A Rift in Time Saves Nine

I'm still insanely busy, but I want to write a bit about the Time Spiral prerelease that I went to on Saturday, mainly because it was fantastic. Time Spiral is the ultimate mash-up set, quite possibly the most creative (or even the best) set of Magic ever. ( Squee, etc. )

I did quite well at the tournament. I drew some great cards for my deck (my favorites were these two) and went 3-1 (enough for prizes; I was undefeated in the first two rounds, 2-1 in the second, and trounced in the last after a particularly egregious run of bad luck). A bunch of other Oliners went to the tournament, including some tournament first-timers (one of whom also went 3-1). A good time was had by all.

I'm going to head off to get my AI homework done. I think I'll write a bit about more work-related stuff later...
