Played through Keeper. Slow “walking sim” type game that blossoms into something cool. You are a walking lighthouse that solves puzzles with your bird friend. It goes other places beyond that setup, which was a relief and a joy.

Pick 2 is nutty. I didn't have any white cards until the very end of pack 2. My curve was very high but all the expensive cards were great. Threw out my red just to get some cheap creatures.
Also enjoyed putting people in the ol' Gravedigger loop

Playing my friend Tom’s bar cube where cards are errata’d to learn or to be lessons. Green highlight in rules text means “learn” instead of the normal text. Red just means “it’s a Lesson”.

Loved Barbuta, the first game in UFO 50. So intimidating, but by the end you know every room back and forward.

Survival crafting isn’t my type of genre but I LOVED the Halflife 1 vibes in the tutorial.

Chill music and about five hours to hit credits in Wheel World. Turns out I don’t really want a long racing game. Some performance problems and the itemization is bad but overall a thumbs up from me.

Do I play the third Sorceress's Schemes?? I got all the gold cards and Seifer in pack 3, one of the sickest "reward" stretches in a draft I've ever had lol.

After a lot of avoiding white, I latched onto a P1P1 Yuna. Despaired at the lack of summons offered, but the deck got a clean trophy nonetheless. I get what Tidus sees in her. Lots of cards I'd consider sub-par but I was able to pivot between fast and slow games easily.

Enjoyed playing through Crypt Custodian. Sort of a flow-state Zelda game, also similar to Hyper Light Drifter, Children of Mortal, Unsighted. The bosses are way harder than the rest of the game, but fortunately the game has extensive difficulty options.

Finished To a T. Delightfully sweet story and characters. Know going in that it’s almost all story with a couple mini games. I liked how it looks like it’s setting up to be repetitive and then immediately starts disrupting that.

Started playing Refantazio in Japanese (which is above my skill level…) and double checking some plot points on Wikipedia.

Second cube champs deck is five color nonsense in the double commander Brawl cube. Any two nonland Legendaries can be your commander, so I went equipment and vehicle. 😄

P1P1'd Fleeting Effigy out of a weak pack and found out it's a great way to dig your Boros deck out of a heavy land flood. Underdogs are the perfect match!

Love that Final Fantasy 2 has a dedicated hater. So many different lines about how you won’t succeed at various plot points.
