the last two days on twitter have been quite interesting. first off let me say that for all those people that hate on twitter, i reccomend getting an account for a week, find who or what you love and just check it every few hours. it would be celebrities or sports teams, the news or even NASA. it seems like everyone and everything has an account. in my case i use it to follow hot chicks like suicide girls and porn stars, a few friends and lots of magic players and sites...and doombladeguy lol, hes hilarious.
until recently i had my account locked or hidden or private for some reason and becuase of that, people i would reply to or talk to on twitter, wouldnt respond or even acknowledge the fact that i would be talking to them. it kinda pissed me off becuase it was like hey, if your gonna have a twitter and fans are gonna write at least fuckin respond once in a while. But i learned that if your account is locked, they cant respond unless they are following you. so i unlocked it and i got responses... lots of them actually
Jon Medina
now i first heard about Jon Medina on Mananation.com through Pack to Power, where Jon opened a pack of Rise of Eldrazi and would trade up to a Piece of power 9. well he fuckin did it and it was amazing. at first i was like...who fucking cares but as i read each one and how the trades went down, i became very interested in how and if he was going to be able to do it. so thats pretty much how i feel most people came to know about Jon Medina. Jon also has a site he runs...or ran called mtgmetagame.com, its his blog and he has a few good articles.
becuase of the how well Pack to Power did and how people Jon had become from that, Star City Games hired him to write for the fininacal part of the site and so far hes doing a pretty fucking great job. I also had the pleasure of meeting Jon at GenCon in indianapolis. shook his hand and talked to him a little bit, let him know i was a huge fan, traded him for some Nantuko shades(even tho he valued them way too high and i knew he was already, i mean there was no way i was gonna roll this guy, hes a fucking master) then again near the end of the Con where he was cashing out on trades. it was an honor to actually meet someone whose articles an read and learn from.
now, i have my twitter account unlocked and i am actually replying and asking jon questions through twitter and to my fuckin surprise hes responding and actually having a conversation through twitter. now i am actually at work, its around 530 am and i am freaking out becuase jon medina is actually replying to me. i am like fuck yeah, now try to not to sound dumb...seriously your giving your input to a deck hes suggested dont sound dumb. i go back and forth with jon for about 20 mins or so and i am like...awesome. thats my story about jon medina, hopefully i can get him to follow me on twitter and i can ask him questions at will and just shoot the shit with him.
Medina also gave me a tip or two about this blog itself which i greatly appreciated
Also if anyone reads this get starcity games premium and read his articles, they are fucking awesome and you will actually learn and apply it to your trades

KYT and the Eh Team
now i dont really remember how i started listening to the Eh Team but i started on episode 2 when they didnt have a name and this cast is fucking amazing. after listening to this cast i can easily say that they are the best cast out on the net right now and i have listened to alot of them.
i used to look forward to MNM and YoMtgTaps on starcitygames but now...all about the fuckin Eh Team. this cast is basically some friends that like to play magic, like to play competitive magic and want to share what they think,what they are playing and whats going on at their shops and compititions and are just fucking guys that like to have fun.
Side note
i read the comments that people leave on forums and on their comments on their cast comment section and i read a lot about how people dont like the wearing on the cast. all i have to say about it, is fuck you. seriously fuck yourselfs, its just swearing, we arent 7 year olds and havent hears swearing before. its just swearing, take off your diapers and grow up.
anyways, i have talked with KYT on twitter a little bit but only becuase i first bitched about how the podcast was late.( i listen to their podcasts at least 3 times until the next cast. they are hilarious and they have so much to add to MTG because they have smart people in their cast and getting more than one persons perspective is genius.) chatted with him for a bit and thats about it. i actually saw that hes following me on twitter and it was actully pretty cool
Also! @Smi77y has been hyping the shit out of that new phoenix from Scars...seriously hyping the shit out of that card. so i asked him about it and he emialed me a list and i have been tracking this changes hes been making. first let me say that his list is legit, if the meta game shows any kinds of holes in it, this deck is going to run over people. GL to you with that deck @smi77y
What These people have done for me
KYT,Jon Medina and the Eh Team have actually helped me a ton. my first few posts where shit, like i would start and just not fucking care to finish. hearing everything these people have do for this game has given me some kind of inspiration to actually give a shit and write better posts. i havent actually started editing things yet but i am writing more meaningful posts and they are posts that i am proud of and i hope to start editing my shit soon.
