Tea is soup, shut up
I'm glad it's not a hot dog, but tea is *not* a food and that's a hill I'm willing to die on.

4-1 drop! Opponent card quality just starts getting too good when you're doing deep runs in the Play Booster era. Ryan milled more rares than I play in my deck lmao. Time to go roller skating and see Bugonia, enjoy your Sunday kids

Another banger of a match. Opponent SB'd into Sultai for G2 & 3 and figured that blue was high impact. Just survived a Rupture with enough in the tank. 4-0

Format knowledge helped and played around the sweeper G1, overcommited G2, and survived three Dubious Delicacies G3. 3-0

Also, Copy to clipboard + Google Sheets can help you see trends as data shifts over time. I'll look at different weeks to see user behavior patterns (changes in pick orders become super apparent). The more you refine what you're asking from the data, the more helpful it is.

Oh, Foundations draft is back on Arena? Show me Izzet commons and uncommons that top players value the most.

The problem is people only look at the raw data (all cards, sort by GIH WR). When a company wants to know how to improve, they don't pull up their balance sheet and go, "Okay, got it." Treat 17Lands like running a series of reports. "Show me the last seven days of Boros by WR."
A question I wanna ask 17lands users: What are you doing differently than everyone else reading 17Lands data? You’re not on 17Lands just to have a 55% win rate, are you?

After doing ~25 EOE Arena Directs, I thought I'd throw a little money at the NRG event today on modo. I would describe this pool as in the bottom 10% lmao. Woof.

Called shot at someone who spent a decade writing about drugs professionally: This guy is going to have a TERRIBLE time on mushrooms.
I understand mindset matters when taking 5 grams of magic mushrooms, what intention do you suggest for me?

If UB helps with acquisition and Magic is sticky, let's focus PT resources on building better local ecosystems. They're languishing right now. Buying cards and not being able to drive 20 minutes to use them is a problem that digital only does so much to bridge. 2/2

Interesting preview by Ryan. IMO, we need to stop looking at EDH as a feeder system for OP and recognize the parallel but incommensurate value Magic can provide. The PT *was* important, but it could be replaced by RC ➡️ Worlds with marginal impact and still provide a goal. 1/2
This one's pretty important to me, and I think it will be for y'all too. Planning to promote it more when it becomes free in 2 weeks, but it's here for Patreon folks now! https://t.co/03nB9RKFv1

Crunched the numbers on the 17Lands Powered Cube leaderboard. Of the top 20 games won, only Dafore is projected to have won gems. Absolutely brutal event structure, but hey, what about people who aren't winning by volume, but by percentage? How many of those exist? Let's look...

(also none of this gives value to the packs because the Cube packs are essentially trash and it's hard to assign value to a random pack broadly)
