I google myself every now and then and noticed this. I've met you. I've even played you once I think. I used to work with Chedy back when it was "Brainburst" and I designed the original version of the deck database and "Play or Draw" features. Both have since been greatly improved by others as I moved on. I did those back in my very early twenties. I ran into you at various tournaments and other local events in the NY area. It's strange to think that *I* somehow had a part in inspiring *you* to write. Because reading your reports over the years spurred me to take the game more seriously and in some ways contributed to my early success at the Marvel VS game where I won the first Origins event. So I guess we helped each other? Family and work have made me set aside the cards for several years now, but I still loosely follow the genre. Anyhow, I remember writing that report. Re-reading it now 10+ years later, I too shudder at the deck and overall article quality...but those days were a bit like the Wild West. If you want to contact me, go through Chedy or Ray at TCGplayer (assuming you still have some level of interaction with them) or friend me on facebook or something. I couldn't find an email address for you... -Bill Hodack Wow, um…you’re welcome?? I google myself every now and then and noticed this.

My vote is some combination (preferablly all three) of BDM, Mike and Bill Stark. If it’s Rich Hagon, then I riot.

Maybe I'll Q next weekend with Mono-White... Speaking of coverage, is there any chance of getting you back in the booth? Honolulu, maybe? Do you know who's going to be normally filling in for Randy?
