Jar of Eyeballs

The day I have been waiting for is here: Jar of Eyeballs.

What did Twitter have to say about my Jar of Eyeballs?

Why do I love this card so much? What is not to love about eyeballs? Jawbreaker eyeballs were my favorite at the candy store. Floating eyeballs in my friends drinks on Halloween was hysterical (for me anyways). Playing eyeballs against a the super serious will be the most fun ever in the history of ever.

Thank you for my Jar. He is going in a deck I will take to FNM and beat someone with. When I cast it
I will say, "I got my eyes on you."



As a side note. I love Monday Night Magic and as Jack is talking to me on my iPod I can't help
but picturing him as The Vampire Lestat. With that refined Southern accent. I think he must
be sipping a fine scotch, surrounded by priceless antiques. 


Say it ain't so Joe :(









PS: Hold your foil Jars for me cause I am totally that idiot and will will totally trade with you for them :)
Not trolling being totally serious. I want some damn foil Jars. Keep me in mind if you get any!






When you open your store if the prices are good I will def buy from you but dad-gum perk up man!
IT IS A JAR OF EYEBALLS! Nothing could be cooler! Maybe a JAR OF BRAINS!


Ok. I find you awesome again.

When I got off a reallllyyy long shift I ran to the mail box and had two envelopes! I tore into them so fast I scared my dog lol. And inside was my spoils from an awesome weekend on twitter with three amazing giveaways form @JWLZ85 and @sigfig8. If you don't follow these awesome Tweeps you are doing it all wrong. Who doesn't like awesome? Who doesn't like giveaways?

Here are my treasures:

The detail on these in just indescribable. @JWLZ85 is one of a kind. I will doing all my alter work in the future
through her. If I can talk her into it :P

Another thing I loved is she really listened to my idea of what I wanted and then made it come about
in a way that unique and even better then what I had asked for. 

The camera doesn't do this card justice. I wish you could see it in person to see the detail and
amazingness. 

The detail on the Sleep Hollow Moorland Haunt is stunning. I esp love the windmill in the
background of the mood and shadow work with the grass/trees.

@sigfig8 did a super cool giveaway of signed cards. I got my Signed Serra and I haven't put her down lol.



I love her way more then is appropriate.

Sick Brags from a Girl Gamer!

This week was pretty effing awesome. I entered three giveaways and won all three. The Moorland Haunt by awesome new alter artist @jwlz85 I already previewed but wait till you see what I won yesterday!



Holy. Fuck. She is stunning. @jwlz85 just outdid herself. Coming to a EDH game near you will be a Wonder Woman ass whooping. If you don't follow her on twitter you are a dumbdumb. Prove fact.

Then while I was drooling over my new Basandra Wonder Woman this happened:


@sigfig8 does the awesome giveaways every few hundred followers. If you don't follow him your a dumbdumb. Prove fact.

What did I win are you wondering? Only this awesomeness:


If you don't know of his blog it is here: Sigs Corner 
I love following along on his pack to power cause I am not brave enough to try that yet :P

Is this whole blog post about me bragging about winning this awesomeness? Why yes. Yes it is. It is also about the reason I love Magic. Cause there are amazing people like these two who make it fun for everyone.  Nothing compares to making new friends and meeting chill peeps. Nothing.

And guess what?


That is right folks! I won! She picked my idea and I am going to be the proud new owner of her amazing new alter. Want to see what it looks like? Of course you do!

Modern Lands for a Modern World


Generally (not always) if you ask a question or for help, people are decent enough to answer it. The trick I have found is being smart enough to listen. Since I took a huge chunk of time off form playing Magic in the "middle" I wanted to know what lands to focus on acquiring for my lands list before the Modern Season is in full swing and everything becomes priced in the dippityshit range.

QUESTION: What lands are a must to own if you want to play Modern???
And the AWESOME Twitterazi has spoke:
