sideboarded my Blue Green Madness for the Mono Black Control.  It was a seesaw battle between myself and Darke, and no matter how many times I was up against the ropes, I was able to come back with my next draw.  In the end, it was a heartstopper of a finish, with myself down to my last life point, while I managed to do the impossible and got someone playing Mono Black to deck out! I was too winded to actually complain when it was found that Darke didn’t have the five million all along.  Not that I really minded; the one million USD is more than enough for me anyway, and if an evil force was thrown back in the process, that’s a plus. Jasmine’s Arrival, Modern Day, 2003 AD The next time my Book acted up was several months later, early this new year, while Jamie was having a archelogical vacation with her father.  For some reason I knew it was announcing Jasmine’s freeing from her Dominarian Book before it told me, and it somehow concerned Jamie.  However, after this point, things get spectulative.  Although I’m not above putting Jamie McIndy as Magic: The Gathering’s answer to Yugi Moto, I need more proof.  That, and Jamie would kill me if I asked her about it.  You heard of the phrase, "M:TG is your brain, Drooling Monsters is your brain on drugs?"  Jamie started that line. As for me, I took the prize money I won last year to set down some roots in a naighboring town of Landings, Nevada which actually appreciated someone with a tilt twoard being a town joker. I managed to convert a former Starbuck’s Clone and turn it into BakaBreakers, a homegrown coffee shop where card games is sold and played and a steady stream of Anime (Some not even translated yet) are shown on big screens.  It’s very popular with the young people here. Also, Landings is the home of not only Jamie, but also NeoGizmoTech, a robotics firm who got the contract to produce and perfect the holographic  technology used in that tournament. Some may think I made an unconventionally quieter change of pace in my life, but you may be surprised:  Although I’m a Millionaire, Wizards has the patents of holodueling, and that demon’s knockd back several years, Damien Darke is still out there with his Dominarian Book.  And now, Jasmine Sparkfloe--a real Planeswalkerr--is on the loose. Things won’t be any quiet anytime soon.
