Where and What I Play

I play Magic solely on MTGO due to a lack of time to attend my LGS and because my LGS does not support my favourite formats: Modern and Commander.

I'm a regular on T/O though I'm prone to hiatuses due to either work or life getting in the way of things. However, I usually check in once a day, so feel free to ask me for advice on decks. I'm especially knowledgeable about Control decks.

My Philosophy

As a player I value Control as an archetype above all else. To me, Control is the epitome of expressing your skill and intellect regarding the game and as someone who values intelligence I love Control. Shutting down an opponent may seem harsh and sadistic, but I view it as a means of having overcome them, and should they beat me, a learning experience. If you had to label me as "Timmy, Johnny or Spike" I'd say I dislike those labels. I enjoy winning, but I enjoy the road to the win far more. I have conceded games simply because I was going to win without my opponent playing a single card due to bad draws, or poor deck design. Ultimately, I play for the game itself.

Colours and About Me

Blue all the way. I value intellect, planning, and the unceasing journey to attain more knowledge. I can reflect this by having attained my BA Honours in History and achieving With First Class Standing. I am currently working toward an MA in Japanese History and hopefully to one day acquire my PhD. I would like to end up becoming a professor, a researcher, or a teacher.

Red and passion. Without passion the use of intelligence, to me is pointless. Striving for something simply to strive for it is meaningless. Having a goal is nice. Having the drive to achieve that goal is even better, especially when you're emotionally connected to that goal. For me this is shown through my writing of short fiction, but also through my willingness and love to spew out long lectures on history. There are a few floating in the chatting threads should you seek them out.

White and order. White keeps me in check. It reins in the unfiltered aspects of my personality. I think about others often and I consider rules to be paramount. Routines and habits are how I stay grounded and dependable.

I am Blue/White
