I'm back to podcasting full-time with
@_DaveShiels
again! Huge thanks to Matt Costa for stepping in while Dave was on paternity leave.
Fun fact: Did y'all know that basically no deck in Modern can beat a Seismic Assault? We love it, and I built hella decks this week

In the off chance both the WotC announcement is good and SCG wants to hire people back, I highly recommend not going back without requesting a raise from your previous rate.
For the record, I was getting $1000 per article and writing weekly.

There was a Magic player I really liked. He got caught doing some bad stuff and made a really bad excuse for it.
It’s okay to change who you like and is actually encouraged.

Y’all ever look down and wonder why it feels like you don’t have many resources, then realize you missed a Mishra’s Bauble trigger? Then your friend reminds you that you actually missed two of them.
Anyway, I won a PTQ today

If WotC can pay bands or w/e, they can pay you.
Don’t settle for unpaid work. You deserve better.
Wizards of the Coast should pay the creators they ask to advertise their products during preview season.
The idea that being given a card/s to preview is a privilege and payment in of itself is exploitative and backwards.

Spent a couple of days post breakup mourning the relationship as a whole. Even though I hadn’t cried yet, the loss was heavy. I thought I was doing an okay job working through it.
Then went to snap a cat pic for the first time in two days and immediately burst into tears.

Hey independent competitive MTG content creators:
Y'all should get together and make your own website to host everyone's content and link to your individual Patreons. Give readers a place to go each day instead of having to follow each person individually.

Honestly, if Bomat Courier isn’t one of your all-time favorite Magic cards, I question whether or not you ever actually enjoyed (competitive) Magic

Wafo-Tapa went 10-0 in Sunday's Modern Challenge (with control obv). Most commonly asked question was "Why Opt over Consider?"
So I wrote 1000 words about why (link below).

This can be a rough time of year for folks and I’ve had this conversation a few times recently, so now I’m posting.
Despite suffering from depression my entire life, I didn’t seek help for it until 2016. A couple years later, I was diagnosed with ADHD.

Felidar Guardian was a mistake, but if something does get banned, can it be Saheeli this time? Some people would use blink cat and Saheeli is no longer an in print mythic.

Tonberry-ed all my opponents in a local tournament today. 6-0-2 and split Top 4 with Izzet Phoenix thanks to a bunch of MH1 cards. Deck was great!
Also picked up a dope Nanachi plush from the con it was attached to. 😍😍😍

Pretty sure if I were still in the MPL and they scheduled league play on top of a major surgery I already booked, I could talk about how unfair it is and be lauded a hero. If they said I couldn’t make it up, folks would rally behind me until they did.
I know it’s real dumbass hours here, but I think everyone should know the difference between casually relaxing with friends and playing against the greatest players in the world for your job while on heavy duty painkillers 🤔

No one suggested this but what if i told dev stories from working on Khans of Tarkir?
Last article for scg is this week. People seemed to think i was going to write something special, but i wasn’t planning on it.
I’ll entertain the idea though. What would you absolutely read from me?
(Note that i’m not going to use your suggestion unless it’s very, very good)

I couldn't really play Arena this past week because I was sitting on high mythic for the T1000 invite. Could play two MCQs this weekend but can't because I'm already qualified for Barcelona via team series.
Why does the system prevent me from playing Magic?

Easiest thing WotC could do that would be a net positive for the community and Magic as a whole:
MUTE THE TWITCH CHAT
While there are some benefits, the downsides are horrific and the risk/reward is not there. (1/3)

Know what’s dope?
Having (almost) universally positive interactions with other humans.
Step 1. Engage in a positive, good faith manner
Step 2. Listen to others
Step 3. Everyone profits

Ignoring what looks like a post with no other intention than to out my shadowban in 2010, this is all true.
Finishing work, so I don't really have time to answer Qs, but felt like I should confirm the authenticity before it gets out of hand.
Ask away, I've always been honest.
