Probably the most fun I’ve had in this iteration of the #mtg Arena cube. Just your typical Thassa’s Oracle/Ouroboroid deck.

All my photos are terrible, and I wasn’t struck with any deep thoughts about life, the universe and everything, but that was certainly the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen.

This was hilarious. I realise there are bombs in there but I assure you all the wins were down to Ant-Man, Heroic Feast and HYDRA Infiltration. First time I’ve seen Tigra or Kingpin’s Enforcers be good. #mtg

Usual objections to fandom slop, but the Marvel set seems fun. Very long, slow games, means you get to do fun things in pretty much any colour combination. Beat two teamworked Atlantis Attacks in one game with a Vision Quest for M.O.D.O.K.

You should put more context in the ticker, guys.
A BBC ticker with the headline "Soon: Moon mission splashdown", with the headline "Foreign Secretary: Thoughts are with those affected by 'tragic' crash" below.

Our protagonist, being a large child, has once again procured a Where’s Wally advent calendar this Christmas. While the daily chocolate is appreciated, it’s the opportunity to flex his mental and visual acuity in his dotage that truly drives him. Each door contains a challenge, a figure to find in the crowded scene. And each year, for some reason, they print some of them directly next to the newly opened door, destroying any sense of achievement in his increasingly meaningless existence.

Every time I walk past this headstone in the graveyard I think to myself “yeah… we know”
A grave containing one or more Skellingtons.

I call this First-Picked-a-Lotus-but-Had-to-Keep-Answering-the-Door-to-Trick-or-Treaters-Storm". Other than mising with Minsc & Boo, my theory was I could Underworld Breach and use Wheel of Fortune and Endurance to deck them out. But the trick or treaters kept coming and Arena clock is unforgiving.

Had to use Tishana's Tidebinder twice in the same turn to counter my awful plays. Drew my whole deck with Displacer Kitten and Coveted Jewel. Cast Upheaval & for some reason blinked Jewel so had to counter its ability to not draw from an empty deck, then afterwards misclicked Mightstone & Weakstone.

The apotheosis of UW control in cube is winning every game with 5 cards in your library, 7 cards in your hand, and zero creatures on your opponent's side. (Lutri in the side, naturally)

I can excuse war criminals backed by tech billionaires being granted unchecked power, but I draw the line at calling the Gaza International Transitional Authority "Gita", because it has somehow reminded me of this hauntingly bad line reading from An Evening With Gary Lineker (1994):

Can’t work out if the person scattering frozen chicken thighs across the graveyard was committing some sort of atrocity or just having a very bad day.

Just went 0-3 with a deck containing these cards and now having a not particularly minor emotional crisis.
Our protagonist drafted a deck containing Singularity Rupture, Mutinous Massacre and The Endstone. Arguably all he had to do was live to cast them, but this simple task was beyond him.

One of my favourite places to be, watching Cliffords. Singer has mad pipes (as the kids say). First time I’ve gone out of my way to see a band with a trumpet at a festival since Animals That Swim in 1996. Also I saw a tiny mouse!
Our protagonist has cleverly situated his camping chair in the beautiful pine and birch forest of the Sunrise Arena at Latitude Festival, such that he can just about see the singer’s head and nothing else.

There are #mtg formats where you absolutely should not put two 6-drops into your deck. Then, there are formats where adding an additional two 7-drops would be ill-advised. And then there are formats where you trophy with all that, plus two 8-drops.

Bought this for dust but it produces proper hurricane-force ice cold winds on a day like today.
The incredibly high-tech powerful fan that our protagonist purchased because he buys electronic goods to fill the deep yawning voids in his life.

Furious at how much fun this set continues to be. Every deck appears to work, they've clearly put a lot of effort into making cards that are role-players in anything from 2-4 archetypes, and both the fast and slow games are fun and varied. Plus it's all chocobo fans drafting so they pass EVERYTHING.

Fun once again overpowering hate, to my continued annoyance.
Our protagonist's BGu deck has a board of nine creatures, most notable being Neo Exdeath, Dimension's End which hit for 26 damage last turn due to Summon: Titan's third chapter, and Vana'Diel Adventurers, which would win the game on our draw step due to our empty library, had our opponent with a fairly good UW artifacts deck not conceded.
