I wasn't planning on doing an RC Santiago Recap (there are usually low Player #'s)
But I took a look at it anyway
There are so many names for the same deck archetype....
If I do this - cleaning will be a pain

Going to a MagicCon in the EU would be fun (despite the image - this was for MC Amsterdam)
Last time I was there was for a delayed flight/layover for a few hours. Would love to go back properly!
Fingers crossed 🤞🤞

100 views on a Pioneer Gameplay video when I don't usually do gameplay was a nice surprise to see before 24 hours of the video being up
Should I do more Gameplay in the future? Maybe tie Gameplay into the longer deck tech videos? Would make for longer creation time though

I think this week I have the chance to do some gameplay videos with no Events happening. That, or more deck techs.
Would you rather see Standard deck tech, Standard game play, or Pioneer game play?

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

I ask because it was fairly easy to snag from my current Stats Breakdowns.
For example, Bant Airbending at RC Portland played 658 Matches & had a Confirmed Game 1 Win in 166 of them (25.2% of matches)
I could even do this H2H for Archetypes if people are interested!
