I had the pleasure of studying this move for quite sometime. Unfortunately as I was browsing online forums, I saw alot of users putting false information on the move. This might be due learning from improper sources (say, youtube videos ), or talking from no real experience behind them, or for any other reason. Anyway, I hope this blog entry clarifies some issues. Do keep in mind that I didn’t make up any of the misconceptions here, every misconception here was taken from online magic boards. Read the rest of this entry »

Scripting 101

May 4, 2008 at 11:09 pm (Thoughts) (, )

Why? Because they ARE scripted, they just don’t know it! Read the rest of this entry »
