A little over two weeks ago, I made the decision to split my Mac’s hard drive to run Bootcamp (I tried to run Parallels as well, but that just ran incredibly slowly). Something I’ve been pretty against for some time, I told myself I’d wait to run MODO until there was a version ...

Last month I played my “new list” to a second place finish at Mythic Games. This month, I did the same exact thing. I’ve been playing in two local events a week with the deck as well as a bunch of games online and have been having a lot of success. I think for the...

My Grand Prix: Seattle weekend began with waking up at 4:30am, my wonderful girlfriend driving me to the airport and meeting up with Eli Kassis, Paolo Cesari and Ozzie. For as early as it was, I was absolutely wired with excitement for this event. I missed Grand Prix: New Jersey last year due ...

The weekend of Eternal Extravaganza 3 (EE3) or as I like to call it, “A weekend at Aaron’s” begins with me taking a half-day on Friday so that I could travel down to Allentown, PA from Syracuse, NY so that I could fit in getting some cards signed at Illuxcon! For ...
