BLOG: MDV Forum Awards 2008 have begun!
11/13/08 - You can find the MDV FORUM AWARDS 2008 Forum here.  Please read the rules (in each nomination thread) and note that you only get one nomination. There are tons of categories this year so don't miss any of them with your nomination. ~Streetz~  [Discuss Here]
BLOG: Some General Updates and… Donate Buttons? Are you serious?!
11/2/08 - Read up on my latest Blog entry to understand why there is now a "Donation" button on the MDV Main page.  There are also some other updates pertaining to the site, the forums and visual spoilers...  Thank you for visiting MDV.  Click here to read about the updates.  ~Streetz~
Quick Updates: vB Forum Upgrades, New Blog Software, Registrations...
10/25/08 - Some quick updates for you. 
  • Registration was turned off for about two weeks because of a spam attack on the forum.  The issue has since been resolved by making the registration requirements stricter and thus you can register in the forums again.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  I will be screening some of the new users asking for more information to insure they are real people and not spam bots.
  • The old Wordpress blog portion of MDV will be closed down soon.  If you want to get any information off it in the meantime, please do it now.  I will be integrating some of the better blog posts into the MDV Article Archive on the main site.
  • The forums will be down for a bit on Saturday 10/25 while I perform a vB upgrade or two and install new blog software right in vB.  If you are interested in blogging on the MDV vB Blog, please let me know.
  • I will be picking up on the Deck of the Day and Combo of the Day feature hopefully next week.  Real life has kept me from doing it recently. 

Many thanks for visiting Magic Deck Vortex.  I hope to bring you more exciting news, upgrades, features and articles in the future. ~Streetz~

BLOG: MDV Blog is coming back, but first a few words from Streetz...
9/1/08 - I plan on bringing back the blog and to start that effort I am going to make a few quick comments. While I do plan on upgrading the vB forums of MDV to incorporate blogging, I am going to use this Wordpress portion of the site in the meantime. If you are interested in blogging on MDV, please let me know in the discussion thread found here. ~Streetz~
Some Recent Blogs.
3/2/08 - If you aren't aware, MDV has something called the MDV Super Series (MSS for short).  There is currently a logo creating contest in process, which Ryuzaki talks about in this blog.  Also, Chris Newton has been working on the MSS score sheets and he talks about the scores in this blog.  A bit older in the MDV blog-o-sphere, but Ryu posted a blog about two weeks ago concerning the Battle Royale.  Read about that here.  Enjoy! ~Streetz~

New Year - New Cake by L, formerly CJS
The Art of Ranting - New Years Eve by Cashew
Cake Time - Time for Cake, Time for Change by L, formerly CJS
Syphon’s Wanderings by Syphon

Quick Impressions!
12/28/07 - If you have not noticed yet, Wizards is slowly leaking out MorningTide cards. I have tried to get the guys in the back to try and step up and review cards as they came out, yet no one volunteered, so I decided to give a few quickies as they pop up. ~Chris Newton~ Discuss here.
Darksteel Designer - Round 3 - The Contest.
12/27/07 - Yawgmoth (ours, not the metal god) marches past you with a small army of friends draped in tin foil. They’ve been protesting outside the arena for hours that no creature is more beautiful than a Phyrexian one. Shamed that his metal-lords lost to wart infested Troll dolls - Yawg has certainly been studying hard to reclaim the title. ~Cashew~ Discuss here.
Lots of New Blog Content!
12/26/07 - Given I've was on vacation the past week, I was unable to post the new blogs each day.  However, over the last week there have been eight new blog entires.  Listed below are those blogs in order from most recent to the oldest new entry.

Now that I'm back, expect to see individual entries for each blog.  Thanks as always for visiting Magic Deck Vortex! ~Streetz~ Discuss here.

Darksteel Designer - Round 2
12/16/07 - As you enter the darkened arena you notice a new statue amongst the wall - Yawgmoth - the new Darksteel Designer was added to the ranks after defeating Death_by_Aggro. DBA much like yourself is now amongst the crowd of hopefuls hoping to prove himself worthy again to try and reclaim the title.

