Do I have the ending song of a 40 year old musical on repeat as I finish my new 99 Problems article I looked up for a single joke?
Yes, yes I do.
@Wobbles Oh, hey, my Chrome synced on my home computer.
Here are my links that I used:

Publisher links to an address on dropbox that's different than the one on my computer at home so I can't show you an example. But it's enough to make good prototypes.
How to use MS Excel and Publisher to rapidly prototype cards |
Hello everyone! With my recent foray into game design, I've been a real consumer of the collected wisdom here. So I thought I would give a little back with a quick desktop publishing tutorial for the rapid prototyping of cards. For brevity, I'll assume that you know how
@Wobbles I've got the links on my work computer. Poke me Monday and I can send them to you.
Good news:
I learned how to card template non-Magic cards for playtesting. I love MSE, but it's not good for actual data analysis. I'm clearly not up to templating for something like MSE anyway, but I need something to print out for cards.
Excel + Publisher.
So, go me.

I submitted my new 99 Problems piece. It talks about the upcoming rotation and which cards might be beneficial for you to pick up financially.
I was going to spoof the Sarah McGlachlan Pets ad with the song "Angel" (In the arms of an Angel...) but I figured that might be in bad taste to people who love animals and whatnot. I love them too, but it's a serious thing and I don't want to be a jerk.
So instead I tied it in with a movie about abandoning a kid in the woods.
So a win/win, right?
New 99 Problems goes up tomorrow (hopefully). I take a look at the PAX Panel with the #MTGGRN mechanics and what they mean for Commander.
As for tonight, working on my office. It's getting better and better. School starts this week for the kids so we'll see the sleeping schedules play out soon. Looking at times to stream in a few weeks.
@trickjarrett I'll be there Saturday.
So I have a MTGCP shirt for pax (as seen on my twitter account), but I looked into getting a hat.
A custom hat is crazy expensive. Now I know why people do shirts all of the time.
