"Spreading fire...One player at a time"

     I love teaching Magic and I pride myself for spreading fire and the love of Magic to those around me . Most notably my brother , my cousin Pong and the rekindling of Magic interest in most if not all of the members of Team Virulence.I may not be the greatest player but I pride myself as someone who can reignite or ignite peoples planeswalker sparks.

     I also love one more thing and that is blowing things up...in the world of Magic. Almost all of my early teaching decks were Red , the Mono Red Goblins and the Mono Red Beast deck (That my brother beat me with after just one round of instruction - which makes me wonder if I'm such a good teacher but a bad player hahahahha) and there was my mono Red Land Destruction deck. Red decks are fast and fun and many magic players get a feel of the game by learning the Red way. My Land-D deck was simply what I loved to call a point and shoot deck. You aim a spell at something and it goes kabloom! Kablam!...

     One of the people I taught was so happy with the deck that she was able to beat really expensive decks with it. This Land-D deck consisted of Commons and Uncommons and the only expensive cards in it are only worth 10 pesos each. Talking about cheap but efficient right?

Its simple and it never gets old. A creature drops , you burn it , a land drops , you blow it up. Got nothing else to target? Aim at your opponents directly!

     Point and shoot. This simplicity starts something inside most players , mainly a desire to learn more concepts about the game. Many players may love Red for awhile but the more they are exposed , the more they learn to embrace the other colors as well. Much like an Avatar learning to use all the other elements in harmony. Magic  teachers are in abundance because they also would like to produce more players to battle against or battle with and like most teachers they also hope that those they teach will rise up to be better and in turn teach what they have learned. 

     I enjoy teaching magic and blowing things up. In the real world that might necessarily be a good thing but in the world of magic where the mind rules  , it is a perfect fit.
