2010’s Grand Prix Madrid has been an EPIC and LEGENDARY weekend. It isn’t easy to explain everything that happened this past days. There’s too many stories, too many great moments, too many friendly moments, too many people!!!!
I’m going to divide this report in three chapters. Each chapter represents one day: Friday, Saturday and Sunday (How [...]
The GP Madrid epic report! Part I
You can’t beat GP Madrid!
I’m back home from Madrid. WHAT A WEEKEND! We’ve had one of the greatest mtg parties of all times. Insane amount of people, including the new World Record of attendance in the history of mtg (2220 players); excellent organization, who solved quite well all the problems generated by having 2K+ players; tournaments ran very smooth [...]

GP Madrid, the eternal event of the year
Grand Prix Madrid is coming soon, very soon! At this point, no one doubts about this tournament being the most important event on eternal this year.
Europe has a huge tradition of playing Vintage and Legacy. Tournaments like the Eurovino, Bazaar of Moxen, UAL Power9 Series, DDAY, etc… had proven to be successful at gathering eternal [...]
Pimpest Island you’ve ever seen!
And no, it’s not a paradise island in Hawaii! Raphy from Paris (France) showed us in the SCG boards his awesome Island.
It’s a Guru Island that’s been sun color faded for a long time (probably a year or so), signed and altered by Terese Nielsen.
I love how Terese Nielsen altered it! It’s a very simple [...]
Extended Tech – BUG Faeries
Normally on TP we focus on Magic for big boys, that being the Eternal formats of Legacy and Vintage. But that won’t stop us from dropping the knowledge about some Extended tech for our loyal readers who are trying to take their game to the next level by qualifying for the Pro Tour. Extended is [...]
Pentavus
Sorry for the offtopic here but, today while searching for some images I managed to find this awesome Pentavus illustration ala M.C. Escher style, and couldn’t resist sharing it.
I’m a huge huge fan of M.C. Escher since my early days at the Architecture University. I’ve always reproduced his impossible illusions myself in order to find [...]
The importance of playing competitive
When it comes to games such as MtG, Poker, Settlers, etc… where’s the edge between playing casual or doing it like a pro?
When you play a game, no matter which, you should always be able to distinguish the line between fun and competition. The real key to answer the question is finding the right balance [...]
How much did you say it costs?
I know this issue of the price of some Legacy staples has been discussed enough over The Source and other forums on the net. So, I’m not gonna give you my opinion here but instead I’ll show the latest vignette from Pro MTG Online, the ultimate self-aware Magic strategy web comic, that updates itself.
I just [...]

[Video]: JACO meets Mark Tedin
JACO asked me if I could repost the video we recorded 2 years ago at GP Madrid. In the video, mr. Tedin draws JACO’s playmat, what I believe, is the best art he did in the whole weekend; a Drain-hearted Necropotence. I hope you guys enjoy the video again!
It’s teh win!
Once you reach a certain age, the concept of winning might be different than it was 10-15 years ago. I’m 100% sure I’m gonna win GP Madrid, in many different levels. Let’s have a look at what winning would be depending on your age.
When I was 16-19 year old, my “win” concept was:
Reaching day [...]
