Magic The Gathering

   I played my second game game of Magic The Gathering this week.  My first game occurred about 20 years ago.  I still don't comprehend WTF is going on or any of the strategy.  But I can now see where it is an exceedingly complex game, and that is a definite plus.

Conan The Librarian

    Or Magic The Gathering card of the day.  Whichever.

Quote for the Day (Shakespearean edition)

    A powerful quote from Shakespeare's King Lear.  I came across it in the book in yesterday's post, Fever Dream.  I went looking for an image to accompany it, and discovered it is also used on a Magic The Gathering card.  How kewl is that?!

Animation

    Well, I'll be.  So this is what "Animated Gif" means.

Stasis

    Stasis : a period or state of inactivity or equilibrium.

    Stasis : a Magic The Gathering card.

    Stasis : the name, and the second track of, an Etherfysh album.


    Inexplicably, no one has ever posted an Etherfysh track on YouTube, not even the dude himself.  I'm seriously considering making this my next YouTube post.  At 7:49 minutes in length, that will take a lot of images to make it interesting.  My thought is to use a bunch of MTG cards, as there are hundreds, if not thousands of them to choose from.  Starting with the Stasis card itself.

    Alas, my familiarity of MTG is flimsy at best.  My preferred game is Chess.  So picking kewl MTG cards for the video will be spotty, other than the Black Lotus.  Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments.
