Monday MTG Miscellaney

~
Happy Monday MTG peeps,

Although that nasty deep freeze continues in our neck of the woods here in Barrie, Ontario, we did warm up with a good measure of Magic: the Gathering this weekend.  Starting off with Friday Night Magic (on Friday), Born of the Gods Game Day on Saturday at OMG! Games, and some great casual games at the kitchen table on Sunday, we had a full weekend.  At FNM, we went with a Orzhov weenie rush decklist and lost terribly.  Inbetween rounds, we played a Red / Green Monsters build which performed beautifully.  The next day for BNG Game Day we decided to go with RG Monsters which flopped completely and inbetween rounds we played the weenies which won every time - guess there was no winning.  We do have a few singles coming in from MTG Mint Card to shore up both decks which will help with the ever evolving local metagame here.

Anywhoos, as today's article title suggests, we are catching up with our sister site on Tumblr with a variety of MTG related goodies -

Magic: the Gathering - Wallpaper
This week’s ‘Wallpaper of the Week' installment, called Anax Duels the Rageblood does not feature an art from a card but rather an epic illustration from artist Peter Mohrbacher.  WotC indicates this is a scene from the upcoming Theros-block eNovel ‘Godsend' by Jenna Helland (which we are most definitely excited to get when it releases in April, 2014).
