Otters has remained tier 0 or 1 through metas with Dimir, Mono Red, Gruul, Pixie, Domain, monoW, Bounce house, Serragon, Oculus, Prowess, Cauldron and to this day. The deck is always the most broken thing in standard and just avoids bans by being hard to play.

ICE has caused enough hell over the past 378 days since Trump has taken office.
Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. Unqualified ICE agents have been killing U.S. citizens and terrorizing our communities.

We figured it would be good to post our limited meeting recordings this time - perhaps it could be of use to those prepping for Toronto!
Warning - the audio is quite janky at times, our setup was awkward. Subtitles might help a bit.

My hot take:
Stop getting upset about a format that is meant to be broken. Instead of calling for format leaders to constantly curate things for your benefit, focus on curating your own social environment/expectations.
Sheldon would say, "Not playing a game is better than playing a bad game."

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Mass movements force change. ICE has committed human rights abuses and those responsible must be prosecuted.
As people protest all across the country today, our office is a third space. We are open for mutual aid support, free posters, and bracelet-making for anyone who needs community.

We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Magic legend Kai Budde. His achievements in the game and community go beyond what we could say in one post. Our thoughts go out to Kai's friends and family in this moment.

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE.
When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it.
And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.
