好闷！！！

好闷哦！其实我闷不是因为没事做，或没人陪，而是没有人愿意跟我玩Magic the Gathering。我对这个卡牌游戏真的很有兴趣，但无奈我的朋友都不大感兴趣。去店玩的人又太厉害，也没钱做像他们的那种卡组。要花好几千块呢！

其实我要求不大，只要周末跟我玩玩就好了。但就连这样也找不到人呢！真的好闷。难道我就这样要放弃我的爱好吗？

Magic the Gathering/万智牌

原本想写一篇关于Magic card的介绍文章，但当要写得时候却发现有太多的东西要写。而且要找相当多的资料才写得出。然而大部分的资料网上都有，实在想不到为何我要多写一篇。如果Sunbliss真的想知道，就找我，或上Magic the Gathering的官方网站吧！突然发现Magic the Gathering的中文居然是万智牌，实在看不出跟英文的有什么关系。

最近想了又想，总算想到要怎样进化我的Angel Control deck。以下就跟大家分享。Rout有可能会换成Wrath of God。

上课，考试，工作

上课，考试，工作。这三样东西到底有什么相似的地方呢？就让我来告诉你吧！都是我们必须要做，但却很讨厌的东西。既然如此，为何还是有这么多人愿意做这几样事呢？难道我们不能选择做自己喜欢的事吗？

为何要上课？我们从小就灌输要努力读书的观念。努力读书的就是好孩子，将来就能出人头地。但书读不好就是坏孩子吗？就没法出人头地吗？最近得知有个人才二十多岁，中三就开始在工作，现在已经月入一万。你几时才会有一万月薪呢？三十岁？四十岁？他不是做生意，就只帮人打工。我以为新时代已不会有这样的事，但事实并非如此。

每天都在做讨厌的事，这样的人生是你要的吗？也许不这样，就活不下去了。但过着行尸走肉的生活，不就跟喪屍一样吗？但现实就是如此，许多人的人生就是这样。渐渐的忘了梦想，忘了自己最想做的事，向现实低头。束缚在工作上。真正能达到梦想的，到底有多少人呢？

还记得朋友的一句话，学校是让有大梦想的小孩，变成有小梦想的大人。学校告诉我们现实的残酷，但并不是我们的梦想大道。

Replaying the Magic

I decided to write this in English, as I think this is the most suitable language to describe what I want to write now. What is the topic about? Replaying the Magic? Am I a previous magician? Haha, definitely not, even though I'm indeed thinking of learning some magic card trick in the past, but it didn't work out. Anyway, the magic I'm referring to is Magic the Gathering Trading Card Game, in short Magic Card.

I'm not quite remember when is my first time play the card game, I think is form two or form three. I not sure which of my friend pull me into this game, but I saw a lot of my friends are playing, and is definitely a very fun card game. The card is well painted, the game involve very deep strategy, and you are giving the freedom to build a deck on your own. A deck consist of 60 cards, which cards to include is all your choice. Beating someone with a deck you build yourself is a great feel of success.

My first serious complete deck is a Green Black Big Beat deck. The deck uses some elves for early acceleration to Spiritmonger and Fallen Angel. The deck even have a combo between Fallen Angel and Life // Death for a single turn win. The deck net me many success, but it can't defeat some of the more competitive deck, as the deck is not a fast aggro, and doesn't have anything to turn the tide in a bad situation.

However, is been a long time that I stopped playing the Magic card, recenlty before enter University I start replaying it. I have played Project X, an aggro combo deck, the deck uses Saffi Eriksdotter and Crypt Chamption to create an infinite loop, with the aid of another creature, such as Essence Warden to gain infinite life or Teysa, Orzhov Scion to make infinite 1/1 token. Another deck I played is Green Black Elf, an aggro deck. As the name suggested, it uses many powerful elves, with some disruption and removal. I still remember the Green Black Elf deck cost me almost 1k. One of the key card Garruk Wildspeaker cost RM70 each when I bought it. However, I have stopped play for a while since then. As I really don't have that much money to support this game. At least for the competitive purpose. Maybe I can play some casual deck with my friend, that would be more fun, but the problem is I almost have zero friends who actually playing casual now.

Guess I'm in this alone, the Magic Card is best play with friends, but almost most of them quit and have no interest in returning. Just recently the Pro Tour Kyoto finished, and my interest spark again. As I got no cash to play it competitive,ly maybe I'll improve on my own casual Black White Angel Control deck. A deck uses some early hand disruption and mass removal to keep the board clean, and drop Desolation Angel to end the game. I'm considering adding blue to improve the control mechanic.

The deck certainly need more card drawing power, Mulldrifter and Esper Charm are all very nice addition, and with blue, I can access to various counter magic such as Counterspell and Punish Ignorance. However, a three colour man base is very difficult to manage. Luckily, Shard of Alara added three colour tap land which kinda fix this problem. Well, still thinking about it. Maybe in this sem break I can finally get something to work. Hope my three colour angel control will be finish by then. By the way, the Alara Reborn expansion will be release on April 30th, looking forward to the new cards.

Finally, there should be a lot term you don't quite understand. A link to the decklist is provided. My deck is a little bit different as these decks are all money hunger, so I have to cut the expensive card and replace with some cheaper one.

Deck:
Project X
Black Green Elf

重新开始

最近看了一套戏，The Curious Case of Benjamin Button。刚看到戏名时还真的不知道这套戏说什么，感觉就是那种很闷的文艺片。自己从来就不喜欢看文艺片，觉得好难明白里面的内容及要表现的意义。后来在报纸上得知故事是说一个出生时是老年，随着年龄会逐渐年轻的人的故事。这样的题材蛮新鲜，就决定去跟女友去看看。

其实看完后也不太明白它要表达什么，反而是主角Benjamin Button在戏里说过一句话让我很有印象。他说：“如果你不满意现况，我希望你有力量能重新开始。”看完这戏后，我一直在想我到底满意现在的生活吗？也许某些方面吧！但也有一些我不满意的地方，但我有勇气去做任何的改变吗？

有时，我实在不知道自己想要做什么。每天去上课，但没有一刻是在听老师教书，只在班上发呆。看同学都专心在听课，有自己的目标，努力为达成目的，就觉得自己好没有用。已经二十多岁，是不是应该有些人生目标吗？每天听一些自己没兴趣的东西，对我来说不就是一堆废话。进大学时就想过，无论拿什么科目都没关系，拿到文凭不就能了吗？但要每天做自己没兴趣的事，还真的蛮辛苦。我以后的人生，也会是这样的吗？

我是不是应该做些改变呢？我希望我能有Benjamin所说的力量去重新开始，但谈何容易，还有一年就毕业，现在才来改变，会不会迟了点。也许是我给自己的一个借口吧！我实在是没有勇气去做任何的改变。即使我如何不满意，也会安于现况。我就是一个这样的人了吧！

也许有一天，也许真的会有这样的一天，我会觉悟，我会抛开一切，在我的生活中做一些改变，希望会有那样一天的到来吧！
