About Matthew Sedwick

I've only been playing Magic since shortly before the release of New Phyrexia, and I was introduced to the game though a friend who played heavily when he was younger. I began with casual games and decks and moved into EDH (refusing to call it commander) and became enthralled quickly, I built a mono-green deck full of the best cards that I could find and that my friends would give me. Although it was my first serious deck, it turned out to be pretty competitive; it even placed 4th in the WotC Commander release tournament. I showed up at TGG asking Jeff questions about cards and learning the in's and out's of the place when I began attending events at TGG and became a regular, coming in almost every weekend to play EDH. Eventually I wanted more and became involved in the competitive side of Magic, I moved into standard and after playing a few less powerful decks, picked up Splinter Twin. Aside from Magic, my other interests are cars, music, and competitive cycling. I currently reside in central Arizona with my wife and am attempting at making a name for myself in the local shops in the area, continuously building upon my collection of cards.

The “No Douchebag Rule”

Matthew Sedwick

Perhaps its because I began playing magic as a casual kitchen top game and then moved into EDH (or commander as WotC has recently coined it), but there has always been the idea of trying not to be an incredible douchebag to my opponents. The games were always meant to be enjoyable for everyone, it was more of a way to shoot the shit with friends and just something to do while hanging out. No heavy land destruction, comboing kept to a minimum, all of course unless the previously mentioned plays locked in a win. It was a very new … Continue reading
