I've heard a lot of people saying they think FF set is a low power level set and they don't think it has many cards that matter for constructed. I think otherwise, so here's a thread on cards I see with some potential.

Aka The Yuuya Episode.

Maybe the biggest heartbreak of my life.
tea time!

This week @gerryt.bsky.social and I talk about accountability in mtg

It's unfortunately very common that someone does something shitty but has their behavior more or less swept under the rug because they can play magic well.

That's fucking dumb.

Have not said this publicly really, but the real reason I did charity auctions, protest, etc was to hopefully inspire others to do the same. That was the plan very early and it failed.

Can you imagine? The hype around the shit I was doing as an individual, except we had five people? Ten? More?

Walked up to my seat at the player’s meeting yesterday and heard the two players flanking my seat openly talking shit about me + my decklist.

I sat down and they both shut the fuck up immediately.

Weird.

How does one find what actually matters in a matchup aka The Truth?

I’m better at doing it than explaining it prolly but oh well I tried
g'morning! new tea for ya from me and @gerryt.bsky.social!

Ever had someone tell you something that’s a massive part of your identity is meaningless?

I have! And enough times that I’m pretty good at convincing them that games do indeed matter.
Good morning! Grab a cup, get cozy, and listen to me and @gerryt.bsky.social on the tea

This week we are discussing why games matter and why so many of us dedicate so much of our lives to them.

This is our 10th episode in as many weeks, I'm proud of us :)

hey.

a very unfortunate and upsetting thing happened to me this week, and talking about it publicly comes at a great personal cost so if you could take the time to read it, it would mean a lot

tldr: wotc pulled the ad i made on all platforms due to the comments said ad received

in case you want a deck for your moxen + emry + tamiyo + stations post the inevitable breach ban, 5-0'd with this pile in a pretty unserious league (dredge, mono white karn control...)

Cache grab + mav rumble really churns through your deck and makes the pieces come together very consistently.

Dave and I played an average of 2.3 Kaitos per deck this weekend, across three different formats!

Dave lost playing for d2 of Modern, then won to be 5-1 and maybe able to ID into T8 of STD in the last rd, but conceded instead to make his flight.

Card is not weak.

I didn't realize how badly i needed to see jesse win this

it is such a dark time for trans ppl, and has been for a while now

i have felt like I've been suffocating for months, and watching her succeed is a much needed breath of fresh air
