Having possibly my worst week of the year this year. Came in right under the wire, crazy.

We had 9 for Wednesday cube this week so I volunteered to sit out this week. Helped a newer drafter draft a sick RW aggro deck in a lower-power Old-Border cube. It was fun explaining that Exalted Angel and FTK are some of the best cards in the cube since we’re grading creatures on a curve here.

I was a little down on Glass Onion after watching Wake Up, Dead Man. But I rewatched it tonight and after three years it still holds up. Maybe I’ve changed more than the movie has.

Drafted twice on Saturday for @stav.gold’s birthday. First cube was the Gizmo cube, one of my favorites. Drafted this bad-ish Abzan control pile with Thopter Sword as the win con. The biggest mistake I made was prolly picking Foundry over Damnation. I think I needed to wheel it. 2-1 Lost in Finals.

If Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig could just keep making these for the next 20 years, that’d be great.

Drafted a 10-person vintage cube. Drafted a Jund breach shallow grave pile. The last pick survival was pretty clutch. Combo decks are not my forte, so decks that need specific card pairs feel absolutely horrendous to me. Mind twist was playable with vault, tomb and lotus cobra. 3-0

Drafted the Clean Evergreen cube on Wednesday. No tokens and only evergreen keywords. Felt like I drafted my seat pretty well, but had some issues dealing with stuff like future sight. I liked the cube a lot, the power level of the cube is quite low, and the power outliers make it great fun. 2-1

It occurs to me that in Frieren, Heiter gave up alcohol to raise Fern for as long as he could.

Drafted my mardu desert cube again last night. 4-mana Gideon is incredibly strong, I was not planning on cutting it, but I’m likely going to add some more planeswalker removal. I think I need to fix up the Greasefang archetype a little, there might not be enough ways to bin the vehicles in BW. 2-1

Drafted the 1-UP cube on Wednesday, where you start at 1 life. My deck was kind of a pile, it didn’t really do anything. The 4 mana 6/5 that winter orbs you was mostly a trap. 2-1

Just moved the cat from my place to the new marital home. She’s not having a great time, but better than I feared.

Finally not 6th pick in a Roto draft. I get to be 4th this time. Better? Marginally better?

Drafted a lovely artifact cube this evening, 4 color non-green. Aggro deck with some minor reanimation.
Deck felt very strong. Figured BW was open after Caves of Kolios and fracture wheeled pack 1. 3-0

Workin’ on another out-there cube idea. Trying to build a cube around a card without involving any special rules. First attempt at solving this issue is 16 copies in the cube.

Not really a New Years Resolution guy, but this year I’m going to read more. Didn’t read hardly anything last year and I want to recapture the passion I had for reading.
