Dave. I play a lot of Magic. I used to play lots of DnD. Very bad at League of Legends. Geek, Scientist, Sports fan, Cynic. Brexit made me Swedish. He/Him.

And its nowhere near as odd as the year or so where Gregorian chant was fasionable.

I've seen Riverdance live twice. The first time I was VERY dubious but the music won me in seconds. Then you get the percussive shoe strikes. It's incredible. Saw them again when they came to Sweden. Of course, the "celtic" thing is my heritage (scots not irish but meh) so it hits something in me.

Gail is the trolliet troll on bluesky but she seems to, for once, be being absolutely sincere here so I'll believe this bit of joy really happened.

Not doing #tokentober but I see one of the things was a 2/2 Bear token. A good while ago now I turned an image I found in the bird site by @badlydrawnbears.bsky.social - the one they have as their profile pic - into a bunch of tokens for my Ayula deck. I love them.

About fifteen years later than I feel it should be. I just passed a milestone age and am not handling it well. I'm told Baldurs gate 3 is in the Steam sale and I've never played it...

I have a KID at university... I graduated before 99% of current undergrads were even born... is it any wonder i'm midlife crisising hard.

But he's right. Now, my hill to die on is that EVERYTHING Kubrick did is hugely overrated, and he was a terrible director.

Pretty sure they're conversions. Dragging it back from the depths of memory so might well be wrong.

Love the set, love the story. Just wish there had been more space to bulk out the teams in the set. I feel that really limited it in play. There wasn't room for the 10 archetypes. It desperately wanted to be a block, with a set for each stage of the race, but WotC don't do them any more.

Vaguely considering the Azorius Sphinx though...

Thadrin @thadrin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I've not had much "you should build around me", but the set has shocked me with how much "hey, I'd be great in (deck x)" there is. A couple of WIPs and a few of my older decks have feasted. Less so my mains, but I think most decks got a new toy except the one that got loads of new stuff from SoS.

I remain annoyed at that game. I built my LoL main and it turns out his Riftbound incarnation sucks. Its a good game. Really good in fact. Balance was, last I checked, a mess though

I watched a season of the Swedish version of this show and I don't get it. It's just a fancy version of "Werewolf" or "Mafia". The traitors don't do anything apart from the late night assasinations. There's no way to work out who they are. No evidence or deduction. No sabotaging tasks. It's daft.

I've had Glen Cook's "Black company" on my tbr pile for years. Today I finished listening to the audiobook. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Been my commute listening for a couple of weeks. On to book two of Croaker and the rest...

I had the vague idea of building the Azorius Sphinx. I should put that in the deck. If I ever get around to building it.

Xmen or GotG. Either way, idgaf. Only reason U own any marvel cards was boosters I was given at MC Amsterdam.

It's better than I expected from previews. Preferred SoS and Lorwyn. It gives big MotM vibes, not least as the "arc ender" set. It has issues though.

Nearly all of my decks are named after tracks by famed rock guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, so I have a playlist of those tracks with a few other bits and bobs. open.spotify.com/playlist/11U...

It's like that all the way down in science. Geography is biology, biology is chemistry, chemistry is physics, physics is maths, maths is some ungodly rebuilding of reality with numbers that may not even exist. (I did Biochemistry)

No Huntrix legendary creature means I'm out. That would have had me all over this. Not sure if a suitable character exists already tbf. A Trostani is the closest I think we have.

If these are the extent of the drop, RIP my interest in it. Would love a Huntrix. Those reprints are meh.

Hope not... not having character cards would be a massive disappointment. I'd love a Huntrix card.

My gaelic is very weak and rusty, based on doing the Duolingo course before it turned into AI Slop, and I have no idea what these are meant to be saying. Even phonetically they fail.

Community Help: If you see this very uniquely painted Belakor up for sale on any websites or similar - it is stolen. Porch Pirated in Brussels Belgium from a member of my Discord community. Long shot I know, but worth a shot to see if we can catch a thief. If spotted, DM me, or email me.

Dropped by my LGS to search the chaff boxes for a card I wanted. Struck out, but found a few useful bits. Did hear that all 4 prereleases for Reality Fracture sold out though. 32 seats at each, though likely a few duplicates. Madness. Complete contrast to TMNT, Marvel and Spiderman.

When my kid was small i read Terry Pratchett's "Where's my cow?" To him so often, with silly voices, i could - and one long dark car journey did - read it to him from memory.

I bought a bundle. Opened a few boosters friday including a collector (just got paid, wasn't prereleasing, so why not). Opened most of the bundle saturday - it was fine. Saved one booster for yesterday. That one had the Chandras.

I'd have to have some of my earliest console memories, like Combat (Atari 2600) and Duck Tales (NES) on mine. Two old arcade cabinet favorites "Road Blasters" and "Operation: Wolf". "Mario Kart" and "Skylanders" because those were ones I played with my kid...
