This came up in memories on another platform. Somehow 14 years ago… Yikes!
Anyway! StarCraft 2 LAN parties were the shit.

Then I have my boy Mr. House. This deck is all about rolling them sixxies (and a few D12-20) to make many tokens, but it never goes anywhere. I need it to be ruthlessly competitive but I’m not sure what to do outside of tutors and more token doublers.
Maybe aristocrat subtheme? Naaahhh.

Then there is Shao Jun, which I have constructed as a burn deck that loves cheap artifacts and artifact creatures.
I think I’m looking for 0-2 cost artifacts that have strong utility on top of being used to tap into Rope Dart. The damage gets ridiculous fast, but it needs SOMETHING else too.

Kibo! I love this monkey and even bought little plastic banana toys to hand out as bamana tokens!
Cracking those bamanas helps me beef up my creatures, but it comes at too much of a risk unless the player is desperate for life and mana.
Maybe mass artifact destruction is the way to go? I dunno.

Check these guys out. I run a Gerry and a Felothar deck, and they’re both fun and beefy.
Arcades is here too. Sooo good, and big butt creatures are cheap to play (and buy!)

My Magic Christmasland hope for this evening is to drop Marrow-Gnawer here when I’ve got a nice full board.
In 1-2 turns I’d be able to win pretty easily if it’s still alive. Every rat entering adds a +1/+1 counter to a snail. Sacrificing that snail would send dozens of damage at faces. Weeee

I’ve only decided on two of the decks I’m playing for some MTG Commander this evening.
I finally got around to revamping my Wick deck. It’s mostly changelings now, so I’ll see what it can do when everything is a rat AND a snail!
Goldbug too. Haven’t played that in a while.

I have become completely enamoured with this Lego Botanicals set…
LOOK AT THAT CHUBBY BLUE FELLA!
It is sickeningly adorable. And their picture there of them holding their little Lego planter hands? Frig.

There are so many ways that AI could be used as a *tool* by *experts* to greatly benefit society.
Instead we get generative trash ABS layoffs because it needs to make all the money ever printed to be worth anything.

Nothing is scarier than open blue mana (though blue interaction applied correctly is still plenty fun)
