A halloween cartoon for this week's @newscientist.com

It is halloween. Two children dressed as ghosts in white sheets walk along the pavement, behind them are some large houses. One carries a carved pumpkin and they both carry a piece of paper with text on it. One child/ghost says
"A lot of scientists live around here, so if they're too rational to be frightened by our ghost costumes, we'll show them these articles about research funding cuts.

Round 7: win 2-1 vs. Eldrazi ramp. Fun match, especially game 3 was a weird one. We both had like 3-4 turns of "Draw, Landdrop, go" as if we were Control decks. Record 4-3, one round to go. #mtg #magicthegathering #tournamentreport #tournament

We are 129 players, so we are playing 8 rounds of modern with cut for top 8, but only the quaterfinals will be played. (Since all of top 4 are getting an invite to the regional championship)

Ok, that was fast. Won round 1 2-0 vs UR Wizard. I was on the play and had a turn 2 Kappa Canonner, and my opponent conceded on the spot 😅. I only saw a "Thundering Falls" on his side, so he conceded toblimit my knowlege. I guessed, he was playing UR Prowess, so sideboarded against that. Game 2 […]

So since we needed a team name and we decided to choos one today "on demand", we are now "The Ondemands". Sounds like a late 90s early 2000s britpop band 😅

Last Round: win 2-0 against UB Ninjas (off meta deck) replaced the Psychic Frogs of "UB Frog" with more Ninjas 😅 Nice guy, but 1) I think the change made the deck much worse and 2) I have a good matchup even against the Frog deck. Overall Record: 5-1, lets see, where it places me on the […]
