It has been a while since I

It has been a while since I wrote my last article. For those of you who are loyal followers of my work (thanks! :), you might have noticed that I recently moved to Amsterdam to live at a student campus, where numerous hot girls of about 21 years-old dwell. In the comments of my last article, the .br cabof told me to "bust some pretty blonde girls." Well, I guess I took that advice to heart ;). Another reason for my recent absence was a disinterest in Magic for the first actual time since 2003. A lot of other things were keeping me busy over the past couple of months, such as college and the infamous "social life," which was the reason I didn't touch a Magic card for quite some time. Poker was also one of the major things that interfered, but as with any poker playing Magicer, a downswing is what made me touch the magical cards again. And I must say the break felt good. Playing the game didn't feel like a must again. In this article, I will tell you about Time Spiral Draft and I deck I like to draft a lot: mono white aggro. And for the fans, there's also a new PV pic :P RULES OF TIME SPIRAL DRAFTI got back in the game by buying some packs for MTGO (sorry Koen!) and getting my draft on. I've done about thirty Time Spiral drafts since I got back in the game and in this article I would like to share a few things I've learned in those drafts. I also made a set of rules, which are in essence more a set of guidelines than actual rules. Still, I'd like to call them my rules, as I try to follow them closely during drafting. Without further ado, let me present you those rules: The first rule is: You do not draft black
The second rule is: You do NOT draft black!
The third rule is: The only time you are allowed to draft black is when you are setting up a damn good UB Madness deck or BR heavy removal.dec. And it better be DAMN GOOD boy!The fourth rule is: Your deck is either base white, blue or bothThe fifth rule is: The only exceptions to these rules are the green based Sliver deck (which usually contains blue or white anyway) and the BR heavy removal.dec, which, as I mentioned, better be DAMN GOOD! These are my five basic rules for Time Spiral draft. I have a preference for white based aggro decks in this format, so when I'm in doubt I always pick a card that suits that strategy. Since I've stuck to my rule to never draft black, my winnings have increased dramatically. Nowadays, you will see me passing a Sengir Nosferatu pack one in favor of Amrou Seekers, which was probably wrong (according to my Magic Idol Roel van Heeswijk), but still, even considering picking Seekers over it shows how much I hate black. (Talking about Roel, he's my Hot Tip for Worlds 2006 as the new World Champion, so if you need someone to bet on, I can assure you he's a excellent dark horse pick. Remember, you heard it here first!
In the next paragraph, I will describe the mono white aggro archetype to you. I will tell you which cards are important for this strategy and also which cards are a good splash in their respective colors.)
