I remember building this one into I think it was an m13 deck along with loads of illusion creatures, and a wizard that gave all illusions +1/+1 and spell proof that I cloned with this. My first ever mono blue aggro control hybrid, and my last year of competitive play. Went out on a high note lol

Life is too short to give up the things that make you happy for some broken idea of what “adulthood” and “responsibility” look like. Keep your weird hobbies. Wear what you want to wear. You should never have to minimize yourself for the comfort of boring people. Be weird. Be cringe. Be happy.

I left there with a book of her short stories. I didn’t know that part from school, and it wasn’t like what happened didn’t horrify me already, or I didn’t know, but the kinship in the moment I learned that, just like “oh she was a writer too”. It hit in a different way.
