James Dolan winning an NBA title is just the latest example of how karma isn't real and that good things happen to bad people all the time.

I think in hindsight the Spurs will regret their strategy of lobotomizing the entire team every 4th quarter.

6-3, 53rd. Played 3 Challenges in the last 3 days and I'm 17-7 overall but 1-5 in the first two rounds of swiss. Happy with the deck. Trinisphere helped a lot against Prowess.

Rallied from another R1 loss to Top 8 the Challenge. Lab build was impressive to the point where I'm unsure which version to play tomorrow in the Showcase.
The less said about Dredge the better.

5-0ed after an 0-2 start though I was given a couple gifts along the way. Made a bad keep R1 that punished me and lost a mirror to a 2 Temple-3 Command Full House. This is my frontrunner for the Showcase but I'll be trying the Lab Build again tomorrow at 11am eastern!

the year is 2037. i have finally qualified for my first PT, Pro Tour Return to Bikini Bottom. the format is the newly announced 7-Year Standard. the best deck is UR prowess. I finish 10th on tiebreakers. my prize is a $25 gift card to the Buffalo Wild Wings in Hammond, Indiana

Not announcing this before TWO Arena Limited Championship Qualifiers had run seems intentionally deceitful. People spent hundreds of dollars thinking they would qualify for a legitimate large tournament with cash prizes. The way this was handled by Arena amounts to thievery. #mtg

It has now been officially confirmed by WOTC in the Pro Tour discord.
When I thought I qualified for Arena Limited Championship I think it was fair to assume it was a draft event at least in some way resembling Arena Championship. In reality I just qualified for a LCQ on Arena.

When I say Commander players ruined Magic I mean it. We have never and will never see the Commander YouTube Ecosystem address something like this because it is, for all of their projection, more elitist and Fuck Yours Got Mine than competitive players

as someone qualified this is extremely frustrating, but I get it. there's only so much money to go around. what's more important is guys named shit like CommandTheFriendZone get sent $8000 worth of collector boxes

Bad league, mostly due to my own mistakes. But I still didn't like Chrysalis. It just doesn't play that good of defense against the aggro decks to justify playing it over a card that's better in other matchups.
Going to try a Mono-G Icetill build tomorrow!

the moral policing that liberal americans do on twitter is genuinely insane. you simply cannot pretend to stand with the people in asia and africa AND ask for sympathy for the US military in the same breath. this is NOT a nuanced topic. it is very black and white.

Latest Patreon drop is live covering all things Broodscale! I go over why I think it's a big winner from the bans, my lists for the two major versions, and a few cards I'm looking to try in the flex slots. Guide update to come later this month.

Only had time for one league but picked up the trophy! Unfortunately I didn't get to see Lab-Devourer in action much as the matchups weren't favorable for it, but that makes the trophy more impressive I suppose. I'd lean Gruul for now but it's an open question. Back at it Monday!
