Quick update: I passed the 50 commanders completed mark yesterday (now at 52). The fiftieth one I completed was Sek'kuar, Deathkeeper. About 1/9th done! Woo!

I've actually slowed down this week not from lack of ideas, but from spending time doing other tasks required for this quest. I spent one whole afternoon going through old boxes at my LGS looking for Darksteel Ingots and Wayfarer's Baubles, and buying them in large quantities, as well as numerous other things. They're being pretty supportive of me doing this, and so let me buy a bunch of stuff at bulk price, since a bunch of it was stuff they couldn't see really selling. So now I have a bunch of mana artifacts of varying kinds, as well as Mirage fetches, Whispersilk Cloaks, and various other cheap staples, which should last me for a little while. Not all the way to the end, of course, but for a few good legs of the journey at least. So thanks to The Game Preserve (Greenwood) for participating!

They of course also run the EDH games I participate in on Tuesdays. This time I ran Eron the Relentless, Lord of Tresserhorn, Sisters of Stone Death, Jor Kadeen, Azusa, Atalya, and Morinfen. Lord of Tresserhorn and Jor Kadeen, being some of my pre-quest decks that are very strongly built, performed excellently, though their kin Azusa did not (seriously, stuck on 2 land and a crapton of 3 mana accelerants in a 48 land deck? grr...). Morinfen and Atalya were also surprisingly excellent, with Atalya nearly pulling out a ridiculous win in a match against Jhoira, Rafiq, Progenitus, and Scion of the Ur-Dragon. The others were average, but not horrible at least.

Second post of my Voltron discussion should be up before the end of the weekend. Until then, back to deckbuilding!
