Happy Thursday MTG peeps,
Tomorrow, we'll be heading out to our local gamery shoppe, OMG! Games here in Barrie, just a hop / skip / jump from Georgian College to get some Friday Night Magic in and perhaps get a chance to score the new FNM promo, Call of the Conclave with slick new alt art from Anthony Palumbo. We still don't have a deck we want to play - sure loads we love to play at the kitchen table - perhaps something with a Golgari Zombie theme (we did get a few cards from MTG Mint Card recently). Anywhos - OMG! Games is also running a $5 standard constructed event this Saturday (noon-30 start) with a chance to win a free entry to the Dragon's Maze prerelease - not too shabby we think. Expect Dragon's Maze spoilers and previews raining down on the MTG community starting next week.
Righto - onto today's topic - Tumblr Time! Here's the latest and greatest from our sister site, MTG Realm on Tumblr.

Orzhov Daily & Doctrine
Suddenly and without provocation, beloved Basilica greeters Tom and Jerry were needlessly murdered late last night while on duty at the Orzhov Church of Deals. Witnesses identified Gruul radical leader Ruric-Thar as the attacker. The Guild has filed writs with the appropriate Azorius enforcement offices for follow-up. Those who miss the kind, witty, and jovial fixture at our doors may again see them hard at work early next week in their new assignment as Thrulls in our collection and extortion branch office.

Magic: the Gathering - Dragon’s Maze
Some arts in today’s Uncharted Realms article on the mothersite featuring Gobbies. Featured illustrations by Ryan Barger, Kev Walker, and Svetlin Velinov.
Flavor-wise, I’m hoping we have a reference to Skreeg, Ral Zarek’s ever-faithful goblin assistant.

Magic: the Gathering - Your Local Gamestore
Here’s the freak’n awesome floor of the play space at The Game Hub located in Lower Lake, California.
Note - If you drop a card on the floor here, you’re basically pooched.
