Was gonna do another EOE draft stream but then my 7yo had a tantrum when it was time to turn the Switch off and my fridge sprung a leak and the shutoff valve is the same as the dishwasher so now I need a plumber and I have a dentist appointment tomorrow and... no stream tonight, but now its setup

Got too excited from doing my first stream that I forgot to take a sceenshot of the draft deck. Anyways I went 1-3 with RW spaceships. Lot's of fun. I'll try streaming again later tonight once the kids are asleep. Thanks again to WotC for the free early access EOE event.

Good lord I'm going to stream an EOE draft. I've looked at virtually no previews. This should be fun! Thanks to Wizards of the Coast for the completely free invite to the EOE Early Access event!

How do I start streaming MTG Arena? Asking for a friend who got an invite to EOE Early Access for the first time ever and has no clue what they're doing because they have only ever published written content.

I wrote about this like a decade ago when I reviewed (almost) every Magic novel, but yes, Urza is a bad person, and the story reinforces terrible ideas. Every person involved was morally and ethically bankrupt except Hurkyl, Rebbec, and Kayla.

Until there's clear leadership from the Dem party, this will never happen. No one is able to unite the party and no one seems invested in trying.

I’ll be honest. I have a sick feeling in my stomach about this. About ICE’s new budget. About the citizenship database. I just have a really sick feeling. The only way we survive this is together. We need to work together. In ways we never have before. Collective action is the way.

Warren on CNBC on Mamdani: "You misunderstand what his campaign was about. His campaign was saying, 'I want to invest in NYC. I want to invest in people being able to have good jobs here, put their kids in school and build housing.' And he built a grassroots campaign. He didn't have a billionaire."

So, this is cool and all, but... what's happening between September (Atlanta) and May (Vegas)? Thats a bigger gap than we've been getting with Chicago in February the last two years.

Reality has a well-documented liberal bias, so we'll throw out the parts we don't like and make up the rest. At this point, I'm not sure any LLM can actually be trusted while the tech broligarchy decides the training sets.

In line to draft FFMTG for $100 to win collector boxes. Folks in front planning to sell the 3 prize boxes and split the cash. The secondary market has absolutely ruined this game in ways it will clearly never recover from. Chopping prizes in the finals isn't new. Chopping the entire draft? Wild.

Forget all the other perks and swag, this is clearly the highest EV on the Black Lotus VIP passes since they get their own side entrance to the convention site.

Steps 1-4 finished. Now, how to get to the convention center... 1. Walk (Free, Ethical, 35 Minutes, 106 degrees) 2. Lyft (Less Free, Less Ethical, 8 minutes, air conditioned)

RichStein13 @hipstersofthecoast.com · 19/06/2025

Alright, here's the plan. 1. Try to check in early at my hotel (about 1.5 miles south of the convention center) 2. Acquire sunscreen 3. Apply sunscreen 4. Eat food 5. Make my way (walk? In this heat?) To the convention center. 6. Pick up my press badge. 7. Play magic? Lobby con? TBD...

Today, I read a piece of comeback content that was essentially one content creator attacking another for their monetization strategy. This was thinly veiled as "satire." I'm so upset about it that I decided to return to social media after a 2 month break.
