Xandor's Stuff - Magic
I play a bunch of Magic the Gathering as one of my main hobbies. I usually play mostly limited (draft, and the odd pre-release), commander (with all of the random stuff I get from drafting), and a bit of cube from time to time. I used to play a lot of modern, but I haven't kept up with it since the days of birthing pod and splinter twin. Here's where I'll put draft logs, maybe some commander deck primers, and other fun magic related links and stuff. This'll be a work in progress for a bit!
Commander
Here's where I'll put some primers and logs for my commander decks. My decks are pretty much all built from whatever I opened in packs as a kid, or at draft tables, with a few single card purchases for the stronger ones. I enjoy maintaining them, and even occasionally getting a round or two in after a draft with friends. Most of my decks are around the Bracket 2/3 power level, since I'm not really optimizing them, but the occasional deck might creep up to Bracket 4 if I'm feeling spicy or want something to hang with higher power tables.
Draftlogs
A collection of draft reports when I remember to write them up. I draft a bunch (nearly weekly), so this is probably the main way I play magic these days. I really enjoy that everyone in your pod starts from 0 and you're never really sure what you'll end up drafting each time (unless you like to force a certain colour pair for some reason). I also like the relatively lower power level of draft, where games can go for 8 or 12 turns with lots of small choices to make with relatively little synergy (compared to constructed formats). I'm a big proponent of "drafting the hard way", and trying to stay flexible to see what the best deck to draft for your specific seat might be, since I really like that mini-game during the draft portion.
