Magic Gatherer, Phone Tapper, occasional disc golf thrower. Aiming to do enough of these that I get tax forms for being good at them, that’d be kind of neat. Hot takes are my own.
In what’s become something of a #Gencon tradition I got to draft @aquaone.bsky.social ‘s Powered Vintage Cube! This deck went 2-1, losing in the finals to countering my Natural Order with Reprieve into fiery confluence for lethal. Stuff like this is why I love these. #CubeWillOutliveMagic
Went 3-3 for 15th place at the #Gencon2026 Eternal Weekend Prelim! Deck was a bit clunky at times but not bad for my first legacy event since 2018. Would have been 4-2 if I didn’t lose 9 Ral flips in a row 😰 🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱
Okay, seriously? It’s JULY. We shouldn’t have Halloween stuff up in July. You should at least have to wait until Labor Day.
We're in the middle of one of the worst thunderstorms we've had in a month and everyone's shooting off as many fireworks as they can. Truly a plan with no flaws. #AtLeastI'llKeepMyFingers
The Peasant Signpost Maze is a cube I’ve been working on for over a decade, and I’d love the chance to show it off at CubeCon this year! If you can spare a vote I’d appreciate it!

Never in my life have I been so happy to do tax paperwork.
The next time is NOW! Ran back Ruby Storm to 5-1 at #SCGCincinnati Super Sunday to qualify for Baltimore! Especially excited to not lose four straight win-and-ins this weekend, would have been heartbreaking. Decklist in alt text, matchups to follow @fireshoes.bsky.social @starcitygames.bsky.social
0-1 to 5-2 to 5-4 and out at #SCGCINCINNATI. Still my best finish at an RC and I felt like I played as best as I could hope. Deck choice and tech pieces went well but just couldn’t put it all together. We go next!
I may have to start doing an “over/under people mistaking me for @fireshoes.bsky.social on the #SCGCincinnati floor” prop bet. Halfway through round 3 I’m putting the line at 3.5. Any takers?
WE HAVE DATES! @minimatt.bsky.social Made us a cool poster with @nuclearhog.farm and @prettypinkpansy.bsky.social Logo!
It is 2012. WotC is obfuscating MTGO Data to make formats harder to solve. It is 2017. WotC is obfuscating MTGO Data to make formats harder to solve. It is 2026. WotC is obfuscating MTGO Data to make formats harder to solve. I thought we were out of sequel hell…

From Purdue Basketball to Notre Dame Football to Pacers Finals to Fever OT Semifinals to Colts Collapse you really wondered if the state was cursed. Insane that IU Football is the one to actually do it.

If I had a nickel for every time the team captain for a Professional Sports Team from Indianapolis had a career year derailed by a torn Achilles knocking them out for a full season in 2025 I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much but it sucks that it's happened twice.
13-0. Big 10 Champions. Beat Ohio State for the first time in my life. Heisman on the team. I can't believe any of this. Hoo Hoo Hoo.
Hoping a #MTG historian can help. We know Izzet decks are strong in standard. Been the best color pair for 8 months and got 7 cards banned in two waves. But seriously, when’s the last time UR has been this good? Was there a STX/KHM control deck? Was it KLD/SOI energy? Let me know what I missed!
@cubecon.org was generous enough to include Lucky Paper Radio’s 100 Ornithopters cube for open play. It took two tries but I finally got a 3-0! This lets me name and doodle on any Ornithopter I drafted. Presenting the newest addition to the ranks of the Named: Ornithopter #39 - Biomass Mutant
