In response to Cathy's recent posting and the series of articles about
scrubs that was posted about two weeks ago, I think a real scrub should tell
everyone his opinions.

I am a scrub .  I started playing magic when Portal came out  and it has
been a struggle ever since.I own very few cards worth more than 10$. I only
have one tradewind rider and that is my most valuable card. I play a simple
white weenie deck with a little blue splashed in for my  tw rider.

I play magic for fun in tournaments at a small local store once or twice a
month. like playing against other casual decks that I have a *chance* of
beating. For me, lt's just fun to watch my deck work
while i think of how to defeat the person across from me.

We scrubs  also strongly dislike cheese. I remeber my first tournament
opponent played an all blue capsize-lock deck and killed me with an air
elemental by turn seven. The second played an annoying burn deck that killed
me by turn four with fire blasts, shocks, and kindles.

Not all of we scrubby people are stupid and stategy-impaired, we just can't
afford five boxes of each new set. Thank you for listening.
