My LGS has a cEDH tournament this weekend where you’re allowed to have up to 10 proxies in your deck

On Arena I probably misread “you and 7 other players” as just “7 players” or something 🙃 But knowing they should be the same, I’ll commit the numbers to memory!

Gotcha. Weird to me that Arena is different - 7 players in Premier Draft, and packs are 15 cards

Nice! I still haven’t even figured out at what pick count a pack has wheeled :P I guess pick 8? Seems intense to remember an individual pack 8 packs later, but I guess you just know that all those cards wheeled so it gives an idea of what’s open.

I was imagining that the overlay would tell you what colors are open, and what a the best picks from each pack are, and maybe even what synergieses with your current picks

Yeah I’ve played a lot of constructed magic. Never have gone to a prerelease or draft event though so I had no experience with limited until recently. Makes sense to start with learning draft skills in general though, rather than only trying to learn a set!

I’m on Linux as well - would people consider tools like that cheating? Or more like “here’s some knowledge you might not know yet”

Yeah I do think it’ll be fun to start drafting a set from its release and keep up with the meta. I wish I had more time with Dragonstorm since I like the flavor a bit more (but I did just pick up Final Fantasy 10 to try since I’ve never played any so maybe I’ll fall in love).

thanks for the channel recommendations! Hadn’t found them and they seem pretty top tier. Even a lot of info about FF already.

Awesome - yeah I definitely see the advantage of being familiar with a set. Helps you draft something with a plan and know how to play against different decks. What I was missing was figuring out how to study a set. Basically I was just playing and watching streamers play. But it felt like I needed to watch hours of gameplay, or play a bunch of drafts, before feeling like I understood just the basics of the set.

Draftsim is so cool!! Thanks! I think it’ll be huge for me seeing cards in a set and having a little fun as opposed to just reading cards for study. Gonna have to use a lot of self control to not mess around on the site while I’m at work…

I’m still so excited to be getting into draft. It feels like a pretty rewarding format to spend time getting good at. Skill and knowledge mixed with gambling, fantasy, and an actually fun game? And I feel like I experience way more of a set’s flavor than I would just seeing the cards mixed into various decks.

Gonna be my first protest. Was gonna go for Canada but now it feels more like a protest for every country besides Russia and North Korea…

Yeah - I just wish our leaders (Democrat ones) would call for protests at least. It would help. Instead we twiddle our thumbs as our institutions are destroyed. I haven’t heard of a single protest for the tariffs today that nobody wants but Trump and Putin…

France is literally protesting better than the USA over our own issues…

Are we that degenerate already??

Bummer, but I do think her second ability might be a little strong and annoying if she also was making a ton of energy on her own. Thanks!

Thanks! I’ll look into a first/double strike sub-theme, and additional combat as well

Thanks!! Definitely will change how I build the deck

Since I’m dramatic I burned a bunch of things my ex gave me in my parents’ backyard. Years later I noticed my brother had a metal necklace with some discoloration. It was one I burned lol. I felt too weird to tell him.

Today I’m experimenting with Ansible. Wanna try setting up a Docker hosted RSS reader with it. Hopefully will write up controls for my whole Docker server with Ansible once I’m more familiar.

I’m thinking about the Christmas letter idea more: each person’s card could reflect a life event from the last year - for example, my dad sprained his knee so his card could be an aura debuf with knee-sprain flavor text or something. Then the letter could go into details on our last year in the sections that aren’t meant to be cut.

Pretty sure I’m 100% doing this next year. Wish I thought of it a month ago!
