New decade, old spoofs

Amongst other things.
A post not inspired by Azumanga but nevertheless (as this is tending to be an anime blog) I will make reference of it. Read the rest of this entry »
Tokey Cake Girl
December 25th, 2009 by hikagoI think I hesitated to watch this [alpha] for so long because it had time-travel as a driving plot device — so many ways it could go wrong [bravo].

Sanity Grinding had an average of 10.4 cards milled, and Mind Funeral clocked in with 10.9 cards against a 22 land deck.
Update: A (terrible) mistake but… how the hell did we get 10.4 cards milled with Sanity Grinding? I ran the calculations again and it should be more like 15! Mind Funeral just doesn’t compare. Read the rest of this entry »
