Top 8'd the @excaliburevents.bsky.social vintage "5k" today with Jeskai Bilbo. Had some good success in my practice leagues as well. Deck felt great.

I just tried doing a clean re- install of @magiconline.bsky.social and still can't get on. Just getting this message. Is anybody else getting this or know what to do?

Michael Mapson @expeditionmap.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Yup. Confirmed it was good. Waking up tomorrow is going to suck though

I've heard j cole puts on a good show. Time to find out. First concert sitting in a suite... I could live like this

Halfway through the week. My body is not used to this anymore but we're getting back in routine

Usually I skip days I don't sleep well but got to restart the habit

Not my personal cup of tea but my wife's most listened to artist of last year (Alex Warren) is in town so I had to get us tickets. I will say even though his music isn't for me, id love to see this dude in a musical. I think he'd be fantastic

Second post msh league was a disappointing 2-3 with phoenix/fantasticar hybrid. The deck oscillated between wildly broken and unplayable. I was very unsure on how aggressive to mulligan because you want the broken hands but you need the cards. Excited to try more stuff this weekend

Michael Mapson @expeditionmap.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

First post msh league was a fun one with the less broken Fantastic Four card: council of reeds. Didn't get to live the double emry dream, but the card was a pretty cool and quick clock. Bread and butter 3-2 but sharing because I think it was cool and improvable. list in alt

Had so much fun making the first video, we ran it back with a harder list cheated by our editor who's also a fan. Think it's a fun video whether you're a marvel fan or not. youtu.be/PHndkn0yYJQ

Today is the anniversary of one of my fav mtg memories. Its sunday morning and I play (and win) the very delayed finals of an scg con 5k that we started on Friday. I then pass off my deck to my friend Rodney who wins the sunday 5k. Good weekend.

Undefeated in Swiss of my rcq. Let's see if I fall apart in draft like usual

Til that Marvel has made a comic in which Trump joined AIM and becomes a MODOK variant and this is so funny to me. The funny (tragic and depressing) thing is they didn't even need to come up with a villanous plot. He just does the same stuff he does irl.

Michael Mapson @expeditionmap.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Update: store had never run an rcq so I had to help a lot at the start. Thankfully they called a friend to come judge (which still meant I had to help, but much less). Opened a sick gw deck. Drafted a less sick gw deck and died in top 4. First deck pictured below

Michael Mapson @expeditionmap.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

I saw three of these artists in concert this year so this list makes sense. Also every year when they list how many genres I listened to, I wonder, how is that even possible?!

Michael Mapson @expeditionmap.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

If you're in the Philly area come check out this event. Sarge's events are always a good time and this will be no exception.

This has been my marit lage token for the past 6 years. I guess I'm obligated to get the new dark depths?

Broke: using your last week available RC prep time to play matches and hammer out sideboard plans Woke: waking up at 2am every day to take care of your sick dog. Not being functional enough to play games. Spending a lot of money at the vet. (Don't worry, he is probably going to be ok)

Visiting my parents for the weekend and they had planned a night with some live music. Guess I know where I get it from. Was pretty surprised they wanted to go to a folk festival but we saw a funk band so it all makes sense now

Concert 3 for the week. Men I Trust. Was enjoyable

Michael Mapson @expeditionmap.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Concert 1 of 3 for the week Just got home from Duckwrth's All American Freak Show concert. Was a great performance. If you like hip hop, you should definitely check out All American F*ckboy.

Won a 1 slot limited rcq today. Only 8 people showed so straight to draft. I don't play much limited but think my deck was pretty good

Saw Tyler the Creator in concert tonight. It was very good

@quivertime.com really went above and beyond. I was sad my quiver got damaged (not their fault) and they sent me a whole care package. Excited to rock the nexus boxes and keep spreading the good word about this brand.

Cube drafted with some friends. My deck was sick but unfortunately lost to the host on ub tempo playing for the 3-0.

Michael Mapson @expeditionmap.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

Kendrick & Sza Didn't take many pictures but show was obviously a delight. My wife doesn't even like rap and had a good time.

Very excited to go see two of my favorite artists tonight.

Facebook memories just reminded me of this fun weekend three years ago when I won the Friday SCG Pittsburgh Legacy 5k, playing the finals Sunday morning, and then immediately passed off my deck to Rodney who then won the Sunday 5k. Deck good.

Been in my house for a few years. Finally got my basement finished and really excited to see my space coming together. For anyone curious, the paper is my "trophy" from the "secret gp".

It took a momth but my wife and I finally finished our anniversary lego set. Every building pulls away to show hidden details. This thing is so cool.

After having to miss them the last few times they were in Philly, I finally got to see Tank and the Bangas in concert. What an absolutely incredible show and display of black excellence and joy. Great first (non classical) concert for the year.
