Pulled Persistent Petitioner and replaced it with Benthic Anomaly in my Brudiclad deck. I was never able to get the win with Petitioner and I hope the Anomaly will give me more varied options for my tokens.

Someone just automatically gave me a senior discount today. Nothing like a random 20-something year-old making me realize I am far more vain than I realized!

Yolanda made poutine and wings for my birthday! And apple crisp for dessert!

I got this email out of the blue yesterday morning. If you wonder if you can make a difference…

I just drew 64 cards with Momentus Fall. I took control of Ms Bumbleflower and drew 2 cards. Then I swung and did 18 damage with Ms Bumbleflower. I didn’t expect they would take the damage, so I ended up with a Covetous Jewel and drew out my library. I love this game!

A format that was run by people who cared about keeping the format fun is now run by a group of people who care about making as much profit from the format as possible. Perhaps someone who physically threatened RC members can explain to me how this can possibly be better?

I’m thinking of Descent into Avernus as the Dockside replacement in Brudiclad. Ancient Copper Dragon is an option, but I wouldn’t get the treasures until much later in the game. …and I already have a Descent!

Will the price of Commander Masters booster boxes be going down soon? I love drafting it and I’m hopeful the banning will make the price plummet?

Grenzo goes down in Game 1 of the night. Hard to beat Sol’Kanar with a Grafted Exoskeleton!

If during a Rule 0 conversation someone asked if they could run either Jeweled Lotus or Mana Crypt in their deck instead of Sol Ring, would you agree to it?

So I see the bans and think all sorts of wild and crazy stuff, but rather than just post randomly, I think I'll go to the website and find out the reasoning behind the bans. Unfortunately the website is down.

Just great Magic games last night! Macar, Coram, and Buzzbark all did what they were supposed to and provided silly moments!

First day back at work. 478 emails in my Inbox this morning. After deleting the junk, I had 330 emails. Aiming to get through 110 each day and be caught up by the weekend.

Picked up an Italian Prerelease pack while in Lucca at Jolly Giochi. I may regret that many cards in a language I can’t read, but I hope it will work out.

Managed to burn 4700 calories today. Good riding!

The view from our suite in Radda is amazing. I am more than a little nervous about the biking! #TuscanBikeTrip #VBT

Business Class across the ocean! Room for long legs!

Flying!! Near First Class!

I love these duals! Specifically not for Commander!
