The depth of posts at MTGO boards

I have to say that the intelligent conversations, debates and detailed arguments (sometimes strongly tet-a-tet) really keep bringing me back to MTGO. The forums have a casual area (Tranquil Thicket), a general area for MTGO-related posts (MTGO General), a sub-forum for Player Run Events (such as PDC 100% commons gaming) and other forums for card strategies, clans, forums for help/card trading/selling etc.

We have what I would say are some of the most passion posters of intelligence around. Truly the threads become detailed white papers of analysis. This is the sort of "Rubiks Cube" looking at issues that makes me happy. No stone gets left unturned.

While its not perfect - compared to some other online communities - it clearly shines above.

Welcome to Tharionwind's PDC blog

Welcome to my Paupers Deck Challenge blog. Its amazing whats happened over the last nearly 5 years of MTGO being live *and* 3.5 years of PDC gaming. MTGO is 24x7 Magic the gathering gaming online created/ran by Wizards of the Coast (www.wizards.com)

PDC aka Paupers Deck Challenge is 100% commons gaming. Similiar to Peasant Magic but uncommons (and zero rares).

The original article on the PDC phenomenon is located here (from Wizards MTGO Into the Aether Column):

There are a few great sites for PDC information:

Two great chat rooms within MTGO itself: (in MTGO at a text prompt use the /join xxx (xxx being name of the player made chatroom you wish to join).

/join pdc (where Paupers come to play against others in their 100% commons gaming)

and as well

/join bbs (members of the MTGO boards community - very helpful folk)

More mistful tidings to come!
