Been struggling building my latest MTG Commander deck: Hope Esthheim mill. Tons of soul sisters creatures, some blink, lean entirely into the life AS mill.
But trying to fit everything in and having enough removal / draw / protection / ramp... I'm not the best builder, it's a struggle.

Played in my first ever Magic: The Gathering pre-release tonight! SPOIDERS MAN.
Went 3-0 in my three matches (2-1, 2-1, 2-0) with this Selesnya aggro build.
Webslinging to bounce my creatures was wonderful synergy. City Pigeon is a bamf, made it a terror in multiple games.
Had a ton of fun~

Foil ball update #6: since last time I spent several weeks with a hammer compressing it down to 5 1/4" diameter, with a 16 5/8" circumference. It weighs 2lb 10oz.
I have been saving foil for the past year... time to make it even bigger!

Finally finished my HG 1/144 Guncannon! He's a silly fellow, love that posable frame, and he knows how to bring the heat.
What a fun build, looking to doing more in my backlog.
(Yes that is real Tabasco.)

Built my first gunpla in years. Getting back into it, had a few kits I'd absorbed from an ex roommate.
He built the top half. I thought it good practice to finish it.
Trying not to let perfectionism get a hold of me. Hate that self doubt. It's fine and good practice, I keep saying out loud.

Was discussing limited physical releases, LRG, and other companies with my wife. Remembered I had preordered Steel Empire Chronicles from Strictly Limited...
In April 2023. Last hears about release in Oct 2023 for a Spring 2024 launch.
Really glad I've stopped caring about this kind of thing.

Need to tell myself consciously "hey you won!" and appreciate how weird circumstances work out.
They had 2x Weezing by the last turn and benched a Magikarp. Standard meta.
Sniped the Karp instantly and surprised them. Things worked out and they conceded. :)
Just breathe. Good vibes.

Slept forever, gifts and waffles, then stayed home playing Palworld. Visit to Mom's canceled, she got covid Xmas morning. :(

We bought this house 2.5 years ago. Finally turning this closet in my den into a walk-in media library. With all shelves hand build.
Been unpacking and purging as I go; currently at 7 large plastic containers of stuff to get rid of.
I had a Bought on Sale problem for years. Fixing that.

Played several games with a Druddigon / Pidgeot EX pair. And nearly every fucking game has me lose because RNG keeps giving me the EX birds first, with Pidgeotto being my last draws.
No exaggeration. I track this shit for my own curiosity and the game itself is fucking me.
Not even mad at meta.

Them: Charizard EX with 4 energy, ready to win.
Me: a troll deck and a leather bird.
End result: yes if you Aerodactyl their active and they have no bench, YOU WIN.
Somewhere someone is pledging a blood feud with me. Wonder what their win streak was...

Public bitching about Pokemon TCG Pocket must have altered my luck or something.

This is just venting but jfc.
I keep trying to do matches in Pokemon TCG Pocket but I swear the game itself is fucking me.
Constantly getting shit opening hands like this, barely ever seeing Heads on flips, etc.
Can't even be mad at the opponent, cuz the game is kneeing my face and laughing.

Built a Jolteon / Arbok deck, threw Ditto in for the random chance of Pikachu or Zapdos.
This was the last kind of match I expected to have.
Copy Nidoran
Copy Nidorino, 1 pt
Sabrina, copy Nidoking, 2 pt.
Have nothing good as backup, opponent can tank + kill.
Opponent concedes.