Tonight, things seem different. Even though, most of have seen what the Lord Kaga wants in the competition, few know the true nature of Lord Kaga. As you peer around you notice what has charged the mood of the arena causing whispers. Not one, but two banners adorn the center stage - what could it mean?

As usual, the echoing twang of a gong signals Lord Kaga’s entrance to the arena. Tonight, he walks in wearing the mask of a badger even further mystifying his appearance. What could it mean and why? Then just as the murmurs in the crowd begin to die down sparks erupt igniting the banner coverings. Revealing two familiar things... ~Cashew~ Discuss here.
Darksteel Designer - Round 1 - The Hopefuls
12/14/07 - With the competition almost won and Yawgmoth’s entry winning in a landslide we seemingly have a new Darksteel Designer in our inaugural round. The only question remains - who shall compete against him in the next one? Join me now as I tear apart each entry to find someone worthy enough of the challenge. Now excuse me as I get my cruel and mean face on. ~Cashew~ Discuss here.
All in the Family- The Daily Blog
12/13/07 - Yes, I know the Irony this being named “daily” yet is averaging… about one per week. Big news folks, the voting booths are open! The polls are up! The pants are tightened! yes I am talking about the 2007 Video Game Awards! All your favorite stars will be there. Solid Snake, Mario, Master Chief, the guy from… What? Forum Awards? ~Sensei Kakashi~ Discuss here.
The Blog of Madness: Who is CJS?
12/11/07 - Some of you might be thinking, “Well, I know who CJS’ is.” Some think they know who CJS’ is. They are Lying. Unless you’re SK, then you’re only partly-lying. I think it’s time to shed some light on who CJS’ really is, and what he’s about.~Captina Jack Sparrow~ Discuss here.
NEW BLOG: Darksteel Designer - Round 1 - Entries
12/11/07 - Darkness surrounds you as you enter the arena - slowly your eyes adjust to the flicker of candles coming from the center of the arena. As you find a place to sit a voice announces: “Welcome one, welcome all - to the first Darksteel Designer entry presentation. Your honorable host Lord Kaga will be with you shortly. Until then, please feast your eyes on the center of the arena.” A single light illuminates the banner from last week with two dark figures standing next to it. ~Cashew~ Discuss here.
NEW BLOG: Friend or Foe? - or Why not make an alliance?
12/7/07 - Welcome to Casually Casual (and not so casual) Magic. “What is a friend?” Check out my blog for more! ~Saito Hajime~ Discuss here.
NEW BLOG: All in the Family- Tips for the Casual Player
12/4/07 - Greetings to all my casual brothers and sisters out there in cyber space land-town thing. Seeing as how we here at MDV are a family who all enjoy the same annoying habit, buying cards, I figured I should share with you my own private tips. Today we cover: Excess Cards! Oh noes… ~Sensei Kakashi~ Discuss here.
NEW BLOG: Darksteel Designer: Announcement.
12/3/07 - If you’ve been paying attention, I teased you about it a little bit a week ago.  I alluded to it in several places, but it’s time to go ahead and show you what it exactly is.  Based off the Iron Chef format - each weekly/bi-weekly will feature a two player face off to complete some kind of themed challenge. ~Cashew~ Discuss here.
NEW BLOG: Design Contest - One Final Thing - and the Winners!
11/28/07 - Tonight brings us to the thrilling? conclusion of the contest.  It was small, poorly advertised, and it is what it is - a precursor to the weekly larger contest which you will hear about more soonish (as in tomorrow - are you trained to check the blogs daily yet?)
 ~Cashew~ Discuss here.
NEW BLOG: Tynion… writing an article?
11/28/07 - Yep, I have been feeling the creative juices flowing again, and decided that I wanted to write again. The problem is that I don’t have time to follow through with anything anymore. So I have been jotting down my thoughts as best I can with the extra time that I have. When is that you ask? Maybe you should not have asked after all… ~Tynion~ Discuss here.
NEW BLOG: Design Contest: Robot Boy Learns to Hug a Rainbow
11/28/07 - Welcome, welcome to today’s revelations.  Both parts 3 and 4 shall be discussed in detail.  This was the most open-to-interpretation portion of the contest, and there is some leeway.  It also happens to be the most technical and boring! ~Cashew~
Discuss here.
