Legacy and Modern: Mono Red Blitz

By -


For the past year or so, I have not really gone to any tournaments, but I still have to have a deck handy in case I ever decide to go to one. I also wanted a deck that is legal in the big non-rotating formats like Modern and Legacy. I started putting together my favorite old Standard deck back together with some modifications.

Since I don't plan on using this deck too much, I just want to use cards I already have and cheap cards. We'll see what happens to this deck over time, but for right now, I have this:

Lands: 17
3x Bloodstained Mire
14x Mountain

Creatures: 30
4x Rakdos Cackler                     4x Reckless Waif
4x Stromkirk Noble                    1x Legion Loyalist
4x Burning-Tree Emissary         4x Lightning Mauler
3x Borderland Marauder            3x Mardu Scout
1x Ire Shaman                            2x Pyreheart Wolf

Other Spells: 13
4x Lightning Bolt                       2x Rubblebelt Maaka
4x Madcap Skills                        3x Hammerhand

Sideboard: 15
1x Goblin Kaboomist                  3x Smelt
2x Searing Blood                         2x Mogis's Warhound
4x Curse of the Pierced Heart     1x Nightbird's Clutches
2x Rubblebelt Maaka


I'm always trying to cut my mana costs down as much as I can and cut as many lands as I can, too. Topping off with two three costing creatures is a lot lower than most decks go, but I want to try to trim that down even more. I like where this deck is for now, though.

In future posts, I want to report some changes I am going to make and also explain some of my choices.

Thank you for reading,
Philip

What to expect at a RunDisney Princess Half Marathon

By Anonymous -

Our first Disney run was this past February 2015, and we were in no way properly prepared so here is what to expect.  RunDisney Expo:   The expo was a little overwhelming but definitely worth it. There is a lot to look at and free items, so take your time! We were too excited and wanted to get into the parks as soon as we could, but my next race we will be there longer. They had everything from a runners pouch for your phone, keys, etc.to the RunDisney signature shoes!   Before the Expo you go to pick up your race bib , t shirt, and a small bag of goodies. BE WARNED! If you are going with a male, the t shirts may be a not so manly color, and he might be upset. But you'll understand because he is doing a princess themed race with you.    Morning of the race: STRETCH! I bet your saying "Duh, you are doing a half marathon" but seriously stretch every little bit of your beautiful body. If your thinking "I don't need to stretch my wri

#Blessed

#blessed There are certain things that are blessings. A new baby in the family, a sick loved one feeling better, or even going out to lunch with a friend you haven't seen in a while. But a pair of new shoes when you already have a ton is not a blessing. A new kitchen table or a new TV is not a blessing. Growing up in a church I honestly rarely heard the words “blessing” or “blessed”. When someone says they are “blessed they are basically saying “God is shinning down on me to get this material thing and I'm going to post on Facebook about it.” Instead what they should be saying is “I'm so thankful to have this new TV” or “I am proud of myself for working hard and saving up for my new TV.” I was scrolling down my news feed and saw that a girl who competed in a vocal competition, got a very high rating. She posted “I'm very blessed to have revived a high rate at the competition this past weekend.” No. That's not a blessing. Maybe she could have said she was blesse
