Really great journalists are a treasure. Pete Green and I just started chatting, within minutes I forgot I was being recorded and got to have a real conversation about what the future of authentication and cyber security looks like. The result is cyberdefensemagazine.com/inn…

Made Mythic early this season. Some thoughts: you can find good decks everywhere but @covertgoblue and @SlothMtg teach you how to play -- I watch them carefully as they play and see the mistakes I would have made. Then watch @mtg_malone for your daily smile.

Every time I make a new level (i.e. Plat) I play some new decks that are fun and quirky as a reward. Once that is out of my system I am back to my 2 decks. At Mythic I start playing things I think might be fun for the next run

I play 2 decks per season -- usually one control (Jeskai my current fave) and one faster deck with less thinking (mono - B). Once I lose 2 in a row I swap decks -- if I lose 4 in a row I am done for at least an hour.

Choose decks you like to play and play well vice the "best deck". I avoid mono R and soldiers not because they aren't amazing, but I don't like the play style so hard to get better.

PVDR had great advice -- he said rarely hold a great hand in a mult color deck that "just" needs one specific color land. If any land will do then keeping may be right

Couple other thoughts. Learn to Mulligan -- you are likely not doing it enough. To break my bad habit I started playing Greasefang and hard mulliganed for at least part of the combo -- stunned how many 4-5 card hands won.

Hit Mythic again. Few lessons learned. Have a deck you hate playing vs (for me monoU)? Build it, play it -- you see why its good and know how to beat it. FWIW my win rate with that deck 61%. Played mono-B with knight 57%. @MTG_sonio esper ctrl is the real deal. All B01.

Always believed that technology can and should not only be amazing but humanizing. People in tech often say they want to make the world a better place -- I think a good first step is to be more inclusive. youtube.com/watch?v=-MspQqgj…

Should have added @ArenaDecklists which is a daily required visit for me. :)

Just got into Mythic -- all Bo1. Big shout outs to @covertgoblue who has made me a much better control player -- watch his daily videos you can always learn something even when he gets salty. @sonio who gave me some great decks to play with and @mtg_malone who is flat out fun.

Really excited to finally be able to share the latest incarnation of Soli embedded in the wonderful new Nest Hub. Sleep Sense helps people track their sleep without the need to wear anything. And since it is radar based, no camera is needed. youtube.com/watch?v=oKRA6Ghl…
