Tournament Report: Zendikar Prerelease
Posted by: | CommentsHey all. I hope you all had a good Zendikar prerelease weekend opening your desired fetchlands, Planeswalkers and other good cards. I just felt bad because Saturday was also the day that the tropical storm Ondoy ravaged our nation’s capital Manila and the nearby provinces. Casualties and death are still increasing as of the moment and I hope those people affected get enough help to return their lives to normal. Read More→
Post Zendikar Decks: Vampires
Posted by: | CommentsHey all. This is my third take on the possible decks in post Zendikar Standard metagame. Previously I’ve discussed about the Ally class in Zendikar and for this post we will go with the deck that may possibly give rise to Black to be a Tier 1 deck in Standard. I’m referring to the Mono black Vampires deck.
To recall, Magic 2010 core set has given us a hint on the Vampire tribe with Vampire Aristocrat and the mythic rare Vampire Nocturnus. Let us see what Zendikar vampires we could use for the deck. (Refer to the Zendikar spoilers for card info.) Read More→
Post Zendikar Decks: The ‘Allies’
Posted by: | CommentsHappy Friday all. Its been a while since my last quality post because of a messed mind set. Maybe its an effect of the awesomeness of card previews this week which confused me on which one to write first. Anyway, I better do this first before I loss the momentum.
The next prediction I will make on the post Zendikar decks in Standard would be the new breed of a tribe deck or rather a creature sub class. Yes, I’m talking about Zendikar’s Ally creatures. Since Zendikar’s theme focused on treasures, quests, and traps, these class of citizens in Zendikar adds up as an ally or allies to help in your adventures and achieving them. Lets take a look at a few Ally class creatures spoiled so far. Read More→
Manny Pacquiao Action Figures
Posted by: | CommentsNow this is something for those action figure collectors or for someone who wants a unique gift for Christmas. Lol.
This is certainly a unique action figure, and a must-have for any Manny Pacquiao fans. As you can see, it comes with a range of attachable accessories. This is, surely, one of the most life-like boxing models available!
If you’re looking for unusual gift ideas, then this is ideal. Children will no doubt enjoy playing with this great model, whilst adults might use this figure as an desk ornament to cheer them on whilst they play online games at sites like poker.dk. Whoever you’re buying for, this uncanny action figure is sure to bring a smile to their face.
Found at Loosecollector Customs.
Post Zendikar Decks: Naya Aggro
Posted by: | CommentsThe Standard rotation is drawing near. We will be saying goodbye to our Lorwyn tribe buddies, specifically the aggressive kithkins, the gentle Treefolks, the fiery Elementals, the Elves and the ever hated tribe that ruled most of the Standard, the Faeries. At this time, I’m guessing you are already predicting and preparing for the decks after the rotation. Most will probably stick with the decks from the Shards block or try the mono color theme Zendikar offers. Read More→
