The calm before the storm…


If you are reading this post, most probably you are a good friend of mine, or just an avid fan of Magic: The Gathering. Either way, thank you for sharing with me a few minutes of your time. Like a lot of people, one of my goals has always been to make a difference in other peoples lives, may it be big or small. If this blog helps you improve your Magic game, then this project of mine is a success. But if this blog inspires you to do greater things in your life… I don’t even know how to put that in words.

Making the world championships of Magic is hard enough, let alone win it. Why am I doing this? I can sum it up in one word: passion. I have always been fascinated by card games. I have tried several, but Magic definitely stands out among the rest. It for me is the perfect combination of strategy, competition, and fun. Passion is a driving force for most people, hopefully it will lead me to Magic greatness!

Starting tomorrow, enough with the cheesy lines and on with the technical stuff. I'll start things off with my weapon of choice for the next few months. Anything and everything Magic can be discussed, but I will focus mostly on the competitive side. Tournament reports, metagame analysis, strategy, and anything else we can think of to work on our game.

I hope this isn’t the last time you visit my page. I leave you with something from Marianne Williamson that has truly inspired me, hope it does the same for you.


Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear
is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually who are we not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do.
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And when we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
