After spending basically an entire day in airports I’m finally back from my hometown of Chicago. First, the good news: Chicago was amazing as ever. After moving to Florida a few years ago, any chance I have to spend in the place of my birth I will gratefully take. I spent a lot of time with friends, ate at Jim’s Original Polish and Hotdogs, had Joy Yee in Chinatown, amazing Italian Beef from Portillos, had a Chicago Mix from Garrett’s Popcorn, fantastically famous Filipino breakfast at Uncle Mike’s Place, oh yeah, and I got to see my hometown team The Chicago Bears play the AFC’s #1 team The Houston Texans. I’ve been home a number of times but this time was a little different. I had a chance to play at the Grand Prix.

A brief history: one day my brother came home with a bunch of extra commons and uncommons from Revised and Legends that a friend gave to him. Needless to say, that is all it took. I was addicted. READ MORE »

When cards first started being spoiled for Return to Ravnica, I kept talking to my friends about how good I thought Jund was. It was a big deal at the Pro Tour for Block Constructed and it only seemed to get better with cards like Abrupt Decay, Thragtusk, and of course the Shock Lands. I didn’t sit down and brew different decks over and over to try different things, I just kept brewing the same deck in my head and kept wondering how to make it better. Here was my thought process and my decklist that I decided on. READ MORE »
