I can’t believe that Sadie becomes an adult today! I am so proud of the amazing young woman she has become. It was so great meeting her & some new friends of hers at Chapman for breakfast this morning.
Also how fitting that on the way up I saw a “Sadie Rose” truck…

I did some analysis of the recent @magic.wizards.com
Standard meta & things have really shifted - not a huge sample, but looks like Mono-R Aggro is unseating Izzet Cauldron, Dimir Midrange is rising, & Mono-G Aggro has come up

First day of 10th grade for @danafischermtg.bsky.social and her new green hair!

More data from the events this past weekend for the new Standard with #MTGTarkir . Now incl. Day 2 of #RCBologna along with results of the 600-player Open (with archetypes refined to be consistent) & stats combined for all!

For Day 1 of @fanfinity.bsky.social @ultimateguard.bsky.social #RCBologna Standard, I calculated winrates of all decks w/ 10+ players.

Golgari is main outlier (low), w/ Izzet, Oculus, Jeskai Control, & Orzhov strong.

I got 95th place out of 1219 players (top 8%) in the big Limited format event at @starcitygames.bsky.social @scgcon.bsky.social #SCGDenver #SpotlightDragons. It was my first called and stamped booster draft in over 20 years, with my last one at Pro Tour Nice in 2002! It was cool to do it again.

I had been wanting to meet fellow gaming data analyst @nivethenerd.bsky.social for a while ever since we traded notes on #DisneyLorcana metagame and performance info, and I finally got to do so at @starcitygames.bsky.social @scgcon.bsky.social #SCGDenver ! With @danafischermtg.bsky.social .

Combined data (thanks @modernmetagame.bsky.social !) from the 9 Modern Challenges post-bans/unbans. Meta is diverse w/ top 5 at 33% total.
Best results:
- Mardu Energy
- Temur Station
- Broodscale
- Boros Energy
- Amulet Titan
- Eldrazi Ramp
