(Note: Due to the missed deadline last week, I am switching my normal schedule of “On the Tabletop” on Tuesday and “Digital Playground on Thursday. Today, I will Break Madden in the digital playground and Thursday I will pit DC vs. Marvel Heroclix on the tabletop. This change is also necessitated by the fact that […]
The 2014 core set brought Slivers back in a big way. I noticed that as I opened my 2015 core set booster box they have continued that trend into this year. I haven’t worked any of those cards into this deck, but I might see what I can do with them. I know that the
I missed my deadline for my article about Breaking Madden yesterday. I won’t be able to post it again until next week, so in its place, I’m giving you all an excerpt from the podcast that didn’t make it into the final cut. This will both offer a different perspective and a sneak peek at

I doubt that he told his other professors his reasons for wanting the
