Where do you play?
Comic Culture in Lincoln and Archeron Games in Hull are regular haunts.
Also attend Space, Myth and Magic at Scarborough and used to attend the Doncaster Card Wars.
What is your favorite Magic Card of all time?
Hypnotic Specter, I have a collection of them from Beta to Foil Ninth. Others include Chinese, Japanese, German, Russian, Portuguese and Italian.
What do you like the most about the Time Spiral formats?
The Time shifted cards, they break the colour pie and add spice to the game.
Favourite Recent Expansion ?
Coldsnap, it is great for sealed and a fun format. Has some especially solid cards which I like, Adarkar Valkyrie and Ohran Viper which are amongst my favourites.
What are you aims regarding Magic for the next year?
Have spent this year learning how to play again and was delighted to qualify for Store Team Challenge and Top 8 at a PTQ. Need to work on my ratings next year and aiming to have all rankings back over 1600 and climbing.
