The Obligatory Intro Post

Hey guys, it's GuitarSlam.

Before I dive into some Magic stuff, let me introduce myself.  I'm a college student who's currently working on an Education degree to become either a History or an English teacher (whichever I can get hired for).  I go to school full time and work at a part-time job throughout the year as well.  My main two hobbies are definitely bowling (which I have been doing for nine years now, including two years of collegiate bowling) and, as you would expect by the title of this blog, Magic: The Gathering.

I've only been playing Magic for two years, as I really started to play and research the game when M12 came out.  Prior to that I played Yugioh very competitively for a few years (some of you may even know me from YouTube) but ever since I started learning about Magic, I've completely switched over.  I've only attended a few Magic tournaments (probably less than 10 total) but I watch videos and play with my friends all of the time.  I actually managed to get 2nd place at my first FNM event ever back in December 2011 with UR Delver (a deck I was very proud of at the time) but generally since then I've played mostly control decks, specifically UW Venser control last year and Esper control during the last few months.

I've focused mainly on the Standard format from the time I started playing until now, with the occasional EDH/Commander and Modern deck interesting me as well.  Currently, I'm really getting into Modern heavily with one of my friends, as the format seems to be more fun than Standard is at the moment.  This blog is going to primarily focus on my Standard, Modern, and EDH thoughts.  I'll have general discussions, deck lists, and even some tournament reports.  I really appreciate budget decks, so I'll probably also have a segment dedicated to finding ways to save money but still be competitive at events.  I hope you guys are as excited for this blog as I am!  I'm really looking forward to posting and I hope that you guys enjoy reading and discussing Magic with me as well :D

See you guys later.
