Happy Monday MTG peeps,
We are back in the saddle after a 2 week hiatus and as a result, completely missed all the Magic: the Gathering previews during that time - specifically, Commander 2017. We are happy to say that we, or any other member of our happy little band met the dangerous end of any wolf, bear, or rattlesnake up in the Canadian wilderness during our vacation.
Speaking of Commander, we want to send some link love off to our friend Jon, who we have known for a number of years now. We catch up with each other every week at OMG! Games here in Barrie, Ontario. Jon has been blogging about Commander for quite some time now and has recently given his webpage a face lift. Pop on over to Command Tower (Canada) here - http://commandtower.ca
Since we have mentioned our local gaming store, OMG! Games, we are very proud to have been a part of the Ten Millionth sanctioned DCI Event. You can read all about the event over here on Wizards of the Coast post from Blake Rasmussen. Very happy to have met Gavin Verhey and the other WotC staffers as well. Here is a pic of the crew and one of yours truly -
Speaking of which - we've known Rob Johnson for a number of years, and not only is he a great fan of Magic: the Gathering, he is also a wonderful photographer. Please pop on over to his website linked above.
Righto - that's it for now. We need to catch up a lot more, but before we leave, be sure (if you had not already) catch the official decklists of Commander 2017, linked over here. The Commander 2017 hit shelves at your local gaming store this very weekend ! Here is the brief flavour summary of the four decks now.
