Okay so Tablet of Discovery is one of the strongest cards I've ever gotten to play control with. So what if we made a control deck with it and made the deck good? Exploring this revolutionary idea tonight. twitch.tv/chrisbotelho

The nature of Magic sets’ unified art direction creates some real odd dissonance in groups like Prismari. The faction of people who wear vivid clashing colors to stand out somehow all blend together because their dress code leaves them indistinguishable from one another?

Anybody got a list of places to live ranked by how affordable good quality sushi is?

How do we explain to the kids how visceral it was to press the degauss button on a monitor?

Y’know, it’s interesting how rarely (never) we hear in regards to problematic metagames: “we expected the player base to do a better job finding decks that beat the top decks, because we found them in internal testing”. Wonder how often it happens but goes unsaid.

I think a lot of folks view metagames that have reached an equilibrium as somehow solved, and that the community is “competent” at exploring decks and counters. Which is just… so extremely untrue in practice.

How come a date at a restaurant is normal, and a date at the mall is classic if a bit boomer, but when I suggest a date at costco *I'm* the weird one?

Love how Gwen Stacy Ghost Spider and Ghost Spider Gwen Stacy are two different cards.

Alarm clocks need to come with a sock warmer function that kicks in ten minutes before they go off.

Rnd 5 vs Lessons Maybe the storing luck plan failed me. Hit the less than great matchup, mulliganned, found no monument answers, died to the full suite. Whoops! 1-4, back’s against the wall.

Rnd 6 vs UG Cub Won game 1 with boardwipes, but lost postboard games to sab sunen and triple spider sense. Got to see my op win a mull to 4 though, which was cool. 1-5 and out. Bummer weekend to run bad, think this was one of the most well positioned tourneys I’ve played. Alas.

Excited to be playing the PT this weekend. After much soul searching I think I’ve corrected my mistakes from Worlds and I’m happy to announce I will be playing double the amount of cursed recordings.
