In the introduction to his 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen R. Covey evokes the fable of the goose that lays golden eggs. While geese that drop eggs of precious metals are found in various Fairy Tales, in this version the owner – becoming greedy – decides he cannot wait until the next day and cuts open the goose to get an early egg. This kills the goose and he gets no more eggs. The moral is that sacrificing a long term investment for short term gain is a bad idea. Covey expands this to the business world, emphasizing a balance between your productivity and your production capability.

This is a topical discussion because of 5th Edition; there’s increasing talk of a new edition, a feeling in the air. While there’s always speculation, it seems to be increasing.

Those are the decks built by me as of 10/15/2011 in the thread [url=http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75842/27959181/The_Deck_Builders_Consortium:_Well_make_you_a_deck!?pg=1]"The Deck Builders Consortium: We'll make you a deck!"[/url], per request of the members there. I hope this works as a nice way for getting new ideas and even help you improve some of the decks you have. If you want to talk about any of these decklists or wants help with your particular deck, feel free to send me a PM and I'll do what I can to help. :)

So, to the decks!

Hello there! Welcome (and thanks) for reading my first blog on here! The names Liam, im a law student from Australia (first year) and just recently discovered Magic: The Gathering. Ive done a fair bit of gaming over my few years, but have mostly been a tabletop gamer (Blood Bowl, Warhammer 20k, Warhammer Fantasy, Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game), with a few card games thrown in (Yu-Gi-Oh!, Duel Masters and Pokemon). However Magic is my first real 'go' at playing a card game 'seriously'.
