    This post may not appeal to everyone on my blog but I would like to tell you guys about what 5 cards are the best a most important in my deck. I play a Red/Green deck which primarily consists of Centaurs as its creatures. Hope you guys enjoy and let me know what your favourite cards are!

    5. Undergrowth Scavenger


    I play most of my games at Sixth Form with my friends where we usually play alot of 4 player, all v all games which is why this card is in my deck. Undergrowth Scavenger is a 0/0 that enters the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters equal to the number of creatures in all graveyards. This card plays perfectly in a games with tons of blood shed and death but in a 1v1 can be completely useless or just weak.

    4. Xenagos, the Reveler


    Xenagos is not very high up is my list due to its relatively weak abilities. It's +1 gives you a combination of red/green mana equal to the number of creatures you control which isn't terribly useful to me as I has a few Market Festival cards in my deck which add 2 green mana to one of my lands. It's 0 gives a 2/2 Satyr Token which could be quite useful depending on when it is used and its ultimate (-6) allows you to draw seven cards from your library and places all creatures and lands straight onto the battle field. This is quite helpful for me as my deck contains some reasonably large creatures. The ultimate is quite costly though as Xenagos' starting devotion is only 3.

    3.Whims of the Fates


    If you ever play Magic against me then you will come to realise that I like to f*** s*** up. Even if I know I could end up worse of than before I will still play that card. Whims of the Fates is one of those cards. When played each player must separate all of their permanents into 3 piles (which can be empty) and roll a dice to randomly sacrifice that whole pile. This has the potential to give you a huge advantage if you can keep most of your cards and your opponents don't or it could mean game over for you bu losing all of your cards. I'm known for always putting my permanents into the same pile so I have a 67% chance of keeping all of my cards but a 33% chance of losing them all. Totally worth the risk.

    2. Heroes' Bane


    Heroes' Bane is a 0/0 Hydra that enter the battle field with 4 +1/+1 counters on it. You can pay 4 mana to pull a further amount of +1/+1 counters on it equal to that creature's power. This is essentially double the power and toughness of your creature every time you pay the 4 mana. The biggest I've managed to get Heroes' Bane in a game is into a 128/128. I also had this equipped with Fleetfeather Sandals which gives it flying so it became almost unstoppable and won me the game.

    1.Pheres-Band Warchief


    This card wouldn't be considered 'amazing' in general but it is essential in my deck. The creatures in my deck are predominantly Centaurs so because Pheres-Band Warchief gives all other Centaurs +1/+1, vigilance and trample this makes my deck so much stronger. Especially when I have a few of this card out at any one time. The only downside to this card is that it doesn't gives the other centaurs this +1/+1 in counters so when it dies the other centaurs don't keep their +1/+1. Without this card my deck would be considerably weaker.

    Thankyou for reading, let me know what you favourite MTG cards are!

    Originally The Triforce Was Supposed To Be Made Of Microchips.

    Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of The Legend Of Zelda, was supposed to follow a completely different storyline. The story-line was supposed to take place in both present-day Hyrule and the future. Instead of collecting pieces of the Triforce you would be collecting little microchips to form the symbol. You can also see remains of this idea by the actual name of Link. He was meant to form the 'Link' between the present and the future.

    It Took 3 Years For Developers To Design The Chest Opening Animation.

    There are many iconic visuals to many games out there and one of them is the opening of a chest in Ocarina Of Time. They wanted the animation to look as realistic as possible so they originally decided to use motion capture to figure out the issue. When Miyamoto arrived to the office one day he found that the other developers had already decided to use an animation of Link kicking the hinge of the chest as this made the process of opening the chest look more realistic.

    The Game Is Called 'The Hyrule Fantasy"  In Japan.

    This may not seem like much of a fact as most games have different titles in different countries but this name would make much more sense in every country that it is released. It would 'hopefully' eliminate the whole confusion based around the name of the main protagonist. His name has been and always will be Link, not Zelda. But due to the name of the game being 'The Legend Of Zelda' nearly everywhere else in the world this allows for more and more confusion about the character's name. But oh well, Zelda for life!

    You may have noticed in the past few months that my obsession for Pop! Vinyl has been gradually getting bigger and bigger! So big that I have been searching around the inter-webs for items involving Pops such as giveaways and collection. This is where, though a giveaway, I came across Pop In A Box.


    Pop In A Box is a monthly subscription where you will be sent 1 Pop! Vinyl every month until you you decide to cancel your subscription. Every month, if you have subscribed, you will have the chance to win extra items in your box such as extra Pops and gadgets. For example: This month (March) you could also win the entire set of X-Men Classic Pops and a Nexus 7! You also get a few bits of candy every month too!

    Now, onto my Pop! I got Thunder from 'Big Trouble in Little China' who is number 155 in the Movies set. He looks amazing and has quite a fantastic hat too! The Pop! was very well and securely packed and has no scuffs or damages whatsoever. IT is defiantly worth buying these Pops because the more you buy the more you will save! I also got a wee piece of Tango popping candy (which was delicious).

    To make Pop In The Box even more appealing they give you the opportunity to add what Pop! Vinyl you already have to your collection page so you will never receive any duplicate Pops (Unless you want to that is). But that's not all! There is even a system to down-vote Pops that you don't like so you will never receive something that you don't like. If their super-computers fail to find a Pop that you both want and don't have then you will not receive that monthly Pop and they will also not charge you, how awesome is that?!

    There is also a shop on the Website where you can buy individual Pops, some of which are exclusive and rare. You can even buy a set of 3 random Pops that have had their boxes damaged for a reduced price of £21 for the set which is perfect if you don't care about the box and just want the out-of-box figure.
