Really enjoyed the UR Elementals deck I ended up in. It can have really explosive aggro-tempo starts, but has the reach to close out grindier games with cards like Enraged Flamecaster.

Kithkin felt really strong. Meanders Guide also pulled its weight, as the Changelings make it very easy to enable.

Excited to play in a Prerelease with old friends and new actual Magic cards this morning.

Her giving him the bauble associated with the Nobel Peace Prize is like a weary parent giving a toddler a fake cel phone to keep them from throwing a poopy diaper tantrum.

Got a new low score on my A1C and good marks on all my panels and scores from a recent doctors visit. Wish the world wasn’t such a shit show so I could feel better about this but taking the small victories as they come.

I did some illustrations for this but more than that it’s just a really good project “No cynicism. No ads. No A.I.—all human creativity and natural beauty.” Plus: comics!

The reality is that ICE and DHS actually CAN and ARE attacking people who are exercising their rights.
I say this NOT to dissuade anyone from exercising those rights, but to challenge @tedlieu.bsky.social and other politicians to do more to protect those rights than post this kind of thing.

The First Amendment protects the public’s right to:
1. Film ICE in public
2. Photograph ICE in public
3. Observe what ICE does in public
ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.

Dreamt of an alternate timeline where Magic was very aggressively nerfed during playtesting.
The various Mox became Moxen, large expensive creatures that made a Mox when they entered the battlefield. Most of them cost 6 mana.
Except for the blue one which cost 5 and had flying. It was broken.
