I trophy way more in lorwyn eclipsed than other sets, and I'm wondering now if it's because maybe the last big set I really got good at was lorwyn, and my habits that I developed there work really well in the tribal heavy sets (cut a under opened tribe/color hard in pack one to get fed on 2-3)

“are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” has been knocking around my head all day
one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

When people ask which sci-fi I think best predicted our future, I usually point to stuff like Deus Ex and Cybperpunk. I really was not expecting Dune to be on the money as much as it has been.
