That’s my mat. It’s absolutely phenomenal. Axel is a tremendous artist and person to work with. I only break out that playmat for special occasions. Support artists!

I love when data backs up what I’ve noticed (I also want data to prove me wrong so I can adjust my thinking) #NFL

Okay, honest talk: The downside of Trilogy format is that when you go 0-2, it's not that your deck was bad, it's that TWO of your decks were bad. #StarWarsUnlimited

HSF Porg is down 7 cents, but the HSF Curious Flock is up by that same amount. The Porgonomics are in balance. Oh and here's also some Legendary card tracking. Check out the latest pricing report on Porg Depot.

This was fantastic to running into @krishek.bsky.social on Petranaki after laughing it up with @ajmavrik.bsky.social @keithulhucards.bsky.social @porgdepot.bsky.social and @nerdparker.com

I don’t know if this deck will be great, but it feels a couple cards away from great casual deck #SWU

Hey, everyone. Been gone for a bit. Summer was very busy but had a great time. I went to the SWU Championships in LV and met the crew for Porg Depot. Fantastic people, and they’ve given me an opportunity to write there. Thank you @porgdepot.bsky.social

#Predator Killer of Killers was amazing. I firmly believe Prey was as good as the original. I’m all in for Predator: Badlands.

Also, I’ll be brewing decks for #SWU this week. One card I’m going to try and work into the deck is Force Throw. I think that card is a sleeper… 🤣

Alright, people need to hear this: #StarWars #Andor

I’ve seen people claim Andor isn’t a Star Wars show or it’s boring. I got into it w/ people saying it’s too gritty. 2nd, apparently a lot of Empire fans (I’m a fan of the Empire… but probably not why you think) are aghast about the SA scene. 1/14
