9 Days to March of the Machine Prerelease

Hey PI-Fans, Nine days remaining to Games@PI's Magic: the Gathering - March of the Machine Prerelease Event! With the Phyrexian invasion underway all across the Planes, soldiers, champions and even the wildlife are rising up to meet the threat posed by these multiversal intruders. Unfortunately, this resistance can occasionally play directly into the hands of the Phyrexians themselves, as be they Soldier, Beast, Angel or Devil, all have a place waiting for them in the Phyrexian hierarchy. There's probably something meta to be said about the depiction of mind-twisting flesh-distorting corruption becoming little more than a question of combat utility for players, but we'll try not to think too hard about that. The prerelease event for the 'March of the Machine' set happens Saturday, 15/4/23, just in time for you to load up on the body horror. We'll be doing a daily countdown, sharing our favourites of the cards previewed [...]

Horrible Game Experiences: Collectible Card Games

Hey PI-Fans, Continuing our series of Horrible Game Experiences; last week, we talked about Awful Board Game Experiences. This week, it's all about Collectible Card Games.

You Get Schooled by An Arrogant Player Getting schooled is one thing, but getting schooled by a douchy uber-player is [...]
