FYI: I'm not really here anymore, except to message people who I can't message otherwise. You can find me on Bsky with the same username or on Discord.
I drafted a couple sweet Izzet decks yesterday! First deck was pip central in TLA and went 3-0 6-0. Second deck was Memnarch midrange in chaos draft and went 2-1.
Big thanks to @MeatMTG for the raid! Appreciate the MTGO camaraderie 🤝
This week, I tied for the OTJ trophy lead with a 77% win rate (the same % as my trophy leads in AER and RIX), but my win rate in IPA was 3% higher and I had more than twice the sample size!
Let’s review my IPA trophy decks and color stats! (The quoted deck is trophy #6.)
(1/5)
My best color combo was Jeskai (Raka) at 14-1, closely followed by Mardu (Dega) at 14-4. Of my 13 trophies, only 2 were nonwhite and only 1 was nonred!
Finally, here’s a typical base-RW trophy deck à la @mtg_ds—just slot in the 5 blue cards or the 5 black cards! (5/5)
Fun stream today! After making some autopicks for this BG chaos deck I didn't have high hopes, but I went 3-0! I'm only 1 match in with this RW deck, but I'm 1-0 and this time I do have high hopes!
Thank you to @barczeek for the raid :)
I had a blast on last night's stream! I started with a very fun UR spells in chaos draft, which went 2-1; I ended with a strong BR dudes in a single elim, which trophied! Big thanks to @SystemMagicMTG for the raid :)
Imagine drafting a 1MV cube at a high volume. Would that cube be most fun to play A) without Ocelot Pride, B) without Guide of Souls, C) without either card, or D) with both cards?
Card images in reply. Tagging fellow 1MV cube curators @CubeVitational and @__Boland__
Looks like a decent number of friends/mutuals deleted their accounts recently. Not hard to guess why, but Twitter does make it kinda hard to guess who left!
If you're joining the exodus, I'd appreciate it if you replied here or DM'd me so I know where to find you :)
There is darkness in our hearts after the passing of the brilliant and compassionate community member that was JBro. Everywhere he went, a bright light went with him. He will be missed.
We are all susceptible to depression and desperation. If you are struggling, please call 988.
Undefeated in the last 3 chaos drafts in my server with 4-dropless Jund and bomb 4-drops Naya! (As for the third draft, I hosted it but wasn't in the pod, which sounds undefeated to me 😉)
Can anyone tell me why people consider Lightning Bolt such a good design? I'm not disputing that the card is elegant and beloved. For me, the issue is how high the card's rate is, and I'm curious why other people don't seem to consider that an issue.
October is ADHD awareness month, so in true ADHD fashion, I’ve procrastinated until the last night to share that I have ADHD!
Here’s a short thread about my experience.
I’ve yet to have any revelations in coping, but getting diagnosed was a huge relief for me.
Some of my inattentive symptoms were off the charts, so it was super validating to understand my functioning better.
Even though I was initially very private about my diagnosis, the truth is it’s nothing to be ashamed of!
Also, I’m a therapist—feel free to ask me about mental health stuff like ADHD, but FYI I can only diagnose my patients. Thanks for reading :)
There are 3 major presentations of ADHD: inattentive, hyperactive, and combined.
I was diagnosed with the inattentive presentation (formerly known as ADD), which means I don’t meet criteria for hyperactivity even though it’s part of the acronym.
