For the people who were in my Magic deck building experiment thing, or people who know about it and are interested (I can't be bothered to write an explanation), here are everyone's decks:

I just installed StumbleUpon, because apparently I decided I don't procrastinate enough already. Incidentally, there would normally have been a link in that sentence, but I'm aware that some of you have dissertations to be writing, and I don't want it to be my fault if(/when) you don't do them. Seriously. I just lost an hour of my life playing with ( Read more... )

I think many lessons were learnt tonight, which should be recorded for the use of future generations ( Read more... )

I've played a few games like this before, but this is definitely the best of them. Really makes me want to make one of my own...

A few things.
