2019 I HAS REVIEW

Posted on February 5, 2020 by Isey

In the past I had broken down an annual review into 4 posts to really focus on what I was reading and writing about. I am going to condense that this year. The blog was down this year – and pretty much tit for tat with my posting. I don’t get a huge amount of…

Brad Marchand Deck : Magic The Gathering Arena

Posted on April 2, 2019April 2, 2019 by Isey

That picture is Brad Marchand licking the face of an opposing hockey player. They were getting lippy with each other after a play so Brad decided to get all tongue-y instead. That’s not normal behaviour. Not even for hockey players. I hate*** Brad Marchand. He is an “instigator” type hockey player. Most people hate Brad…

Tic Tac Toe : Anthem, Magic, Project 1999

Posted on March 6, 2019March 6, 2019 by Isey

While Anthem is the game I am spending the most time on, I am also playing Magic The Gathering Arena and Project 1999 daily. They are all very different but fill a nice spot. With not a big post on anything today I decided to touch on all three to make a post out of…

Magic The Gathering Arena Deck : In ACTION!

Posted on January 27, 2019January 27, 2019 by Isey

My last post explained some of the intricacies of my MTGA competitive deck. Writing about it is one thing, showing how it actually works is another – so I decided to make a video to see one of my win conditions. Fun thing(s) about this video: I don’t have a proper mic – I just…

My Magic The Gathering: Arena Deck

Posted on January 24, 2019January 24, 2019 by Isey

I will be the first to admit out of the gate that my competitive, ladder climbing MTG:A deck is a straight up, gong show, “WTF were you thinking?!?”mish-mash of play styles and inferior deck building that I am almost afraid to share it. Not because of the ridicule that will most likely be present from…

Ravnica Allegiance Launch : Magic The Gathering Arena

Posted on January 18, 2019January 18, 2019 by Isey

What the screenshot doesn’t show is that because I have been so happy with my deck, and play daily, that I had saved up enough gold (free currency) to buy 45 packs of the latest expansion on release day. I also had over 20 standard Ravnica packs unopened as I was waiting for the new…

2018 I HAS REVIEW – Q4

Posted on January 16, 2019January 16, 2019 by Isey

October 2018 Posts: 3 (Really? Just 3?) Games: Magic The Gathering: Arena Other Media: October was my second lightest posting month and 3 in a month (along with the couple 5s I had earlier in the year) shows my inability to post consistently. Blogging is one of those things I love when I feel like…

2018 I HAS REVIEW – Q3

Posted on January 9, 2019January 9, 2019 by Isey

July 2018 Posts: 6 Games: World of Warcraft. Magic The Gathering: Arena, Warriors of Waterdeep, Other Media / Non Digital Games: Blaugust Summertime is more time outside time, less gaming time, and even less blogging time. I started a series about some World of Warcraft Specs that I thought would be really fun to include/play…

When You Say Nothing At All : Quotes

Posted on October 19, 2018 by Isey

I don’t like going a full week without making a post. This is more of a challenge when you didn’t really do anything or have anything tangible to write about. So, if you hate general posts about a few things, stop reading now. This is one of them. “Not as bad as I thought” While…

Rebuilding : MTGA

Posted on October 5, 2018 by Isey

I had a LOT of fun with the Magic The Gathering Arena closed beta but was less than enthused to restart after the wipe. Currently, there are around 1300 unique cards and you can have up to 4 of each. By the time I was done in closed beta I had around 2600 cards –…

(Aether) Revolting : MTGA

Posted on June 27, 2018June 27, 2018 by Isey

Well, the new MTGA decks have really kicked my ass. I dropped from a high silver in the ladder placements to right back to entry level Bronze. Turns out, like most online card games, if you don’t keep with the Joneses you get kicked out of the neighbourhood. Things were getting a bit boring anyway….

My Dominaria Pack Openings

Posted on April 30, 2018 by Isey

With Dominaria launched for Magic:The Gathering both in “real life” and the digital world I was fortunate enough to have have saved up a lot of gold (free to play currency) to buy 8 packs. I also received three free ones, and through the first few days of winning daily contests and matches I also…

MTG Arena : Joy in Learning

Posted on April 9, 2018April 9, 2018 by Isey

The way rewards work in MTG:Arena is twofold – daily and weekly. The daily is a pretty easy to hit challenge by just playing the specified card colors, and the weekly grants you a pack of cards at 5, 10, and 15 wins. What is good about this in the early stage of the game…

MTG Arena : Hitting My Stride

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Isey

I am still not “good” at the game, but I am becoming “effective”. Quotations used for loosely defined terms. What I mean is that I fully understand what is going on and have been able to create strategies on the fly with the two decks i am comfortable with. I am still not “good” because…

Learning by Listening : D&D 5e

Posted on February 12, 2018 by Isey

I am on episode 10 of the Critical Role Podcast – that is around 30 hours worth of D&D, audio glory. It has completely taken over my time when I drive to and from work (which used to be reserved for The Economist) – so while I am far less up to date on the…
