The level of telling on yourself by accusing someone else of being involved with something called 'egirls' is frankly a self own I could not write on my best day

I'd love to see your #SpotlightEclipsed pool for a project I'm working on. Reply with your day 1 record and a picture of your registration sheet to help a cool thing happen. All pools are anonymized, so your record will not be tied to your name.

A couple of pros have posted my Elo lately as a dunk. It's BAD! But I'm also very proud of it.
I took a 20+ year break. I played my first tourney in 2021. I worked my ass off and a year later, I had my 1st PT invite.
If you think that's embarrassing, we value different things.

I’m starting to think ECL draft is just a psychological experiment to see how many times I can get passed an Eclipsed Uncommon™ before I lose my mind. Oh, a totally unsplashable pseudo-rare 6th pick? What are we doing here?
Anyway, Day 4 17Lands data is in. 🧵

Going to be even less active here as Lorwyn spoiler (read: preview) season starts, depending on how well these filters hold up. Opting out of previews has made it way more fun when I actually sit down with the cards for the first time. Feels like an old-school prerelease.
That’s all I can control.

Have struggled to meditate for a while. Trying to fix that. What's working this year:
Put in my good headphones
Lay down, no sitting
Close my eyes
Put on "It's Gonna Rain (1965)" by Steve Reich
Focus on my breathing
For whatever reason, my brain is eating it up.

American Magic players: Mr. Menswear, how do I dress myself to play this card game?
European Magic players: This tournament requires a tailored suit or culturally meaningful attire and we play for expensive cutlery.

Back in February, I was looking at some of the new Magic cards in Aetherdrift. I saw Whir of Invention and said, “oh, who did that? Brian Chippendale?"
Who is Brian Chippendale?

I don’t like directs as tournaments, but they’re a way to express skill at sealed and be materially rewarded, so I’ve been playing them more.
2025 results:
FIN: 15-6 (71.4%)
TLA: 104-53 (66.2%)
EOE: 180-99 (64.5%)
OTJ: 12-9 (57.1%)
NEO: 27-25 (51.9%)
Total: 352-204 (63.3%)

three head coaches in three years, 20m over the salary cap, and still haven't won a championship despite having great first round picks. joke of an organization if you ask me

I have very complicated feelings about some dork in a MAGA hat not getting to lose another tournament vs LibsOfTikTok making this a big deal and I'm sure I'm wrong so posting those feelings here will surely get me the answers I seek. Cunningham's Law in 3, 2, 1...

Revisited the data on Spiderman's disastrous Arena launch since tomorrow will mark two weeks since release.
Spoiler alert: it has NOT gotten better.
Whether it's pick 2/design/the Omenpaths of it all, this was massively rejected. Let's use the data to analyze player decay in limited on Arena:

Friendly reminder that this is a video from someone who is being paid by the casino to play a slot machine to show you how great slot machines are.
The problem is that by the time YOU play the slot machine, it'll be paying out quarters instead of dollars.
As a wise man once said, "Buy singles."

My final Mana Club for the foreseeable future is up.
I talk about looking for things in the Magic community I desperately needed to fix in myself.
Thank you to everyone who sat through the constant reinvention and need for validation. I'll see ya when I see ya. ❤️
