It should be against the rules to not bring anything resembling tokens with you at Comp REL when your deck makes eight distinct tokens, and can put multiple different types of counters on those tokens. Mono-White opponent just used dice to represent all of these tokens. Maddening

Kind of hoping that the B&R announcement for Modern, instead of hitting The One Ring or whatever, just unleashes a handful of the slightly less messed up banned cards into the format

Getting another Pro Tour Top 8 was very validating and confidence-restoring after a bit of a dry spell, but wow I feel like I noticed myself make mistakes in almost every round of this tournament and this has really filled me with determination to become much better at this game

Banned; Force of Vigor, Ancient Grudge, Stony Silence, Karn the Great Creator, Shattering Spree, Fracturing Gust, Shatterstorm, Creeping Corrosion

Tempted to become that person that exclusively plays villain and registers the Level Zero best deck at every tournament. Green in Pioneer, Scam in Modern, Ramp in Standard…
Done being fancy and trying to level the meta-game, ready to force people to try and beat me instead

Hot take; what you choose to play as the 60th card in a flex spot of your constructed deck is wildly less important than having your own coherent internalised reasoning for why it is your 60th card

Exciting things coming up over the next few weeks;

- releasing my Patreon (where I’ll post my Magic writing)
- starting coaching sessions
Stay tuned <3

Whilst I intend to keep engaging with it as a job for now (and want to have a HoF-equivalent career before I stop being q’d for PTs), it seems unlikely that Magic will ever be a hobby for me again and I doubt my future features many (if any?) big events below PT-level. 1/3

This might be the best Standard format I’ve played in almost 4 years? Honestly can’t think of any that come close post-WAR. Super varied meta, no best deck, every deck has exploitable weaknesses, interesting games, and still so much room for exploration

You ever feel like you just live on a different planet in regards to what decks feel playable to you? I sometimes worry that I’m handicapping myself with my deck choices, but I’ve tried 4 of the 5 Tier 1 Modern decks and exactly one of them felt okayish..

Which is okay! It’s rare that any interest lasts forever, and this interest is fading in part because I’m getting more of a sense of what matters to me in life, which is great! But I can’t deny that I just don’t really love this game anymore. 3/3

I spent most of my 20s Very Depressed and Magic filled that happiness void for me in much the same way things like MMOs do for others; a distraction from life. Now I’m happier and have started building deep connections not based on a card game Magic just doesn’t hit the same. 2/3

Past a certain point deck tuning stops being about making the perfect list, but instead becomes seeking to understand the role your deck takes in certain match-ups and positions. If this understanding is consistent with your list then the actual details of the list barely matter

After lots of experience of drafting on Arena ladder these last few months I feel like it is much worse than drafting anywhere else for a lot of reasons, and that it only vaguely resembles drafting at Comp REL to the extent that a lot of knowledge is just not transferable.

Lately this viewpoint aligns with my viewpoint on a lot of things in life.
I've been learning to cook + bake very recently, and these are interesting from the perspective that you can break down a recipe into just a list of instructions, or you can break it down into theory. 1/x

Honestly if someone is burnt out on Magic the solution is to have a break from it imo. All Magic all the time is unhealthy and would burn anyone out, there’s more to life than that

Did badly at the PT. Ran poorly in a couple key spots, but also think my play and drafting were just generally sloppy at points too. Loved my constructed decklist, shocked more people don't play Blue Sun's in Phoenix's sb

I do find it strange how quickly a lot of people move to find someone in the DQ incident who they can see as a villain, when it seems to me much more like an incredibly complicated situation that we don't know all the information about. There's no requirement to pass judgement

Fell from 3-1 to 3-4 in Worlds yesterday to not make the cut for day 2. Was kind of soul-crushing, felt like I had very little agency. Has definitely added to my already very present feelings of not really caring for this game as much anymore

Strangely validating both to see my name on this list, and to see that so many other great players sit alongside me in not making the cut for the next PT
Here's the 37 players that appeared in all five of the PTs since the pandemic (ONE, MOM, LTR, MKM, OTJ). I'm not counting Worlds against anyone because it's a smaller field, but actually everyone except Shuhei was in Vegas. Checkmarks are invites for Amsterdam; we'll lose 7 more.

Actually kind of excited for Day of Judgment to enter Standard from the perspective that it feels like the only way a 4 mana sweeper is actually going to be at a good enough rate to compete with Sunfall (I think people still don't fully realise quite how absurd Sunfall is)

Oh also Standard has been *very* fun to stream this past week, seems to be pretty clearly the best Constructed format at the moment by a pretty wide margin.
Early MVP of new Standard is Caretaker's Talent, I'm more than slightly obsessed with that card.

In the event, don’t think more than ten minutes ahead. Focus on making the best decisions in the game you’re in and don’t think about what winning or losing this game means for your tournament

Would love to see Liliana pair up with Professor Onyx, for some reason I feel they’d work well together
March of the Machine is doing team-up legends: two legends on one card.
But forget about canon or who's dead. Imagine we take any two legends in Magic and put them together. Edgar and Atraxa. Niv-Mizzet and Nekusar. Urza and Mishra. Who would YOU most want to see?

It’s true I need assistance at times due to struggling with things others can just do, but autistic adults get called grown children often for not fitting into society’s notion of what adulthood should look like, and I can’t help but read your post as infantalising and cruel :/
