lot of time to decide what to play. However, M15 did bring me something I think would make my monoblack deck stronger. It might be surprising, but its [scryfall]Crippling Blight[/scryfall].
Got My Plaque for Winning the Scenario Contest Today
As I wasn’t at the ceremony, it took a bit of wrangling to find someone who was going to be there, which in turn lead to me not getting this until today.
On the right, you have the fuzzy dice given to me by Lauri on behalf of the Guild for winning.
BTW, I don’t know if the scenario is available on the RopeCon site yet, but its available here both in Finnish and English. The latter has not been proof-read, but it shouldn’t have any major problems. You can also find both under the Resources on top of the page.
I’ll be back later to discuss the whole thing in length.
Khans of Tarkir and Morph
Since I always stay within BUG-colors in EDH, I’m apparently of the clan Sultai.
Since WotC announced Morph is going to be back, and each clan is going to have its own mechanic, I’m pretty sure Morph is going to be my mechanic. I think it would fit this color combination the best, although I could see it as the Jeskai-mechanic (RUW, who apparently admire the cunning of dragons). Although it was not tied to blue in any way during its stay back in the day, it feels very blue to me and these are the two clans that have blue in them.
Ropecon 2014; Sunday (by Aki) – AstraTerra
Since this was the last day of the Con, so not a lot happened. I did win the Scenario Contest, but I’ll talk about that in a different post at a later date when I have more information. This is basically going to be about Astraterra.
RopeCon 2014: Saturday (by Aki)
On Saturday I continued GMing, went to listen to one of the honorary guests, and finally ended up sumo wrestling a number of people.
RopeCon 2014: Friday (by Aki)
This year’s agenda: Trying stuff I’ve never tried before, for your benefit, my dear reader.
Khans of Tarkir: The First Spoiler (and a Couple of Words on Commander 2014)
San Diego ComicCon is going on right now, and (this year) it means a first look at three new products. There was the Commander 2014, including Teferi’s planeswalker version, which carries a line at the end letting you play him as a commander, and several sweepers from the From the Vaults: Annihilation (although no [scryfall]Damnation[/scryfall] thusfar, which I would have thought to be a good selling point for the set), and a couple of cards from the next Duel Deck, including this fellow:
Zurgo is also the face for Khans of Tarkir, and included in that set as well.
A Wayward Son: The Dramatic Arc of One Player Character
I don’t normally like to write about my characters, because its hard to know what will be interesting to other people, because I clearly have a strong bias. I asked for subjects to write about in this blog, and Lauri suggested talking about this character. He too, as the GM, has a bias, but I’m guessing his bias is not nearly as strong as mine, so I’m assuming there’s something about this character that’s interesting to others.
Whatever the reasons, I’ll try to use this as a case study of sorts.
Very Basics of Deckbuilding
There’s plenty of daily strategy content on the Mothership, Star City Games, Channel Fireball, and other places. However, those are targeted at people, who are generally not that interested in deckbuilding, and who are fairly familiar with the game. Here I’m going for the beginner audience.
