I mentioned it briefly on Splattercast #75; we’re having a bit of a nerd relapse over here. Mat, Brady, Spooky & I played a few rounds of Magic: The Gathering the other night. It had been literally 6 or 7 years since I last played MTG, but it’s like riding a bicycle: you never really forget how.

There’s a new set called Shadowmoor coming out next week and it looks like it’s going to have some killer artwork. I browsed through this visual spoiler list and picked out a few that I liked (see above). I don’t suppose I can call it a “horror” card set but it’s at least got some gnarly monsters and junk. I’ll probably grab a couple preconstructed theme decks when they hit the stores.

Any other MTG players out there? Don’t be ashamed - we’re nerds, too! Spooky McPhee’s even got us dipping our toes into the World of Warcraft trading card game. Where’s my pocket protector?
