Direct Damage

I'm on the road for the release.  I'd doubt I'll partake in any festivities, however I'm debating picking up a booster box while I'm here versus ordering one online.  I'll have to call the local shop and see what they are asking for the box.  The various online sources have boxes at around $100 shipped.

I may also call Wal-Mart; who usually gets some small inventory of stuff like this and most people don't even know about it.  I'm just hoping I can convince someone to sell me at a booster box price and not "36 booster packs," which would run closer to $180.

I was pleasantly surprised with WWK at the prerelease.  My sealed deck went 2-2 (my first MtG play with real cards in 13 years!) with Black/Blue/spice White.  I see a lot of potential with this set, and people who were denouncing it will likely be eating their words in the next couple of weeks.

It may not affect the meta in Standard too much (Vamps, WW and Eldrazi Green get the most love from WWK), but it's already rocking the foundations of Limited.  I will not be surprised if a tournament viable Allies deck finally shows up as well.
