#1 Schedules

Magic players love schedules.

They love schedules because schedules let them know when they are allowed to pull out little pieces of cardboard in public and kill other players with them.

If Magic players didn't adhere to schedules, bad things would probably happen.

If a Magic player was at a work meeting and decided to respond to his employer's question about a project by slapping a Mana Leak down on the desk, the question would not cost 3 more nor be countered.

And something bad would probably happen.

Schedules are that important and come in many forms.

Some Magic players stick to old school methods, which involves bigger pieces of cardboard and paper material that he's scribbled on to let him know when it's okay to break out the little pieces of cardboard. Calendars and pocket organizers are the most common.



Some Magic players choose a digital method, through their computers and smartphones. Taking this further, their digital schedule could then let them know when it's a good time to break out their digital versions of cardboard, via Magic Online or Magic Workstation, or some similar program.

This is not to say that digital scheduling only allows for digital play. It doesn't matter what form the schedule comes in, as long as it dictates when some form of Magic can be played.

The schedule could be some crude, hollowed out coconut shell, a broken sundial and some goat's blood. Magic players would find a way to use it so they never miss a FNM.

Because Magic players love schedules, hanna leak will follow a schedule, 2 posts a week, every Monday and Wednesday.

If it's ever a Monday or Wednesday, and there wasn't a new post, something bad probably happened.
