With all the other things going on, this feels minor, but all of this:
1) Dogs should have won the SL Sellout
2) SpongeBob will sell out in more than 4 hours next week, they likely printed a ton
3) If I could outlaw using lettuce/cabbage as an under layer for other things, I would do so.

There’s a whole lot of crappy stuff going on in the world, and much to be angry about.
Wizards getting the SpongeBob memes right helps me feel a *touch* better about the state of the universe.

I feel qualified to give this PSA: that storm dragon is a bad card and when you compare it to 30+ years of dragons it is not in the top 150.

The Commander tiers seem fine for what they are: organization at huge events and tournaments.
If you don’t play at either of those, you can ignore game changers and tiers.

Wait…is that….Democrats fighting even a little dirty?!
New York lawmakers are considering a change to the state's special elections law that would keep Rep. Elise Stefanik's House seat open for months, a move backed by Hakeem Jeffries as a way to deny Republicans’ already bare-bones House majority of a crucial vote.
Jeffries Works With N.Y. Democrats to Weaken G.O.P. Control of the House
New York lawmakers may give Gov. Kathy Hochul more time to schedule special elections, a move backed by the House Democratic leader that could keep a key seat vacant for months.

The FIAB goes on sale in four hours. Worth buying, shouldn’t sell out too fast.

My first year as a science teacher (I’d done 2 yrs as English and 3 as a sub) I had two kids and a wife and we were on WIC because the cost of living was so high and 1st-year in my new district was so low.
It’s really easy to be in a shitty spot, and costs you nothing to have empathy.

There is a boatload of bad shot going on right now, so I went to play Commander and cheer myself up.
Two tables over, I hear the most horrified and angry voice I’ve ever heard: “YOU CANNOT BRIDGE SHUFFLE MY DECK!!!!!”
Cannot argue with the sentiment.

I have had a decent year in terms of buying and selling, but the single card I made the most on was the Pride Secret Lair Mana Confluence. Sold ten for $55 each, averaged and before taxes.
