Am I getting in over my head on this one?

Ok internets... today I had an idea, and I'm going to use this blog to, hopefully get this idea on the road.

They say that if you have a career you love, you'll never work a day in your life.  I'm going to attempt this. It's not going to be easy, and it's not going to happen any time soon because lots of saving will be involved.

I want to open my own gaming/comic store... but with a twist. I think a coffee shop/bakery combined with a comic/gaming shop would be an amazing idea.

Imagine just a place like this to hang out with nerds. It's a nerd haven if you will... magic, D&D, Warhammer, Batman, and coffee and cupcakes all under one roof.

Starting off I would definitely have to use my personal stock of magic cards, action figures, and other nerdy bits to actually begin something, but I think it could really take off.

For now world, I leave you with just this dream that I hope one day I can turn in to a reality. I'm considering it a three year plan from conception to actually opening the doors. Hopefully by the year 2020 this will be a reality.

I'd really enjoy hearing advice, and what others think of this. Leave it in the comments.

Truuuump Day!

Hey guys! Guess what today is! Truuuump Day! No seriously. If I see that stupid camel picture on my Facebook one more time, I'm going to freak out.

Yes! Good lord that's the picture right there! That's the one I'm talking about! I seriously thought that meme was dead, but it looks like it took a special occasion for the camel to rear its ugly head.

But seriously, that's not what I'm typing about today. No, I may bring some randomness to this blog, but like all smart people certain things you do not talk about like religion, politics, and the unbanning of Jace, The Mind Sculptor in modern. I'm a crazy nerd, and today is the release of Magic's new set, Aether Revolt. That's what we're going to talk about!

*Insert the sounds of a messed up cassette here and go to a cut-scene* 

That's originally what I was planning on doing today, actually starting this blog off with a fat pack or whatever WOTC is calling them now? I don't know, they'll always be fat packs to me, but sadly I've barely been able to breathe and if you heard me cough, you would think there's an elephant or some other large animal living in my house. So, sadly I have not left my house today to head on down to my friendly LGS (Hey there Player's Guild!) To pick up a... thing that looks like a fat pack but isn't... Who am I kidding it's a new set... I was going to get a box! 

But... I didn't so... instead let's talk about my favorite deck and give a fresh little take on a modern staple... *Robot Voice* TRON!

 Ok... so it's got the standard Urza Tron lands... some big things that get their Hulk-Smash on, but what's ridiculously different about my build is... (Here's some background info on me people... I'm a dick and like other Dickson in the mtg universe I play control... because I don't like to allow you to do things and stuff) Anyway, yes as I was saying... There's a little control she'll to this I like to set up while I'm waiting to get the tron up and running. It's a little defense really because anyone who has played Tron has been in that situation of waiting for the third Tron land to come, or not finding the expedition map. This is my security blanket. 

Speaking of security blanket there's one more thing I really enjoy running. Banefire... yes the rarely used cousin to the OG Fireball. 

Yes... the finisher... the big kaboom! The I start tapping everything and go "Fifteen damage to the face motha' effer!" Yes, I love this card I think R/G Tron needs to run this card. This card is fire, lit, bae... whatever crazy term the kids are using today. This is the cat's meow... the bee's knees! This is here to outright win. That's all. 

Ya know, there's some other stuff I could talk about. Etched Champion for the lols.  Spellskite to eat pumps and bolts all day. Scuttling Doom Engine to just die and deal damage... good old under dog Phyrexian Revoker to just say no to walkers. Newlamog, Wurmcoil... that stuff is standard. I wanted to talk about the weird stuff about my Tron build... because that's what I do. I brew.

Anyway Kids, I'm Chris Diltz hacking up a lung, in need of some Aether Revolt and some chicken soup signing off. Tune in next time when I finally get a chance to crack open some Aether Revolt... and not cough all over my screen.
