talked for a bit about how to identify when you want to run "bad" creatures in limited and some pitfalls to avoid when you're forced to run them. useful for sealed and strong draft tables

after a couple attempts and a power outage, got there with mardu
twice during the run i ran out Fire-Rim Form as an Aura to push extra damage and speed up the clock instead of as a combat trick--not a play you want to be doing, but it does come up

I'm really excited for Dragonstorm, so I made a draft tier list prediction!
W, B, and G feel pretty deep at common, U and R pretty shallow
Aggressive Negotiations will probably be criminally underdrafted

interested to look at this at the end of the format

Played my first Limited Super Qualifier and ended up 11th place with an 8-2 record! Not quite enough for the top 8 draft but still pretty happy with how I played today

I’ve been rotating this piece around for quite a while, because this kind of controversy is endless on Magic social media - I wanted to write something that could be my consistent “take” — Making this one publicly available to reach as many folks as possible :)
