Omni-Tell is over-performing by a colossal rate!

Doomsday, Oops, Ocelot Pride and Lands also putting up very good numbers.

I just watched First Cow (2019) and thought it was pretty good. Some of the low light photography was quite underwhelming, but that aside it was enthralling with some incredible costume work.

Just rewatched Thee Warriors (1979). Such a small and simply film yet enormously influential. Certainly one of the guiding pieces that inspired so many classic films from the 80s that built upon it.

Marit Lage is the new secret spice for Mono Red Stompy in #MTGLegacy

Is it me, or does Mark Kelly look like an old Hugh Jackman playing Professor X?

Caught my first shiny in Pokémon ZA today.

Progress wise I think I'm rank C.

The far right being opposed to the Labour budget doesn't mean the budget is good.

It's almost Depthcember time for the channel!

Centrists at the time moved to backing Hitler.

Storm of Memories is pretty busted tbh.

Every time I've cast it, I play my entire deck that turn. Usually turn 2-3.

I pioneered the fair black hate bears style deck a few years back and it just got some amazing upgrades

Obsessive Search is the best Phyrexian Arena variant we've got now. It's really strong and will be in a bunch of decklists. Mai is solid too

Video of this deck will be out on Tuesday

Build your own Entomb is still pretty good.

A friend of mine was at a store and a new player was there talking about 40k Ad Mech and was like "what are your favourite big robots to play?" And they had to explain we only have one robot in 40 k. :'(

With the first week of our new #MTGLegacy meta, let's take a look at the data from the Challenge level events!

Oops won 60% of the events and massively over-performed,

Turbo Reanimator had it's best weekend for like 2 years with a huge over-rep rate from 3 top 8s.

Facebook decided to show me my favourite 6 Pokémon from 3 years ago. I think only three of these make my current list.

This is in fact, my favourite owl and one of my top 10 animals.

It's the Northern white-faced owl, and when it's threatened by something large it makes itself thin to look like a cat. When it's threatened by something not so large, it puffs itself up.

It's basically three owls in one!

WTF is this shit?

I love Avatar as a TV show, but why are you making my beloved Marit Lage look so bad?

There's an anonymous local in my area who keeps knitting increasingly extravagant things to put on top of post-boxes, however the locals have given them a nickname that makes me snigger every time I see it...

"The Tilehurst Topper"

Hit my end of year subscriber goal much earlier than I thought!

Maybe end of next year we try for 10,000!

Entomb has finally stopped getting away with it!

2 bans is what I described as the "bare minimum" they could get away with. Not touching Tamiyo nor The One Ring seems like we're going to be left wanting by the next BnR yet again.
