Thoughts about leaving my job and an open letter to my friends I've made here substack.com/@catatonicwa...

I wrote about some Magic stuff and some personal life stuff if you're into that kind of thing open.substack.com/pub/catatoni...

I am a machine that turns 100 play points into 105 play points after my triggers shift on my screen and I put the lotus field sac triggers over top of the bounce land trigger to put my tolaria west in hand 🙃 (happened twice and cost me a 5-0)

Top 4'd my first competitive event with Amulet. Deck is real good. Died to prowess on t3 in both games of my top 4 match. Didn't really feel like there was much I could do tbh

It is insane there are only two teams in the entire American League with .500+ win percentages and there are almost two divisions worth of teams above .500 in the NL.

After bombing out of several leagues yesterday with Amulet, I have started out 3-0 in my current league. I am beginning to feel myself really improve with the deck. I just had a Boros player salt off on me after I beat them in both of the post-board games on turn 2.

I remain very anxious about the prospect of starting my new job. Does anyone have any advice about beating the imposter syndrome/fear of not meeting expectations of a new role?

I got the job!

I had two interviews today that I think went really well but man did they fuck up my tummy because I was so anxious 😬

I am imploring anyone who thinks Boros energy needs a ban in modern to pick up a combo deck and crush your local Boros player

The urge to snap and buy 4 Mox Opals is so high right now

I cried watching the Dune Part III trailer in IMAX it's gonna be so fucking good 🥹

Not even a mention of Oops! And focusing on Taxes winning a showcase challenge is pretty wild. Get me off of Mr. WotC's wild ride 🫠 Also focusing the entire modern section on Living End? Lol

I've put up a week straight of 4-1s on mtgo with Goryo's and got absolutely *crushed* tonight. Didn't win a game at locals. Statistics catching up with me I suppose. Gotta regress to the mean 🤷🏻

I wrote my second article. Check it out if you want and let me know what you think. The link is in the Alt Text.

Goryo's Vengeance ❤️

Getting my coworkers interested in math by telling them I can write a function comprised entirely of non-numerics and get a number out of it (they don't know that e and pi are numbers)

i don't really care that much that it's not busted, amulet titan is legitimately one of the worst gameplay experiences still in magic the gathering 🤷

9 cards that made me

I hope Phlage becomes more prominent in beans than Uro so there really can be no argument it's just the better titan (and we can unban the king in modern)

All I'm gonna say is never buy a fucking car from Carvana. Holy shit, what a joke of a company.

don't fuck with fireshoes

I made sure to show off the good lands and the Gritty sticker for this totally unstaged promotional picture for my LGS's legacy $1k

@mtgosalt.bsky.social Salting while cube drafting is next level lol

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

My singular complaint about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is that I want so much more of it.

I feel like not enough people are watching/talking about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. It's such an important story right now and I believe it'll go down as one of the best shows of the year, as well as one of the best adaptations ever.

I don't know who that is, but they have sick taste in dual lands and very cool tattoos 😎

Hell yeah Scryfall home page. ❤️ 🐐

We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Magic legend Kai Budde. His achievements in the game and community go beyond what we could say in one post. Our thoughts go out to Kai's friends and family in this moment. Remembering Kai Budde: magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

Did not get a new job I was really hoping to get. Feels really bad, ngl. On the other hand, I don't have to move anywhere which is kinda gas I guess. Still, it would have basically doubled my salary and while money isn't everything it definitely wouldn't have hurt.

They should unban Uro in modern in February

It's rare that celebrity deaths have an affect on me, but I am so incredibly saddened by Rob Reiner's death. What an amazing man who gave us truly awe inspiring art. I am who I am today because of Rob Reiner's influences. RIP a real one

Is 3-0ing cube the most fulfilling experience known to man?

Any of y'all know somewhere I could get a job for someone with a background in python coding, math, physics, and quality control/quality assurance? Asking for a friend 😅

I do be out here listening to stuff

Played my first and likely only avatar draft. Repeatedly insisted my deck was garbage. 3-0'd. Pulled a badgermole cub from my prize packs.

Magic player who doesn't believe in statistically relevant sample size win rate data but believes their 15 rounds at the RC show their pet deck is well-positioned 😒🙄

Me in daily life: "I only drink water and coffee. Occasionally I'll have a drink. I also try to eat healthy" Me at cons: "It's 1pm, I'm on my 3rd red bull, I just ate the most unholy sandwich ever conceived, and last night I tasted every cocktail on the menu."

WUBWGN22 supremacy

I miss my girlfriend 😔

Picked up an order I bought at my lgs last week lmao

But guys I thought Amulet titan and Jeskai blink were totally dominating the format tier 0 🤔

Back to back Eternal Weekend NA wins and not even mentioned in the BnR is an interesting choice.

I think what frustrates me here is the lack of discussion on Forge Combo/The One Ring in the article. I still believe the timing was really off here, and EW EU/Asia will certainly be... something.
