Just won a sealed game with Wan Shi Tong - X=8, draw 4 of the 5 cards left in my library, blocks, down to 1 life; win on the counterswing with no cards left in the library.
I love Magic.

This is why a Legend of Zelda set would hit btw:
- clearly defined colour palette (green Elves, blue Zora, red Goron, white Hyrulians, black monsters)
- easily distinguished locations and vibes (e.g. Death Mountain)

I feel like because children have to grok what's going on at a glance in the Avatar cartoon world, it has a "color pie" that maps extremely well to Magic - in a way that New York did not.

Decided to dump my feelings about Avatar, Block-structure, Art direction, mechanics, and more into this piece
It really is about people and place, and watermarks do a lot to help it.

Finished The Outer Worlds 2. It was... fine? Same problem as the first one, which was "suddenly ENDING" and the final boss wasn't particularly great.

Have been playing a bunch of sealed Avatar on Arena. I think I'm gelling with UW Flyers the most. Appa is a beast (no pun intended); being able to fly _and_ give flying is difficult for some decks to deal with.
