Thoughts and Stuff

I'm not going to speak for the writers and staff at PureMTGO, which at this time is basically me and a handful of other creators, but I do want to offer condolences to the family, friends and fans of Sheldon Menery.  We both wrote together at StarCity Games, back when he was known as a judge, I was known as a grinder that wrote a really bad article that had fan favorites telling me to kill myself, and 5 Color Magic was the big deck style of casual magic.  
I'm still around, writing bad articles, but not grinding anymore, 5 Color is kinda still around and Sheldon isn't but always will be in the game, thanks to not only his contributions as a judge, but as the driving force behind Commander.

I met Sheldon in Minnesota, the format was Invasion block constructed, and it was the first time that I had byes.  I was excited, I got to spend time with my partner, see some family and catch up with friends that I made when I lived in Minnesota.  The first thing I did though when I got on site was make a beeline to the judges.  I wanted to meet Sheldon and talk about our writing.  We had a writing group at the time, not like a forum, but probably closer to a forum, where we bounced ideas off each other.  I found him, introduced myself and he was so welcoming.  Through the weekend he would check in on me, and others.  He was kind, friendly, and devoted to making Magic a better place and game.  He delivered on those. 

Sheldon was an incredible human and will be missed.
