I spend too much time reading manga, watching anime, and thinking about Magic: The Gathering and need a place to put my thoughts.
Also my prerelease deck. It was actually solid, but between playing an insane deck match 1 and a really bad punt match 3 game 2 and a flood out game 3 I only went 1-2. Event was fun as always though.

Honestly the box was amazing, especially when you add in my opens from the prerelease. Almost all of these are things I have a use for and I’m shocked at how many mythics I got. This went well enough that I might get another box for Strixhaven. Covered card is a second Champion of the Perfect btw.

If this is anything to go by you're certainly going to have an interesting time with this LP.

Deck plus pulls from my prerelease. Went 2-0-1 being a turn away from a clean 3-0. Event was fun and deck was good. Shame I pulled 3 different rares twice, but a foil special Koh isn’t a bad prize to walk away with.

@chuggaaconroy.bsky.social Sure some other people told you this, but you missed a chest while doing the world revisits in End of the World. Very funny how right after you commented on being afraid you were missing them. Also think you missed one at the start too.

Why you keep saying limited is on hard times. No, no it isn't. Duskmourn's limited had very high praise. Josh called FF a top 5 draft format. For all its faults Aetherdrift had a solid limited too to my understanding. This is a quote from Maro's state of design. Where is this criticism coming from?

I have now opened 100 packs of the Ex pack in Pocket and have a total of 1 card over 1 stat to show for it. God my luck is awful.

Got a bonus pack in my prerelease pack. Didn’t realize it until I’d opened most my packs but since each pack has a token here’s some proof. Didn’t open it for the event.

Went 22-1 in the theme chronicle event on Master Duel playing Gladiator Beasts. Aside from the fact that that record is WILD by any stretch, it also amazes me how strong a deck GB are when they have zero meta relevance.

My pulls between the Lugia and Ho-Oh packs in Pocket have been wild. Opened 40 Ho-Oh packs already and nothing above 1 star. Meanwhile this is what I’m at from Lugia from 24 packs so far.

Deck ended up a bit better than I thought and I went 2-1. Mistake for this prerelease was thinking Seedship Agrarian was an ETB trigger. Not sure if that mattered, but it's still frustrating misplaying cards even when they are new. Still, EOE is awesome and I had a good time.

Miscounted my 2 drops and I actually have a whole 5 of them, 3 of which are in red. Now if only my red had removal. Lost round 1 but this happened so I still had a blast.

Went 24-1 in the Master Duel fusion/link event with the one lose being a time out in a game I think I could have won. Admittedly some opponents conceded for no reason but still insane record. Mostly played Gladiator Beasts. Deck is far from meta but it isn’t bad.

Never posted my deck from the prerelease yesterday. Went 2-1 and got 5 packs but I only realized today I played one of my cards VERY wrong and thought Bartz had all birds deal damage and missed the word “other”. I’m going to feel awful about this for a while now.

Got my first 3-0 in a bit with this very sweet prerelease deck. Even did beating two opponents who had Ugin, and beating Ugin 2/3 times he came down. Little frustrated I somehow got duplicates of 3 rares but I guess it balanced out my luck for my limited games.

I’m Yoshi. This was a 15 turn game. I averaged 3 spaces a turn. A bunch of curse blocks didn’t help but this was some insane movement. Slowpoke bonus star and rich star got me the W. Truly this was the most Mario Party game to Mario Party.

Jump Person 1: With My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen finished we don't have two other characters to highlight alongside Luffy for the group cover page in the next issue, who should we have along side him now?
2: Other One Piece characters?
1: Perfect!!! Let Oda know right away.

I need the Bulbasaur promo in TCGPocket and with only a couple days left to get it I’ve been using 4/5 Chancy picks to try. Naturally over two attempts these are my results. (If you think this is me just posting the same image twice, look at the time stamp in the top left)

I’ve been playing TCG Pocket and I couldn’t get a 2nd Lapras EX despite opening over 40 packs. At least I opened this. I also have 2 gold Mewtwo EX because apparently Mewtwo is my partner Pokémon now.
