A Quantum Immortal

Any of you that don’t care about Magic: The Gathering can skip on to the next post.

Last weekend I was at my first pre-release in 3 years. I played a solid faeries deck with 3 copies Boggart Sprite-Chaser, which was always , for me, a 2/3 flying creature for 2 mana.

Unfortunately my deck had no bombs, except Wort, Boggart Auntie, which was almost always killed the turn I played it 🙁

I went 3-0 for my first 3 games, and even managed to kill an incarnation and win. Then I got kicked in the face with the broken Cloudthresher which demolished my army of faries and proceeded to terminate me.

That’s what I hate about limited – bombs other people get 🙂

After another loss (at 3-2) I left the game in favor of a draft. I figured I had no chance to win something at the main event. I was wrong. It turns out places 9-16 were filled with people with four victories, so I could definitely have won 1-5 boosters. I ended up winning two boosters in the draft though, which was nice.

Yay, I’m getting a super birthday this year!

This week started with my Kung Fu team moving to a fresh new dojo and celebrating it with a 2.5 hour practice.
Yesterday we played some 2 headed giant Magic: The Gathering game.
Today I’m having a Release Drink (שתיית שחרור)!
Tomorrow there’s another practice.
Thursday I’m doing an “Out Trip Form” (טופס טיולים יוצא – לפעמים אנגלית זה נוראי). Aya is organizing some secret game. She won’t tell anyone the details, but I managed to guess it 🙂 You’re all invited, by the way.
Friday I think I’ll celebrate with my family
Sauterday, we’ll christen our new surfing half-board (בוגי).
Sunday, I’m getting reassigned to the Kirya, then vacation for 2 months, then I’m a true civillian!

That’s all folks
