Richard Grace rjmgrace@hotmail.com	So anyway, I thought I'd do a little introduction, talk a bit about myself (we all want do it, come on, don't lie). So the names Richard Grace, or Gracey, or Ox, or Oxey. I'm the defending NZ Champ, and hopefully I'll be the first to make it 3 years in a row next year.

Welcome to my Blog!

I decided that one of the best things I could do as a writer for MTG Paradise was to write a blog for the readers as to what goes on in my everyday thinking about Magic and life in general, and give you all some insight as to how I get triggered into thinking about Magic.

Well it appears that unfortunately for all of us who like playing magic with one another that we have a brand new format that we get to play by ourselves for the most part.

This column I'm going to be writing is going to be a little different than most columns you read, as I'm not going to tell you what card is good and you should play this because that's not up to me to decide for you. Instead, I hope to go into some card theory and magic psychology, so you can make those decisions for yourselves.

Personally I feel that Desire is THE format defining deck. In my last article, I discussed Affinity and pressure, but really there is no better pressure tool than a combo deck that can all of a sudden go off at the blink of an eye, from out of nowhere, straight from the nether regions of one’s behind to the drop box for your opponent.

Well, it's been a little while. I've been pretty busy trying to sort out work since I finished university exams, lots of job interviews and the like, but now that things have started to settle down, I can get back to the important job of writing articles about Magic!
