Conjurer of cheap tricks. To my nerd followers: Sorry if I post about the NBA. To my NBA followers: Sorry if I post about magic the gathering.
FYI my methodology = tracking rank ranges based on preseason content in my own spreadsheet, and looking at the ones with highest StdDev

Obviously only accounting for results so far

As an example, Dan, Ben, and Josh were all wisely low on Sabonis, but Josh had the hardest fade, thus gets the W

Some learnings
Sarr— Ben was a Sarr super guy 👏
Reaves— Everyone high, Ben highest
Duren— Dan role assessment W
LaMelo, Amen, Poole, Shaedon— Dan's Old Manism = W
Avdija— Lloyd's young manism = W
Sengun, Kel'el, Podz— Lloyd role assessment W

Request for offseason pod on role assessment methodology💖

So good lol

Me and the wifey were losing it at how shellacked he got in the finals. Cara not only sold him on her act, but understood he wouldn’t be smart enough to plan ahead and anticipate Cara’s swap. Then his PAIN when the fake sibling numbers / professions got revealed 😂

These are great picks. That 5th spot on the 1st team is gonna be really interesting.

I might have LeBron in that slot, Donovan on 2nd team, and then swap Cade (who should be in MIP discussions) and Steph (who scuffled with quite a few ~10-point duds b/w his usual masterclasses).

At least 1 prerelease sealed in, yall killed it. Mobilize was very fun to play with and against!

I sorta think we’re seeing the impact of this awesome draft class & it may self-correct in ‘25-26?

The tankiest teams (Tor, Uta, Was) are being *unbelievably* egregious

But the teams with ~locked playoff position are actually not being that bad? (I say this as someone with lots of Mobley & J Dub)

He was very good when he got run earlier in the year too

I STG this year is more chaotic than any since the covid season

Haha Champagnie doused your “top 75 ROS” pretty hard, huh? ❤️❤️ (I was a believer too, the Flagg Tank is just too strong league-wide)

Cool

Thank you for the impromptu AMA! Mtg has been looking more and more awesome every year imo. Fun to see behind the curtain a little

V cool

& Awesome frames 💯 — this set looks so good

What are some considerations you factor in when you do card you know will get borderless treatments?

In Silver’s (half-hearted) defense, this season things have (re-?)escalated. His handling this season has been haphazard and bad. But I bet there are changes for next season.

Does WotC always share the graphic design choices for assigned cards or is this new / occasional?

Card looks amazing 🤌
