Missed opportunity to list last Arena opponent in 17. Some random person gets the call from the production crew… could go a lot of ways.

Magic is a game we’re all playing for fun even when we’re talking about Comp REL. We might have different views on what is “fun”, but we likely share most views on what isn’t fun: being rude to your opponent isn’t “fun”, intentionally making folks uncomfortable isn’t fun. Preserve room for the fun.

Better take: “How It’s Done” is the best song. “Bleeding’s not in my blood”.

The Riddlers are bad or the Barrowgoyfs?

What’s the thinking on the Riddlers in the board rather than more Barrowgoyfs?

My god that looks good. Where was this? (DMV local)

Oh no. Not again.

On the bucketing for the decks, all decks with mouse package (HFH, challenger and manifold) in the same bucket regardless of other colors in the deck? Same question for self bounce, Pixie (Esper and Orzhov) and Dimir only in the same bucket?

Thanks for the explanation—you got to my next question before I’d even asked it. 😃

So it’s just each year to April 1? Not a full set of standard seasons across that year. What are the two decks in each year? (Or just a link to the data source so you don’t have to play shepherd through the data)

I’m not sure I understand the graph or the data supporting it. What’s the backstory here?

Just wait till you’re 40.

Ollie Rade, Sylvan Safekeeper many years later. Event was I. kuala Lampur. The thing was decided in the vintage portion of the match with Ollie using Snake Basket, IIRC.
