Auspicious Magic Card

Magic the Gathering is a Trading Card Game which is evil.

Very very evil.

I tried quitting it once, but I'm back at it. FML.

Oh well, since I can't help it might as well share my passion about the game here.

MTG is releasing a new set called Zendikar very soon. And as usual, we have spoilers of the cards which will be in the set once it is released. I'm a big fan of blue spells and I thought it is only appropriate for me to share a big fat blue creature.

Behold the legendary sotong!

Lorthos, the Tidemaker

It's a nice creature, but it's very very costly in mana as most games would have ended before you get to 8 mana. Not to mention, Akroma is in 8 mana league and she will beat the shit out of your opponent if she gets on board. It certainly would have been better if it has shroud (can't be target of spells or abilities). Thus, I shared my opinion in my Facebook.

Little did I know, that actually started an 'auspicious' chat between 2 of my friends who plays Magic as well.

geek talk

Yes, I do agree that this Octopus is very auspicious after the insightful information shared by Kevin and Konrad. Thank you.

Now everyone knows Kevin is a geek and so am I.

---------------------------------

I actually can't wait for the new set to be released. I kinda refresh spoiler sites such as MTGSalvation, MTG Realm and Magic official site every now and then just to see what are the new cards released. Well, it's doable if I'm online most of the time on weekdays (work), but what about when I'm required to attend meetings or going out with friends and stuff? I will still wanna be updated with any new cards if they manage to spoil any.

That makes me crave my Xpax Blackberry Curve even more. If I have my Blackberry with me now, I can go anywhere and can still check out all the online updates instantly via twitter or even visit those sites directly! Not only that, I can poke people back in Facebook immediately if they decided to do any shenanigans on me.

3rd of October is so hard for me to wait!!!

Visit Xpax's website here now to pre-register for yours.

Lol I was an even worse geek with Pokemon Trading Cards. Luckily I stopped when I just can't afford it. It's already devastating spending more than rm3000 on it.

Singapore pre-release, anyone?
