Undefeated at Nexus Night with Teemo, including an absolutely sick 3-game set against Kai’Sa. Feeling ready for a Skirmish next weekend and Atlanta in two weeks!

I qualified for 1 Pro Tour. The morning of the top 8, I was hanging in the Player’s Lounge waiting for the Secret Lair t32. Kai was in the PT top 8.
He sat w me & Brad and struck up a conversation. He knew Brad, but he took the time to introduce himself and ask about my weekend. Such a kind man.

It seems that Kai not doing well, so people are posting their memories of him in this thread, where he will be able to read them. #mtg

Everyone gets a turn trolling Brad instead of just Corey doing it for a change!

Samma is highly capable and dedicated to doing things the right way. She truly gets it and I'm excited to see what she can do.
I'm very happy that Wizards took control of the judge program back (it's the only way it would work, as I said last yr), but that they chose the right people to lead it.

2-1 at Nexus Night with No Time Warps Ahri, as I’m in the waiting room for my Teemo cards to arrive

💀 🦊 💀 MF Aurora

I think I played pretty tight besides mis-sideboarding against MF.
Riftbound in awesome, people were even jamming proxied Spiritforged decks in between rounds

Since I moved to Roanoke, the most I have waited for a casting decision for a theatre production has been the day following the last day of auditions.
The director told us we would hear by Wednesday, but somehow I didn't believe we would actually be waiting that long.
Waiting is the worst.

Feeling burned out on Magic. The constant release flood is getting to me and it doesn't feel like the game is being made for me anymore. Gotta remember that the best way to engage with Magic is on my terms.
Probably just going to focus on Riftbound for a while, since i'm actually excited by it.

I can’t wait for Riftbound releases to sync worldwide - it is annoying to have full spoilers for a set I can’t get cards for until Feb.
However, Spiritforged looks awesome. Looking at Ezreal first - Arcane Shift looks incredible. Sprite Mother, Mindsplitter, Thousand-Tailed Watcher blinks?!
