If you like the stream, please feel free to donate. All donations will be used for product on MODO, new peripherals (mic, etc), and travel to real life events! If you would like to donate cards or tickets on MODO please feel free to contact me, as they help quite a bit!

The stream is currently in a state of flux.

##*Who are you?* I’m CVM! I write for Starcitygames.com! I also work for CardKingdom.com here in Seattle. I play MTG and HEX and produce content for both! ##*What is this?* [Magic: the Gathering Online](https://accounts.onlinegaming.wizards.com/) ##*Is it free?* Tickets are in-game currency on approx. a 1:1 basis with US Dollars. They are used to buy cards and enter tournaments, but there are also practice and free play rooms that can be joined. ##*Do you have a job?* I do now! I am working full time at Card Kingdom working on pricing and inventory.I am still writing for SCG weekly, and doing the weekly newsletter for Card Kingdom. I also commentate for SCGLive! I'm pretty busy, but I love to stream. ##*Why is everyone crazy about your beard?* Not sure really. I mean, it is pretty sweet, but what started as a joke turned into something a bit more and I’ve been letting it grow from there. I am planning on shaving completely once I actually win an event, but I will be growing it back out. I don’t think I look very good clean shaven, and well, the beard is pretty damn sweet! ##*I like your music, can I have your playlist?* My music is controlled by my Subscribers! I have a generic playlist that plays, but Subs control it with requests! ##*There seems to be a lot of downtime in between rounds, why don’t you double queue?* I am still very novice at MTGO and streaming in general and I can’t really double queue and interact with the stream at the same time. My play gets much worse, mistakes are made, and I wind up ignoring the chat as a result. I try to fill the time with chats and giveaways, but I may start playing an Emulator in between rounds – Mega Man is my favorite.

##Articles go live Wednesdays at 11am EST ##Versus Videos go live Fridays at 11am EST (currently on hiatus since I moved to Seattle)

What is this game?! Well, fellow Stormbeard Dragons, it is Hex. All the best things of Hearthstone, Magic: the Gathering, and World of Warcraft added into one MMOTCG. That's right, Massive Multiplayer Online Trading Card Game. Meeting all classic gamer's needs with a PvE campaign that's exciting and a great way to learn the Hex basics, it also boasts a robust in game card economy and a game system that's as simple as Hearthstone to learn, and as challenging as Magic: the Gathering to master. **Make sure you check out my content over at HexPrimal.com and use coupon code CVM5 to save 5% on all your purchases!**
