Can reenter Draft 2 for multiple cashes! My thoughts, in order:

1. These are gonna be exciting!
2. and weekend-long grinds
3. very full of the best grinders...
4. ...except! Once you've already cashed once for the year and Qed, the EV actually looks pretty bad once the seat is $0 value...

One and done in the second flashback #MTGOTJ Arena Direct — I assume this event pairing by rank was unintended, @mtgarena.com?

1-2 in one freeroll/bugged MH3 JPN Direct run and am extremely done. Whatever tolerance I had built up for Chrysalis mirrors is totally gone sealeddeck.tech/ZZrKx5engx

At this point, it's clear Through The Omenpaths #MTGOM1 needs to change something to reenergize interest.

How about a re-reskin? A few ideas:

1. Insatiable Rubes
2. Consume-O, Serial Pack-Cracker
3. Unsustainable Product Schedule (cast it on Turn 1 for maximum effect)
4. Overexploited Player Base

3-1 prerelease with oops all bad guys, games were fun. Didn’t really feel like an abnormally small set, can’t put my finger on why.

My LGS, which is *primarily a comic book store*, very consistently gets 60-80 players for their Saturday noon prereleases... only 32 here today for Spider-Man.

Heck of a data point.

Great Limited strategy info as well as insights about the meta of how this set came to be and what it might forebode for the future, very well researched and reasoned, thank you Sam
My thoughts on the controversial Spider-Man set, plus some strategic insight into what I think of Pick 2 drafts and this format!

The Arena Directs are arguably too frequent to even post about, and I'm pretty over them at the moment, but we all gotta do our duty and share our L's

🚀📈🚀📈🚀#MTGEOE Collector Booster Direct runs, had lots of close games*, more so than EoE draft

I really strive to avoid schadenfreude in this game and to be 100% kind to all. But. I will admit to just laughing when my opponent in my 🏆 game in an Arena Direct run:

- T2: Wurmwall Sweeper, bins two good nonlands
- T3: miss land drop, go
- T4: plays a bonus sheet land
- I squint at the card name

Will they actually just use Tormenting Voice for the Arena version? I vote yes

I also think they should be ruthlessly mocking with the common Legend renames, e.g. “Colossal, Dread Maw” and “Filler, White 5-Drop Flier”

Screw it - episode up EARLY

The great beyond beckons - Edge of Eternities is almost here, and it's a challenging set to evaluate! I posit 10 big question marks I have before I get my hands on the cards, covering Spacecraft, fixing, and more. Plus - stay tuned for some secret bonus content.

I’ve been excited to draft this in the inevitable land bonus sheet set ever since they started the themed bonus sheets. Bring on the pain

Shout out to other players of the NYT Spelling Bee who also saw the backwards version of the pangram before the actual word today

LOL I just won my g1 in a Direct run with my "Rapidly Click Randomly To Export For Sealed Deck .tech" that I accidentally clicked Play with

I had *just* changed my method from 39 basic lands to clicking randomly on the actual pool, too 😅😅😅📈

In week one of Final Fantasy, I plumb the depths on what looks to be the set's strongest color - blue! After taking a look at what makes blue exceptional in formats where it was great like MID or MOM, I dive into blue's deep roster of commons in FIN.
