About
Welcome to Recoculous.com, a Magic: the Gathering site featuring articles. I also have an ebay store that sells Magic decks. I have probably made and sold more Magic decks than anyone else ever has. Starting this month I’ve started to put up for sale three to five Magic decks every day.
I have played Magic since 1994. (I started a little before The Dark came out.) Right now I usually play at Superstars in downtown San Jose, California.
I have created many games and I have created my own Magic set. The Magic set was created a year before Shadowmoor came out and it had the untap symbol and colorless hybrid mana, just like Shadowmoor. Coincidence?
Other than playing Magic and creating games, my primary interest is philosophy. I have a Master’s degree in philosophy and I have taught three introductory classes in philosophy. I also wrote an introductory logic book that explains the importance of logic and evidence.
