Oh wow, that’s really cool,

As far as the stories being up and down, it’s fine as on the whole the series is really good. I also agree that Tony Harris’ art in the series is really really incredible.

What a weird coincidence.

Also as a heads up this Doran List me and a friend came up with has won two PTQ’s in Ontario over the last 2 weeks, qualifying said friend and another team mate. Our deadbeat TO hasn’t sent the lists in as far as i know, so i thought i would post them here.
I ended up with a winning record but having to scoop in the 70 card mirror match as i got paired up. The first winning sideboard was trash, so this is the current sideboard. This is undefeated vs Fae as well which is nice.

I don’t know if you know this, but Brian K. Vaughan is a real-life friend of mine. We went to high school together and hung out with the same group of friends. My signed copy of Y #1 says he stole all his ideas from me.

So I don’t know if the value goes up from being a New Yorker because I have automatically bought every single thing Brian has written since 1994 or so when he participated in the StanHattan project and got his first opportunities on Ka-Zar, Cable, etc. I have literally everything he has ever written and plan to buy everything he writes forever. Personally, I think Ex Machina is more or less the best comic book being printed not just for Brian, because Tony Harris is my all-time favorite penciler as well. Does that answer your question?

Comic Question;

I’m a big fan of Y the last man, and so i’ve picked up ExMachina. It’s been up and down for me i’ve really like certain stories and aspects, while other things in it have left me wanting. Have you read it and enjoyed it? and does the value of it go way up if you are a New Yorker?

Last Friday a buddy of mine called me to see if I wanted to cube draft, but I told him I didn’t have time because I needed to pick up cards for my ptq deck. My friend said that sounds fun and decided that he wanted to go if I could throw a deck together. Not only had he not played a game of the current extended, he hasn’t been playing any constructed magic in years, and has never put up any decent (t8+) finish at anything bigger than a GPT. I tried to build the list you posted, but short on time, the sideboard was a little lacking.

When we showed up for the PTQ in San Antonio, it ended up being a 182 person tournament making it one of the biggest PTQs ever in Texas. I did really well, finishing 3rd with my Faeries deck, but my friend who had no experience had a breakout tournament, going undefeated in the swiss, barely losing a game. He ended up losing a close match in the finals of the PTQ to a Goyf-Rack deck because of a simple mistake because he didn’t understand Cry of Contrition. I’d say it’s a pretty strong deck if someone is able to pick it up without playtesting a game and come very very close to a Q for Hawaii. Thanks for the list.

Random comic talk: Avid reader of Walking Dead and was recently turned on to Invincible but still on the fence about it. At points it is fun and witty but i feel like over all the writing is weak.

Magic: Speaking of the D.H. mage I just saw a list that was running both those and Mana Tithe, and i know you love you some mana tithe, was wondering if you thought Mana Tithe is a card that should be played more in extended right now?
