In The Beginning...

...there was a newbie blogger, the amazing Rodolfo, Planeswalker. Rodolfo had a mission, a vision, and a blog. The mission? Blog about his Magic the Gathering exploits. The vision? Kinda blurry. Rodolfo may not have exactly 20/20 vision. At least not yet. The blog? Right here my friend.

Rodolfo is the alter ego (newly created and yet to be explored at this early stage) of Steve, a 40 year old Magic the Gathering player who resides in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul). Rodolfo may regularly talk about himself in the third-person, in case you hadn't noticed.

Rodolfo's first experiment will be to gather a group of players and use his long-in-the-making Uber Limited Collections (henceforth known as ULCs) . Rodolfo has been hoarding cards for the past few years and has put ten collections of cards together that are random and have the equivalent of three booster packs per released expansion. This started with Time Spiral block (and all expansions since) and Rodolfo has since added Kamigawa block (because you can get them dirt cheap, mi amigo) a singular unhinged booster (kinda like adding a hint of cayenne to your brownies), and some commons from stripped out Ravnica starters. The quest continues to add older sets if deals can be found on them.

One fun thing about adding Conflux sets - one of the ten sets got the following conflux cards from one booster pack: Noble Hierarch, Path to Exile, Foil Path to Exile! Nice pull, huh?

The ultimate goal with theULCs is to lure players who can't keep up monetarily to still play and to run a few experiments. The first experiment? Limited EDH. That will be the subject of Rodolfo's next post.

Announce end of turn, any response?
