Watching @BugsyOP on his way to top 8 worlds.
The Brewers regarded smoking cigarettes before games as a good luck charm and their motto was ‘if we smoke heaters in the cage, we will smoke heaters in the game’ Christian Yelich on this: “You walk by the cage and see the cigs lit and you’re like, the boys are ready to rock.” (Via @JeffPassan)

Nice of Wotc to print a magic card to commemorate the early days of the Pro Tour.

Houston will always hold a place in Riftbound history. With all eyes on Yi and Kai’Sa, @ShawnDTCG SHOCKED the meta with Annie to take down the event! Can the first ever Regional Legend finish strong in Stuttgart? #RCEU

Ended up having some car issues and things to deal with at home so I'm skipping Hartford. GL to all my friends attending. I did buy a pass for magiccon Detroit since its driveable. Going to enjoy more retirement for a while.

I’ve been in the gym for the last few months training reps to failure. Lucky for me I’ve had decades of experience with the MtG manabase failing me.

I've been quiet about mtg lately because I'm not really enjoying myself playing 60 cards this happens to me from time to time. Playing the LTQ in Hartford next week and then I think ill probably sell everything but my cube and move on. Limited PT and arena direct kept me in.

I should also say Reality Fracture limited has been amazing after a year of trash limited where i had to mentally force myself to jam a bunch of the sets early in the year for PTs and didn't enjoy it.

Siu Mai is S tier fast food item and I will not have any debate on this.

You could do a full racoon set
The problem with UB isn't the real life location but that New York is washed. Toronto can easily support a year+ of turtles and heroslop. You can do the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor eclipse thing with Ottawa + Gatineau. The French language cards can be set in Longueuil

Arena is down and I was busy with the RC so I have not played arena direct as much as I wished but its been a blast. The set is super fun and in depth and I'm really enjoying these AD. I'm 2 for 8 so far with a 70% winrate. The 2 winning decks below, the abzan one was absurd.

As someone who’s run an LGS for years: how you handle these situations tells a lot about how safe players feel about coming back to your store and this is textbook what kind of store to avoid. Sorry Liam that sucks so much.
new to riftbound, playing my 3rd nexus night. r1 opponent is playing a legend I've never played against, so I pick it up and read it, put it down, then pick it up again read it to confirm. as I put it down he says "if you touch my cards again I'll wring you by the neck" 1/3

Lost game 3 win and in for the draft portion of the Sunday limited qualifier with a very mid deck. This felt like a bottom 25% deck and I’m happy with how I played every round except the round I drew. Still washed but I really enjoy this format there’s so much play.

Good morning people, last day from this beautiful heaven that is Gatineau. Time to get some sun and eat berries. I will try to win a round today as opposed to the 0 i did in modern. I am officially washed again and I’m at peace with it.

Sealed is a perfect format for casual limited. Good players get to have a high winrate because they focus on the 16th-23rd card and over time rare distribution evens out and people who are bad get to point at rares as the reason they lost instead of trying to get bettter.
I don't understand the appeal of sealed. One pool has an echoed pair of mythic planeswalkers and like 8 total rares, another one has three rare lands a three bulk rares split between all the colors. It seems so much worse than draft for creating an even playing field.
