Welcome back, folks. It's been a while since I last wrote an article, in large part because I've been unwilling to make any financial moves on MTGO before reading the December 6th announcement about competitive play on Arena.

Arthur's first article for Quiet Speculation is a great and thought provoking look at the next expansion, Mirrodin Besieged. His inventive and sensible evaluations of the cards and potential interactions will serve every reader well in the coming days and months events.

I’ve been busy. Tinkering with the few Scars of Mirrodin previews we have so far, and loving it. This is my kinda set, so far at least, and Scars marks, for me at least, a period of unbridled success on the part of the Magic design teams. I'll have […]

Alas, it will have to wait for another day. I don’t know if you read my website, 02drop.com, but now probably wouldn’t be the time to start.
