The Friday Night Magic foil for the month of November (previewed here) is Oblivion Ring.  All I have to say to this, is, “Thank God.”  Because frankly, I am really sick of Browbeat.  The first time I typed the word Browbeat on this post, I accidentally typed “Brownbeat.”  Which is fitting, I guess.  It might as well be brown.  I can’t cast it in any relevant format.  At least now I’ll get a foil that is actually worth playing in FNM.  And I will get it.  Many of them.  Oh, yes…

The Zendikar prerelease is today and tomorrow, and frankly, I’m going.  There are the usual store prereleases, wherever that may be in your area, but there are also big convention prereleases with artists, and tons of side drafts with prizes.  Check out the locations for these large events here, or just stay in town and attend your local one.  Or don’t.  I don’t care.  It’s probably better that you don’t run into us.  The last prerelease I went to, my brother saw a group of 12 year old boys getting really excited over the new cards, and he screamed at them, “CALM THE FUCK DOWN.  YOU KIDS ARE NEVER GOING TO HAVE SEX IN YOUR LIVES.  EVER.”  Well, at least not sex that doesn’t involve a computer…
