I like to think of it as “Izzet + Green” , so I’ve built it as spellslinger+ramp or storm+creatures. I love the other Eshki for being a spellslinger deck around big stompy guys! List here: archidekt.com/decks/152424...

All I know is 3 things:
I know the world SHOULD be better.
I know the world CAN be better.
I know the world WILL be better.

If you can reject despair and embrace anger and joy with me, you’ll know these things too.

Take care of yourselves.

- End of 🧵

Things are going to get bad before they get better.

How bad?
How much better?
How much time between the two?

I don’t know.

If despair is the hard brake that stops you in your tracks, then anger is the ignition of your engine, and joy is the fuel to keep it running. And we have so much of a further distance to travel.

So reject despair. Feel anger. Feel joy.

So feel joy too. Feel joy most of all. Joy allows you to wake up every day - to want to see the sun shine tomorrow. Do the things that make you smile no matter how small or silly, spend time with the ones you love, and take the time to realize and appreciate how much joy these things bring you.

But anger alone is a fire that will burn itself too quick without fuel. And when you’re left with nothing but ashes around you, exhausted and dismayed, despair will be waiting again.

Anger is what will allow you to fight back. To stand up for what’s right, to never compromise on your values, and to defend your fellow human beings. Get angry. Stay angry.

Despair is what immobilizes good people in their tracks; despair forces a grim acceptance of the things as they are; despair kills the strive for something better.

Instead, I ask you to do the radical.

In place of despair, I ask you to instead feel anger and joy.

It is ok to feel sorrow and fear. To mourn the loss of a future that could have or should have been. To steel yourself for tragedy and heartbreak to come.

But reject despair, for despair is the tool of villains.
