		<description><![CDATA[I want to add (to my previous post) that I am already missing some of the cards that are rotating out, which represent some potentially awesome deck ideas that I never got to see really come to fruition.&#160; In light of this, the past few days (or weeks), I’ve made an effort to get some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oct 1 2010 was the date of my first time seeing the annual rotation with Magic the Gathering.&#160; A new set is released, something like every 3 months, and then once a year (on Oct 1), they rotate out the 4 oldest sets. In this case, 3 of the sets rotating out are the &#34;Alara [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abjure.&#160; Sacrifice a blue permanent.&#160; Counter target spell. Game Play Comments: Blue has a myriad of variations on the original Counterspell, which counter a target spell.&#160; Though for the most part none of them are quite as good as the original Counterspell.&#160; Cancel costs an extra mana, Mana Leak can be diffused if your opponent [...]]]></description>

Game Play Comments: This is prior to the current Standard (Type 2) format, so I’ve never actually used Abeyance.&#160; However, I can compare it to a card that is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Paris mulligan is good &#8211; but not good enough.&#160; I propose we fix it. Mana screw by drawing only 0 or 1 in your opening hand doesn&#8217;t happen often, but it happens often enough that it needs to be fixed.&#160; This is possibly the worst thing that can happen in an opening Magic hand [...]]]></description>

Game Play Comments: When October 1 of 2010 hits, the standard constructed format (my opinion at the time of writing this is &#8211; by far the best and most important constructed format) will be only 5 sets (Zendikar, Worldwake, Rise of the Eldrazi, Magic 2011, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What I love about this talk (and the TED talks in general) is the general visionary idea.&#160; Hours spent on gaming could have stronger real life productivity benefit, beyond just “having fun”.&#160; I’m definitely not in what seems to be a fairly popular (and sometimes narrow-minded and/or extremist) camp that wants the sole purpose of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I sent this email as feedback about Magic the Gathering Online.&#160; The background is that most of the cards only cost around $0.02 to $1.00.&#160; But there are some in the $3 to $9 range, and even a few that are $10 to $80 &#8211; and I think this specific detail ruins the game.&#160; There [...]]]></description>
