You’re staring down a remorseless opponent, one absolutely dedicated to destroying this delicate equilibrium you’ve worked so hard to create. The clock is ticking and it appears you now have to face a wildly new set of threats and dangerous patterns than what you just got used to. What are you going to do?

Welcome to Benalish Dad, a blog dedicated to Magic cards, parenting hilarity, and the cross-section between the two. For reasons possibly linked to a mid-life crisis, I’ve really enjoyed delving into Magic cards lately. Of course time is also a premium and it’s difficult to explain to my offspring that dad is down to 11 minutes on his timer and he still has a third game to play. Maybe you want to chew on this toy instead of a while? No? Okay then, let me just mash F6 and see if I can come up with a different idea.

So this will be an area as I think about Magic cards (almost entirely Limited, barring some truly radical life change), post some drafts, occasionally throw in a picture of the Raptor Hatchling, and mess around with WordPress. Should be good times!

And yes, that is a Galaxy Quest reference for the post title. Well done
