At M11 Prerelease.

It was cool. My friend Wesley asked me to come along, and I had made time, thank god, so now I can go. We went, got our packs, and I opened quite the list. Vengeful Archon, Dark Tutelage, Arbiter, and a entire smattering of cheap red burn. I quickly cobbled together a Red/White List and went 1-3 lol. ON hindsight, I had plenty of crappy early game cards, and most of the ones worth playing were on the higher end of my curve. Furthermore, cards I deemed as crap were actually life-changers in the games ahead. Oh well, at least I could put my knowledge to use when we go drafting this Saturday. I'm pretty pumped for it.

In other News, World Cup Finals tomorrow morning. I won't be watching, though I'm rooting for Holland to win.

Ah well. Signing off.

1st week of the new term, Day 1

Aha, now that the block tests are out of the way, we enter the new school term with fresh faces and hearts all ready to learn. I wish I could say that, but it's far from the truth. The fact is that we have to rush through 60% of the syllabus this year in preparation for Promos. Furthermore, now that we're back, Art Week is at the last week of July and since we went to China, we're supposed to come up with something. Great, extra workload haha.

Furthermore, M11 prerelease's coming this weekend. Plenty of strong stuff to look forward to. Lightning Bolt's coming back, I'm looking forward to Chandra's Outrage.
Ah well. Probably won't have time to go anyway.

Signing off lol.

Happy Youth Day, folks.

In light of the Youth Day holiday last sunday, I will not be updating this blog with today's events, cause it's just gonna be so damn uneventful. I've posted what occurred during my BLock Test though. Be sure to read them. (if you're a masochist.)

Signing off.

Block Test, Last Day :)

Well, I had math and this time, I'm confident of scoring an A (it's a H1 Subject though, that means only 10 points :() Only brain fart came along when I mixed up mean and sigma, causing my calculations to be way off. Good thing I had time to fix my mistakes.

MTG: Still thinking of a deck to play lol. So many decklists, none fitting my style.

Signing off. (You think it looks like a twitter a/c?)

Block Test, Day 4

Let's see... we had CSE today. I was able to bullcrap my way through some of the harder questions, though I highly doubt the value of my answers.

Oh well, MTG: Damn. Looks like my prediction for 12 lords to appear isn't to be. oh well.

Signing off. (Yes, I notice my post's getting shorter. It's just that some days are to uneventful.)

Block Test, Day 3

Day 3: Geography. One data response question, one essay.

Let's see... managed to remember most of my stuff. But I wasn't sure whether I was answering the questions right. Oh well. we'll just have to wait and see.

On the other hand, that day's BOAB was pretty meh. Still pumped for M11's release though.

Signing off.

Block Test, Day 2

Well, I think I fared a little better for Econs, just one minor problem...
I forgot about the application of Elasticity of Demand it came up in the hardest question of the paper!! OH Snap. That's 15 marks down the drain.

In other news, I noticed that M11's coming out. Sweet. There's a bunch of Really strong mono-green cards, with one extra detail- I heard rumours that Imperious Perfect is actually coming BACK!! That's Great!! Combined with the fact that Elvish Archdruid is coming along for another season, and that Joroga Warcaller's not going anywhere yet, that's a whopping total of 12 LORDS for Elves!! Elfball Deck, here I come!

In non-elf related news, cards like Garruk's Companion and other strong green cards are showing up, meaning that a playing seeking to go green have yet another route to go (Beasts?).

Blue is shaping up very nicely. With cards like Conundrum Sphinx, and Mana Leak, already a top-notch part of the Counter-spell family, Mono-Blue is looking to be a strong contender in block-constructed. No news of Ponder and Essence Scatter/Remove Soul though.

Oh well. Talk about the other colours next post. Signing off.
