So we still haven't managed another 7-win run, but this was a very fun 5-win Jeskai, run ended by Elite Spellbinder making my planeswalkers unaffordable (yes it was Boros) #mtgarena

So having quit Arena just before my beloved Red was in every top deck (Bloomburrow), I have been dragged back by the powered Cube. Turns out Boros on the play is good, who knew. #mtgarena

Another week, another T8 into Quarters loss. Starting to feel like a mental thing, not least because I literally put the wrong pile of sideboard cards in this time. Ah well, back to back T8 very satisfying, for a probably last Fai run for a loooooong time. #fabtcg

Well about 2 months after posting complaints that The Hunted didn't bring Fai - we're back in the T8! Punishing the slow decks with relentless go again and huge spike turns. Still can't make it past the quarters though #fabtcg

Finally summoned up the courage to get a tattoo, inspired by The Fox from @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social. A reminder to follow his wisdom and not care what people think as much, and also a nice thing towards a long history of Nerd Hobbies on my end. So pleased with it.

Life in games continues, today with Mahjong, which is simple, fun, and complex enough to spend a whole lifetime getting good at.
