0-2 day 1 of the arena qualifier. Had strong bombs but weak overall card quality. Feels like there was a better build somewhere but may have just had bad variance, game is hard. sealeddeck.tech/nUGwKQJFPJ

3-2 day 2 with this medium deck. Still struggling to navigate drafts in this format - I was split between GW and RB pack 1, with RB clearly more open, and then I opened Ascendancy p2p1. Probably should have stuck with RB despite that, but hard to tell.

You ever just ascend precisely twice as much as your opponent? 7-1 day 1 of the Arena Open. Probably the best pool I've ever opened.

2-3 and dead in the qualifier. Draft was challenging, I don't like this archetype but it felt almost forced from my seat (15th pick voltage surge). Still nice to compete again.

Made day 2 of the Arena qualifier with this beautiful sealed pool. I don't understand Kamigawa draft very well, but we'll see how day 2 goes.

Despite being in an insanely good position in game one and lethal on board game two, along with a game-breaking bug that I had no way at all to play around, I don't get the invite. Insanely crushed. Just the most sickening way to go out in the final PTQ of the season.

PSA for Magic folks: P100 masks exist. They are ridiculously good at protecting you from airborne particles, 3-6x better than N95. I wish organizers did more to keep events safe, but for players as individuals, it's good to have P100s in your toolkit.

6-3 my first @PlayRuneterra seasonal tournament. Enjoyed the experience, need to prepare better next time and make sure my ladder placement tiebreaks are better - missing on tiebreaks at 7-2 would have stung.

Enjoying my foray into Runeterra. Azirelia feels overtuned, and I’d love to see reactive decks get some better tools to answer it, but the core gameplay has a lot of promise. Also looking to start dabbling in TFT.

Got dose #1 a couple days ago. Vaccinespotter.org is a fantastic resource if you're eligible but struggling to find appointments.

2-2 drop the PTQ with this disaster. I think I was supposed to be RW toski, but I don't see a build that gets the pool above even a 5/10. Had one opponent Koma me both games and I couldn't get creature on board + Heist castable either time.

better screenshot of full pool for anyone who's curious.

Inspired by Queen's Gambit, I just finished rewatching Ping Pong the Animation. It's a beautiful, short show with a creative art style that gets at some fundamental truths about the nature of top-level competition. Highly recommended.
