GM: Charisma check.
Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]
GM: that’s a d6 how did you
Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊
they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
Here is my list: moxfield.com/decks/AP-mqA...
I want to find room for four Pyroblasts in the board. Cleansing Meditation was only theory, I haven’t played against Enchantress since adding them.
I have a few months to prep for Lobstercon, not sure if I’ll run this back or try some “Tier 1” decks.
The vibes were off the charts, 67 players in a VFW event hall. Great turnout from the Northeast Premodern crews. My only regret was forgetting to swap in my black border Crypt and Pyroblasts.

A wooden trophy that says Winter Ball 2026 Top Eight, with Sphere of Resistance second place trophy card.
I got second place at my favorite tournament of the year, Winter Ball 2026 hosted by the @rochesterroyals.bsky.social five minutes from home. I got 9th on breakers last year so it was great to get a good finish with my favorite Premodern deck, The Solution!
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.

It can get lower!
Looks like folks are excited for a limited GP! Excited to drive out there.
My Twobert has served me really well. They work great with two and perfect with four, which I can manage a lot more easily.
I asked the menswear guy what the ideal outfit for a magic tournament was. time for us all to step up our game
this made my soul ache
The band The Format playing in Rochester NY.
Absolutely surreal to see The Format in 2025. They came to Rochester for some reason and still sound amazing after 17 years or whatever.
for the emperor
Yoooooooooooooooooo! Premodern was my favorite format to play this year, check it out!
I made it out to our local Legacy weekly two weeks in a row! I played Dimir Tempo both times going 2-1 both weeks. Fun deck, Bowmasters has been great against a lot of stuff. I am fine with only hitting a couple cards and waiting to see how it goes.

Perfect album released when you were 16:
two weeks ago @rhysticstudies.bsky.social posted this and I did what any reasonable person on the world wide web would do: I commissioned @forceofphil.bsky.social to do a rap and dramatic reading of it

Once when canvassing I asked a voter his #1 concern and it was "yard sales are not enforcing sales tax"
Bless up homies. Hope you all have a blast.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

Just got back from our second Sleep Token show. Had a great time, live music is truly undefeated.
My frequent quick fix for any sadness about the game’s current direction is play a match of Premodern.
