Okay I am learning that knowing the rules of 3-4 different card games rattling around in my head is a detriment I am starting to second guess myself because I forget which card game I'm thinking of when asked about a ruling I'll have to take it slow when im asked a question

After months of dealing with 6 7 stuff in schools, I have to ask. Is this what it was like for parents when 69 was a thing? I understand now. I cannot apologize enough. I'm so so sorry.

First Riftbound Nexus Night with Sett was a success. Got some packs and promo packs. Played Tog's Divine Judgement Sett list. Literally only played it once and even then wasn't relevant to the match I won 🤣 Might still try it some more but might tweak some ratios. Very fun deck.

Today I am working all day, then rushing to my first Riftbound Nexus nights that starts about 45 minutes after I get out of work. Then on Saturday I'm doing a Riftbound "win a box". It's been so long since I've done something like this for a TCG. The grind has reawakened.

Behold! The very rare picture of Anu actually having time to play against André Judd during LXDP Tacoma The Riftbound hype is so strong that even Anu makes time to play after working instead of just doing more work.

This is my favorite picture of the weekend. Went to get coffee at the crack of dawn and was able to get this shot. Sometimes you just really luck out and get a nice one. 📷 Sony A7IV

I fell asleep after I got home and now I have a headache and feel so sluggish and groggy. Now I have to try to do all this laundry and catch up with work before tomorrow. Was the nap truly worth it? 🤔

I home. I tired. I want to play more Riftbound.....

I have a bunch of pictures from the LXPD Tacoma weekend....... but I'm too tired to import and paint them....... I pray I sit and forget and they get lost in the ether of my hard drives.....

Late night dinner and cracking packs. The addiction is real.

MXP TACOMA MODERN $20K COVERAGE twitch.tv/anzidmtg (roughly ~1 hour delay, round 1 coverage starts in 10 minutes!)

It's a rainy Saturday morning, players are trickling in, and staff is finishing things up. We had some fun with Riftbound yesterday, but today is Magic the Gathering The feature match area is ready for the Modern 20k

Doing something special on stream later

Soon..... (As in doors open at 10am today)

Seeing everyone crack all this Riftbound and I'm stuck working all weekend is making me quite sad. I need to get some packs to remedy this....

Wheeeeeee $1200 issues with the airline flying to SeaTac today!! Wheeeee 😑😑😑

I have the most important question for everyone going to LDXP Tacoma this weekend? Should I get a candy bowl for the feature match area? But if there is leftover candy, i WILL end up eating all of it.

I should keep a record of how many times I miss click on the MTG Arena powered cube while playing on my phone. So far it's been at least 4 times.....

Another day in the never ending unwinnable middle school battleground

Today in class I pulled my mask down to sneeze into tissue paper, which caused me to get a nose bleed. When I turned around my class of 1st and 2nd graders saw blood running down my face and screamed that I'm dying. 😑😑 It took 45 minutes to settle them down Just another day.

I am in desperate need of soup. My weary travel body needs the magical restorative powers of soup....

Bye battle box. It's getting shipped back to the west coast from Eternal Weekend. The battlebox will return......... in LDXP Tacoma on October 30th. Hope to see people there

Who's ready for some 9am Eternal Weekend Vintage Top 8?

Good morning Vintage players! We’re less than 30 minutes away from the 2025 NA Vintage Championship. Join us live on Twitch for full coverage later today! www.twitch.tv/cardtitan

Who is ready for some Eternal Weekend coverage? I know I'm not. 🤣 Always nervous before we start. Excited nerves. Stream on CardTitan twitch page

We'll be streaming #EternalWeekend coverage all weekend on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/cardtitan

Oh. I made that. Neat.

The Battlebox: Eternal Weekend edition. She rises!!!! It only took about 6 hours this time to put up. But now I gotta run cables. Oh so many cables........

Straight from the airport, right into Eternal Weekend load in. Exciting. Also slightly jetlagged.

Pittsburgh, I am inside you.

Alright, got off work. Now to take a shower, eat something, double check everything is packed and ready to head to the airport for production travel time, then to head to Pittsburg for eternal weekend work. I hope I'm able to fall asleep on the flight

This usually feels like a losing battle. I sure hope there isn't some weird obscure token that we need for Eternal Weekend. I'm sitting here with background anime sorting tokens all night.

I forgot how nice it is to casually play Hades 2 on the steam deck during my breaks. Chronos may be able to mess pausing the game, but not if I put the steam deck to sleep 🤣

It is now October and it is gonna be a very busy month for me. Lots of broadcast and coverage stuff, a couple of smaller things with smaller content people, and lots of personal stuff. I was already pretty exhausted going into the month, let's see if I have the energy to survive

Huh. I think my rodecaster duo just randomly died.... Time to rewire some stuff so I have a working computer with mic and audio while I figure this out. Sure hope I don't have to buy a new one.....

EXCITING THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!!!

Time for another middle school student interaction story. I have a peak design camera clip on my bag "Mr. Richard, what's that?" It's a clip for my camera. "Camera, for YouTube?" No it just.... "YOUTUBE" (randomly starts dancing) "YouTube YouTube" (runs back to the playground) ..okay.........

Let it not be said that we don’t listen to player feedback! The Legacy Platinum event will be happening on Friday and not Sunday. If you registered for Sunday and will not be able to play Friday, please email us. That and a few other changes will be updated to the website later today.

Ahhhh, nothing like digging through my MTG bulk boxes looking for tokens and old uncommon, and finding more spiders than cards I'm actually looking for 🕷️🕷️ Very timely 😕

The complete 2025 NA #EternalWeekend schedule is live and events are all open for registration! If you see something that doesn’t make sense or have a question, please email [email protected]. Thanks and enjoy! www.cardtitanevents.com/eternalweeke...

The full 2025 NA #EternalWeekend event schedule will be posted tonight!

It's the beginning of a new school year. That means it's time for a new season of "Random elementary school things told to Mr. Richard" "Mr. Richard guess what?" What's up? "Yesterday I asked a girl to be my girlfriend. She said no, but it's good that I tried right?" Good effort

Quick correction...the cut to day 2 is X-3 or better. Thanks for everyone who noticed and let us know!

Let's talk about the badges a bit! Players looking for basic entry into the #EternalWeekend Hall can choose any of the 1-day badges or the basic 4-day badge. Those badges include entry into the hall and access to all 16 artists, 15 vendors, free-play area and the Command Zone. 1/x

Please note that the Legacy Champs main event is now structured similar to a traditional Grand Prix. Day 1 (Sat) will have 9 Swiss rounds followed by a cut. All X-2 or better players will continue to day 2. Day 2 (Sun) will have 6 Swiss rounds and finally the Top 8. #EternalWeekend

Registration will be opening tonight for badges and the #EternalWeekend main events! While you're waiting, how about a sneak peek of the main event playmats? Both playmats will feature the amazing new artwork from the promo cards. Vintage Champs is Trinisphere while Legacy is Tendrils of Agony.
