A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

Made top 8 of the legacy showcase challenge today, losing in the quarters unfortunately. I played basically the same list as yesterday (-1 daze for +1 flow state), deck continues to feel really really strong and I'm not sure why everyone plays the murktide version instead 🤷‍♀️ @fireshoes.bsky.social

WE HAVE OUR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND WINNERS! Bobby Wescott and Kate Chelberg take home the first invites from Game Haven with Esper Stiflenaught and Izzet Tempo! Join us in congratulating them and we'll see you at Level Up Games on June 6th for the next BCQ!

Won a DMV Legacy League BCQ with good ol UR Standard cards, deck was great but should probably be playing a 4th Flow State haha. Hopefully I win the showcase challenge today as well 🤞

Magic: The Gathering writing has a short half-life. Historically-important articles are taken offline every year. This sucks. That's why I'm launching Library of Leng, an index of 32 years of Magic writing. 150k+ articles, 20+ sites, fully searchable. library-of-leng.com

Have started getting into premodern a bit recently and the gameplay is a nice change of pace, things feel a lot more incremental which is fun! Have only been playing burn so far and I've been doing quite well with it (3 trophies in 7 leagues and a paper top 8). Excited to keep playing the format!

move over hemingway, we found a sadder and shorter story

Played a legacy challenge the other day (finished top 16) and this screenshot from the final game is what I always want to be doing. One guy, no lands and opponent dead to rights anyway 😍

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

He looks like if The Matrix was about being cis.

Made top 8 but lost in the quarters of this Legacy 2k yesterday with UR "Delver" (Delver is here in spirit). Deck felt great and love to see so many people for paper legacy! R1 2-0 Aluren and Tell R2 2-0 4c Beans R3 2-1 Affinity R4 1-2 UR Delver R5 2-0 Painter R6 ID Quarters 1-2 Affinity

im grabbing your hand to tell you. it’s not too late to start wearing a mask again. it’s better to wear a mask 1/4 of the time (or whatever your percent looks like) than not at all. there’s no shame in starting to be covid safe again even if you havent been for a long time. its okay

If you buy something online that company shouldn't be allowed to send you any marketing emails until the thing you already paid for is delivered first So tired of buying a thing and getting 20 emails before it even shows up

Sometimes I clean up ok

I like that when I joined bluesky it was a place for sickos to not be bothered by Nazis but now it has a reputation for being super libbed up so when I say something like "do you think Wolverine got regular boners or did it pop in and out like his claws" someone will stop by to say "VOTE!"

Hot take casters should stop taking about powerful standard decks like they shouldn't be allowed Let standard be powerful! And fun! And stop inciting the masses who were already trying to ask for cub bans and are now gonna ask for some lessons ban instead Let the standard decks all be powerful

What were your first four commander decks? I don't really play commander much anymore but when I was new to the game I made some weird commander decks I guess that tracks with how I build for other competitive formats now 😅

this is the greatest cat photo ever taken

Don't have a ton of photos of me playing in events but this one from the dmv legacy league classic the other week is kinda nice

Playing the @dmvlegacyleague.com classic today, deck is for sure bad but hopefully it's still good enough to win it all 🤞 (pic missing 3 Tamiyo and 1 Barrowgoyf I'm borrowing)
