Despite two bundles and a pre release, I've only got one card I wanted for my commander decks. Got a booster box coming but dang. I hope I don't get a fourth Maralen out of it.

Had a blast though. I haven't gone in almost a decade to a prerelease so I was super worried. The others I've been to had way too much down time between bouts.

I assume fourth, but the percentages and w-l confuse me.

So, I have no idea what this chart means. What place did we finish?

Wife's deck. The pool here for White and Blue was better, and this deck carried us, specifically Sigg who managed to show up every game. My MVP was the Sting-Slinger.
Sorry for the glare and angle.

2HG tournament with the wife. Went 2-1, and frankly I'm not sure how we did it. Merfolk kinda got there but the pool we got was shadowed by the consistency of our opponents' decks. Here my pile but in its final interaction. Tried to go big mana into creatures and stomping. 16 lands, 8 and 8.

Amen.
Going to a prerelease tonight but the non zero chance I'm getting some TMNT stuff is killing my vibe.

Getting a promo of a set I didn't specifically pay for and not one I did specifically pay for will be quite a vibe kill and irritating if it happens. I don't even take the free promo from the shop on commander night cause my last three were UB.
Replacement isn't guaranteed either.

If I get one in my kit I'm actually going to be pretty offended. Either it's some dumbass ploy for the next set or they didn't give enough attention to this one. Easy offense.

I'm very serious when I say if they ever took the oversized die out I'd never buy a bundle again. It's is also good value for the price (if it stops going up).

I generally don't like to post nonMagic things and I try to be at least neutral for other stuff on here, but it has been a heck of a week and my kid just t xted me and said ICE is at their school. Not doing okay right now.

Just caught Ogrepon in Cobblemon, one of the few legendary pokemon I like.
Revamped an area in my wife's territory as well as a surprise.
It's a good morning.
Hopefully work will continue the trend 😄

Thanks for posting this. I went to check to see when the next issue arrives as I thought I preordered it but apparently I had not 🫤 fixed that.
No nostalgia for me per se but seeing the history of the game through this is really fun 😁
