I haven’t played a TCG (trading card game) in several years but some of my Dead Lantern pals are getting together tomorrow to play a few rounds before we record our 75th episode of the Splattercast.

I know I have a box full of Magic: The Gathering cards somewhere in the storage garage, but for the life of me I could not find them. I did find a few MTG preconstructed decks, including this insane red-artifact thing from the 1999 world championships, so I can at least play with those. I can tear up the storage garage to find my other cards when we move next month (oh yeah, we found a house - I’ll post more about that when we’re actually in it ).

We’re also going to try playing the World of Warcraft TCG. Our pal Spooky McPhee is getting us into it. He told us about a really curious market dynamic surrounding the WoW TCG. Apparently there are certain cards that the players of the WoW MMORPG can use to get special junk in the PC game. We all know MMORPG players are psycho. Compared to them, I feel downright normal playing a TCG. So, anyway, these WoW MMORPG dudes buy lots of the cards looking for those few specific ones, and then they sell the cards on eBay for peanuts. Spooky bought a few thousand cards to start us out.

So yup, it’s a total nerd relapse. I even dug out my polyhedral dice!
