Today’s wizard comes from XIV’s EDH deck. He’s a flying contortionist and has his blue brains splattered all over the sky, that’s right, it’s Zur the Enchanter.

Post Your General
Ok – Now that I’m done with my series on Elder Dragon Legends, I’m looking for people to tell me what they are using for their EDH general. I’ll take all the suggestions I get and put them into some sort of pseudorandom queue, and do them as I get around to it. Until then, watch this spot for new and exciting mosaics, every week!
Ye Olde Pick of the Day: Nightwish – Amaranth
Today’s Ye Olde Pick of the Day is a song I’ve had stuck in my head the past few days: Amaranth by Nightwish. It’s on their newest album (Dark Passion Play), and has a very catchy chorus. The video is also highly recommended. Lyrics below the break.

Mosaic-a-Week: Vaevictis Asmadi
At this point, there should be no guessing as to today’s mosaic. As the last of the Eldar Dragon Legends, this one reminds me of a lot of old red dragons (and a little of Dragon Whelp), it’s Vaevictis Asmadi!
Mosaic-a-Week: Palladia-Mors
Whenever I think of dragons, three attributes come to mind: big, flying, and trample. However, there are only seven such dragons in all of magic (yes, I’m putting a lower bound on what I call big – I’ll let you try to figure out what that is), but today’s elder dragon has all of those attributes: Palladia-Mors.
The Lucifer Principle
I finished Howard Bloom’s The Lucifer Principle today, and I must say, it was an enlightening read, even the second time through. The first time I read this book, it was my second year in college, when I had all the time in the world to read. It took me 24 hours to finish. This time, I’ve had far less time, but I also read it more carefully, letting the details sink in, and thinking about them. I also read the impressively long annotated bibliography (a weighty 74 pages in it’s own right), which was also quite rewarding.
Mosaic-a-Week: Chromium
As you can probably guess from the title of this post, I’ve gone full-fledged into an Elder Dragon Legend series! Now, you can argue whether I’m really allowed to have a series this early in to posting, but that doesn’t mean I’ll acknowledge such arguments. Today’s Elder Dragon Legend reminds me of the classic color wheel in a big way: Chromium.
Warhammer Army Update
I just happened to be looking over my last warhammer post, and realized that my army has changed quite a bit since then. At that point, I was very optimistic about how things were going, though, in looking back, I wasn’t nearly optimistic enough. I now have two armies in the works: Space Wolves and Daemonhunters. I won’t go into quite as much detail this time around, but I felt it was worth noting the status.
Mosaic-a-Week: Nicol Bolas
Last week I talked about Arcades Sabboth – the general I would have used if I played EDH 15 years ago in my hayday of Magic playing. Today, I thought it would be worth mentioning who I would be most likely to pick if I were to build an EDH deck today: Nicol Bolas.
