Update: My other daughter is now sick, with mild symptoms of presumed Covid. I currently have no symptoms at all. Because of whats going on, I've decided I won't play in the
#ZNRChamps
. I'm going to take the L in the tournament so my family can do all it can to get a W with covid
Can’t thank the boys enough. Eyes are watering. Incredibly thoughtful gift for my 40th coming up from the team representing almost the last decade of work. All of these memories are meaningful but the friends I made so much more important. Love you guys.

my daughter walks over sits on my lap and excitedly proclaims, "That one's you daddy that one's you daddy!" while pointing at

. There's no escaping this.
Awaiting a test result for Covid for my family but myself and my daughter are symptomatic. I was told by an NP that regardless of result, I do have Covid. My daughter is currently being examined with suspected Covid induced kowasaki. 1/
My daughter just tested positive for covid. I’ve been isolating from them since Friday because my wife had a fever for about 36 hours. I’ve also had some extremely mild symptoms but don’t know if I have, had, or will get it as we don’t have a huge house. Scared.
My daughter building her first deck. Like any Magic dad would respond upon seeing this I laughed and told her “good luck casting any of your spells newb”.
Magic Players: “I play magic all day everyday, I fly all over the world, please give us some more prize money, please?”
Wotc: “Were having an additional 150k tournament!”
Also Wotc: “ Invites go to: Some of the top 10 ever and some people who don’t play Magic”
The saddest part of all of this, which I did not initially internalize is that I've made very close friends all across the world. People I consider family. I will likely not see many of them, ever again.
Just walked into the bathroom Anabella was giving her Barbie a bath in the sink. I told her no playing with water and she said “this my channel and I have my own scribers”
Couldn’t argue with that.
This was my last event as a member of CFB. Not sure what’s next for me but will be spending the remainder of the summer spending time with my family figuring it out. Looking forward to whatever’s next.
Visions, Planeshift, Urzas Legacy, Darksteel, Guildpact, Worldwake, Fate Reforged, Oath of the Gatewatch, Hour of Devastation.
Homie waiting cuz the list too long.
A lot of people have been complaining about the lack of block structure in Magic lately. To them I say: Name a beloved 2nd set in the entire history of Magic. I'll wait.
It’s not. As someone afraid to live in my own home because my wife is treating people getting sick of a disease that could kill her, me, or my children I cringe every time I see social gatherings, especially without masks. Please people, this is not over, in the United States 1/
@BasicMountain
No Ire directed at MaRo on this, but that tweet is the most upsetting part of all of this to me thus far. The fact Limited is so disposable to anyone that has any pull really doesn't sit well with me.
"it tells you something about Magic culture that tournament rules eventually included standards of personal hygiene, after players began to weaponize their body odor."
Michael Lewis really doing the Magic community a solid with this depiction.
Is MTG big enough yet we can just have an all Limited PT like structure separate from everything? Pretty tired of building up the gumption to play some shit I absolutely loathe to get to the good stuff.
Feel's nice to have Qualified for Worlds. I feel horrible for the people who tried harder than me throughout the year and came up just short. I did put a lot of effort into testing for this event so, again, it does feel great but impostor syndrome sets in immediately. ❤️
There’s a lot of talk about many players on the ballot but not enough talk about
@G3RRYT
IMO. His contributions to the game combined with impressive results make him more than worthy of my vote.

I just wanted to share my story because I think one problem perpetuating “we just have to live with this” is that no one hears anything but what they see on the news and not knowing people who have contracted the illness makes it less real.
I’m at a dockside restaraunt my wife picked out. She insisted I wear a Hawaiian shirt. Almost exactly the same shirt as the wait staff. They made me take a picture with them to laugh at me when I leave.
Here’s a sweet preview card that might have some Sea Legs in various Flash builds. Presenting Wavebreak Hippocamp! *Opts not included.

