👋 A heads up I'll be deactivating my socials in the next week. Vacation time is quickly approaching, which also means it'll be due diligence time. You know the drill.
Thinking about underrated Commander bangers (again) today.

I think we should spend a little more time to compliment our peers, friends, and strangers in the Magic space.

It's very easy to miss the impact they provide and the good work they, it's always good to remind folks of the fact.

I feel pretty safe in saying there’s never been a magic topic in my time that’s been more split than this (hybrid). While “all opinions are held”, they tend to not be held this evenly.

Thinking about my favourite Counterspell art today.

My white whale is to have a set of these in foil. One day. 😮‍💨

I'm so happy for Sam Darnold, man. He deserves it.

Missed Bad Bunny’s halftime show? Want to rewatch? (4x and counting for me). The NFL posted the whole performance on YouTube: on pace for 500k views in the first 30 minutes.

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."

You non-sports fans have to understand that for people who are really into pro football, today is basically their Super Bowl

My Peasant Cube has had an update. I'm likely going to make some more changes soon, but wanted to try some Lorwyn Eclipsed cards first. :)

At one point I was 3-0 and going to game 3 after my opponent left themselves dead on board while ahead. That was the last game I won. Rough beats.

Going to work a ton on the deck and have a guide out on Patreon (link in bio) next week!
