Heart and mind games
It was an inauspicious debut for the A-League's 11th franchise, Melbourne Heart, as they kicked off the comp's sixth season with a 0-1 loss at home to Graham Arnold's Central Coast Mariners. New stadium, Dutch coach, eclectic team, admirable "traditional club" philosophy and the support of Jon Bon Jovi notwithstanding, the red'n'white stripes looked to be very much an unsharpened blade.
Something I am impressed with is the intro packs for "M11", the latest iteration of the "Magic" core set, which have gone up in size from 40 cards to 60 (and Wizards hasn't removed the sealed booster). Forget the boring, monochromatic piles of yore, this pentad have clear themes, aren't afraid to splash "enemy" colours and the B/g "Reign Of Vampirism" concoction is essentially a beginner's combo deck.

I bought the vampire one just for the included royal assassin :)
The revised artwork on that card is great, isn't it? At the moment, I'm finding the W/b deck smashes the B/g, though.
I dunno if anyone looks at these comments, since we all use RSS readers, but I've realised who the current Royal Assassin artwork reminds me of: Sharaz Jek from "The Caves Of Androzani".
