Welcome to the Blog!

This blog will be an all-purpose Magic: The Gathering blog, with posts about Friday Night Magic, Modern Magic, and especially Magic Judging. There are two authors, both Level 1 judges.
Aleria:
I have been playing Magic for about a year and a half. I started during Return to Ravnica, but I really love the history of magic - modern sets like Kamigawa, Innistrad and Shards block as well as older stuff. I attended my first event at the M14 prerelease, was invited to judge a prerelease the next day, and then was certified at Theros prerelease.
I currently play Soul Sisters in modern, and also have a casual group that plays EDH and multiplayer.
Jordan:
My history with the game dates back to Unlimited, as my father got into the game from his local hobby shop while purchasing Warhammer 40,000 figurines (or was it D&D? I forget now, that was over 20 years ago.) As a kid, I played from Unlimited until Weatherlight, and then took a hiatus until M11, when some co-workers decided to start drafting at work, and got me back into the game. Now, I'm a level 1 judge, running one of my LGS's FNM and Prerelease events, along with being a semi-competitive player. For Modern, I'm a man of many decks, but primarily I play either Melira-Pod, or Mono-Green Tron.
