people are not ready to accept that if SAS runs he will be the Democratic nominee
Velodus✨@velodus.bsky.social · 6mo agoI still see people who are like "It's gonna be so funny if he runs" and like... you are underappreciating how much of a Frankensteinian monster he's capable of being. It'll stop being funny super quick.
was pretty busy this weekend but still had enough time to crush, relatively speaking. an extra $1500 or so never hurts
had a viscerally negative reaction to this design. I hate it. Hate hate hate it
"its scary and powerful and you need to understand that its too good, the thing im selling, like how when the cheetohs became dangerously cheesy. this is as serious as the dangerously cheesy cheetohs gambit. god help us, ya know?"

I do not think a taunting penalty should ever be called in the playoffs. Get real
This really is the revolt of the degenerates, the freaks, the guys who follow teenage girls around shopping malls, the guys who talk about 'virtue signalling' because they hate virtue, against normal people who are just trying to live their lives.

Anyone who gets fucked over by Arena Direct has my sword. All you need do is come request it
Gimmi (Broadband)@broadband.arcavios.dev · 7mo agoI have 2 open support tickets and haven't heard from the @mtgarena.com team in over a month regarding 5 CBB and 3 PBB of TLA. Makes me not want to play the ECL direct if I'm not even receiving prizing. Does anyone have any advice on how to actually make progress here?
hysterical. apparently "we are out of stock" meant "we don't want to send you your prizes"
I really don't like whining and miseryposting but I really don't know how to convey how backbreaking this last week has been
Been thinking about this all day: I have never been less happy to be playing in an upcoming Magic event
Cory@jupiterbrando.bsky.social · 8mo agosubmitted by deck for Arena Champs 10. could be my last big tournament for a while so I made sure to submit some absolute gas, which I'm pretty sure is at least a very strong archetype in the format going forward
update. I get a middle of the night email that "oops sorry nothing we can do" and they're going to dump the payment alongside another recent event cash-out that they conveniently just got my info for. I will be looking into legal action beginning tomorrow @fireshoes.bsky.social
thinking about the guy who Noah Rabin scrummed out of a PT invite. hope that dude gets some great karma his way for the holidays
finally got an update on my Final Fantasy Collector Boxes. ready to [redacted]
submitted by deck for Arena Champs 10. could be my last big tournament for a while so I made sure to submit some absolute gas, which I'm pretty sure is at least a very strong archetype in the format going forward
it would be cool if Standard decks were playable for multiple major events now
finished 36th. Good enough for a clean $7,500, which is, hysterically, almost the exact value of 7 Final Fantasy Collector Boxes
all Magic content now is either a 2-hour 4-player parasocial Commander video or a 20,000 word essay called Emrakul, Ulamog or Kozilek: Which is the Best Sideboard vs Mill?
finally settled on my deck for Worlds. Now just need to get like 70 of the cards
it's probably not great that what I play at Worlds will be dictated by whether or not I can find four copies of a $100 Standard card
Played the Neon Dynasty Arena Directs over the weekend and how Sealed has come a long way in just a few years. Bonus sheets have their problems but I couldn't remember the last time I struggled to find 23 playable cards
