    Looks like the site is down for everyone.

    • Let that be a lesson to you . . . I'm still pretty fast for an old guy.
  • Well, whatever happens, we need to keep Steve busy till this site comes back up. It's been my experience that Magic the Gathering withdrawals are not a pretty sight...

  • Well I guess I'm just a whole lot older than I thought.

    Friday night magic never had anything to do with cards where I came from.

    What Would Cause This Error?

    Huh? http://mtgdeckbuilder.%C2%ADnet doesn't look like a site on the interwho. That's the message I get when I got to isitdown. I know the site exists. It's not saying the site is down. It's saying the site doesn't exist and it doesn't appear to be resolving right either because of those weird characters after the dot.