Thanks
@wizards_magic
for the free preview card!
Was going to stream some Modern Horizons today but unfortunately the girls school is cancelled so I’ll be having a different snow-covered experience today. Will be back after

Yes. I’m so happy some of the goats are getting paid, and I don’t mind using PT invites as promotional tools. Using their very limited prize budget to pay hearthstone steamers instead of the people who eat sleep and bleed this game disappoints me way too much to explain.
I'd be really upset at Wotc for not giving this card to both
@fffreakmtg
and I to preview at the same time if I wasn't already upset about LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.
Thanks to WotC for an opportunity to start M21 preview season. I have a sweet rare for you today!
What do you think is the best use for it?

Not going to be streaming for the foreseeable future given the circumstances. My kids are obv home from school, and my wife working the frontlines has me very scared and stressed. Inevitably we are pretty high risk of getting sick. Sorry to do this again but tough times etc.
Well,
@SamuelHBlack
started a new limited podcast,
@PVDDR
is a big time world champion who’s super busy, and my kids just got back to school today for some peace and quiet here. It’s a bit complicated.
While I wait for
@BenS_MTG
to technology for our match I can't help but share the most adorable picture of my girls before there first day of school today. (Ben's deck is really cool check it out)
Just wanted to give a thanks for all the support from the MTG community during my time of uncertainty last week. Was a lot going on and while I was nervous (and as it turns out incredibly lucky) ya'll made me feel a lot better. Not blowing smoke, it legit helped me. Thank you.
Back in my day, they didn’t slow roll ban announcements for a few days, they told you there was no bans then banned something the next day to keep you on your toes.
@Sparky__MTG
If you mean in terms of how I handle myself at the table, one super important tip is that losing is GREAT! It can sting, but it's also an opportunity to grow.
AND whenever you lose, someone else wins. And they're probably happy. Nothing was taken from the world when you lose.
Let me describe the perfect MTG tournament:
Day 1: Sealed where you can rebuy if you're deck sucks.
Day 2: Start records over, draft until you have a champion.
So close
@MTG_Arena
Rough way to go out. Left wondering if I didn't crash to Fable animation if I'd have had enough time to win. Should have picked up the pace but long grindy games are complicated and I'm old. Thanks everyone for rooting for me everyone.

Today I’ll be fighting to earn a spot in the MPL for next season. Regardless of the result, I’m proud of the work I’ve done and how Ive rallied back this past few months to put myself in this position.

Want a
#MTGStrixhaven
preview? I'll have to say I was a bit underwhelmed when I first read the card until I learned how this mechanic worked. This is a solid value catch-all so I won't be surprised to see it in the curriculum. Thanks
@wizards_magic
for the preview!
Thanks to
@wizards_magic
for their generosity giving me this free preview card. Lot's of sweet things to do with this with Life from the Loam and Seismic Assault.

Archangel of Wrath is my favorite card design in literally years. If Wotc wants to make a fun Standard format, design a format where this card can be a staple/good.
My wife and I have had this difficult talk and still haven’t reached a final decision. It would be mentally difficult on both of us, but I can isolate with the girls effectively and she needs to be at work helping those that need it.
My spouse is a physician in the emergency dept, and is actively treating

patients. We just made the difficult decision for him to isolate & move into our garage apartment for the foreseeable future as he continues to treat patients. (1/5)
2-4 and out of

and the MPL.
Proud of myself for getting into position to win a slot into the MPL after a very busy year for me and
@HeatherSigrist
. I won’t feel sorry for myself, and I’m extremely happy for those who find their way back. ❤️
Covid tests came back from Monday from my wife and I. As expected my wife tested positive, I however tested negative and still remain in isolation. I had some pretty bad aches/fatigue yesterday when I woke up so I had assumed that was the virus so I'll be tested again tmrw.
Thank you
@TwitchEsports
for hosting such an amazing tourament. Thanks everyone for the support and congrats it means a lot. Here's my favorite clip from the day. Putting my favorite clip from the event below.
I played so much to test for Dallas and ultimately decided to play something I'll enjoy rather than something that gives me 1-2% more equity. I have absolutely rinsed MTGO Leagues with my deck but not sure it will hold up to the RC environment. Wish me luck!
Arguments against student loan relief remind of a story where, when asked to pay a baggage fee,
@OndrejStrasky
told an airline employee
@JacobWilson95
didn’t so he shouldn’t have to. Then they both had to.
