So it looks like I will be traveling to the magic pre-release tournament tomorrow.  I’m excited.  The last time I was in a magic tournament was around the time Uzra’s Saga came out.  I’m actually curious if my DCI number even works anymore.

A few hot new cards that I can’t wait to get my hands on:

1. Pact of negation - a showstopper right here.  There’s been a few times when I’ve had a killer combo ready, my cousin is in “dead man’s hand” and somehow he pulls the one spell that can mess me up.  No more.  Early prediction - next tournament champion is fielding 4 of these.
2. Judge Unworthy - so I get to stack my deck and wipe our your creature?  For 2 mana?  Sold.
3. Glittering Wish - another wish card and you can pull any multi-color card you want for 2 mana.  Being green/white that can grab some powerful stuff.
4. Magus of the Vineyard - cheap mana acceleration and green.  Enough said.
5. Heartwood Storyteller - lets go stompy on the annoying control deck.  Now, I love a good control deck - but stompy is fun.  This card will be headhunted.

So hopefully I do well - I’ve never done this type of tournament - and I get some cool new cards.

Random Tidbit: With the iPhone and all the clones of that coming out, be careful disposing of your old phone.  It could come back to bite you.
