How did these two beings, Magic and Sindbad, happen upon colliding paths?

Sindbad's Voyages
It began in '98 about the time Urza's Saga was being released. I walked by a table where people were engaged
in a cryptic game of cards amidst shouts of "tapping" this and "attacking" with that. I was hooked. Some 60,000+
cards later, the collection binders hold about 74% of the 12,134 unique cards printed. With 50+ decks made, I
play whenever sleep, food, and work allow. I have run and played in casual tournaments from Hawaii to Virgina. I began
playing MTGO (where I hold 16,026 cards) in 2002. My prized possession in the physical collection is an Unlimited
Black Lotus. My favorite online card is probably Morphling! What kind of player am I? A " Commando (CAFP)"
My clan is Myrmidon, and I am the Captain.

What is THE best card for art? The best artist overall? Which card is the most efficient or
powerful? I'll be looking further into these deep philosophical questions in the weeks, months, and even years ahead. Until
then, just know, I am a huge fan of cards done by Christopher Rush and rk post.
Got Magic?
