Summer Derby 2020 – Wet Dreams
Spoiler alert, my overall record was 5-3 and I had a ton of fun. Out of 8 opponents I had, to my recollection, only played 1 before which was both gassy and improbable. I sleeved up a fun little tier 2.66666 (repeating of course) brew, which I think is my sweet spot when it comesContinue reading “Summer Derby 2020 – Wet Dreams”
Sig #3 – Serendipity
Jamie Parke described our beautiful evening together as serendipitous. Through the glory of social media my wife knew that Jamie and his wife were in the Syracuse area and happened to dine at the exact restaurant we had reservations for this evening just the night before. In fact Jamie’s parents live around the corner fromContinue reading “Sig #3 – Serendipity”
More Scryings
I love Scryings and evidently Scryings loves me! With the exception of busting out in the NEOS monthly Scryings event back in March I’m on a serious heater! My most recent run was to a 2nd place finish in an online event hosted by Christian Reinhard over roughly the last 6 weeks. 40 players facedContinue reading “More Scryings”
Signature #2
Adam Lemke is quite handy and frankly no one knows how he got that way, but if you need advice on building a deck (like made of wood behind your house) or opening a swimming pool or just about any other question you think he’d have no business knowing anything about then Lemke’s your guy.Continue reading “Signature #2”
Commencement
I’m pretty sure I never thought about using the word ‘commencement’ in an English sentence even when I was graduating high school and college, so it never occurred to me that the word actually had a meaning other than signifying a graduation celebration. Strange that about a week ago as I was daydreaming about thisContinue reading “Commencement”
Premodern Spring Fling 2020
A very good man by the name of Michael James Heup (MJH) was the TO and content creator for the recently completed Premodern Spring Fling. Over the course of about 1.5 months MJH corralled around 64 mages, first organizing batches by time zone for convenience of scheduling, then by record after the first 4 roundsContinue reading “Premodern Spring Fling 2020”
Mail Day Part II
N.b. This will be the first post you can file under general shenanigans, although it is tangentially relevant to winning n00bcoM. Everyone needs a friend like Ben Farkas. When I married my wife and everyone was showering us with generous gifts of straight cash homie, Farkas gave me (and my wife I guess) my firstContinue reading “Mail Day Part II”
Mail Day (Sort of)
I’m pretty deep into Magic. I’ll go to bed thinking about what I’m going to brew up for whatever monthly webcam games I’ll be playing (a bad habit I know I’m not the only one guilty of). I’ll collect almost anything: cards, art, uncut Arena 1996 Promo Sheets, sealed boxes hoping to some day draftContinue reading “Mail Day (Sort of)”
Quest for the Shark
The weekend before the inaugural n00bcoM Team Sped members Mano, Jamie Parke, Adam Lemke and yours truly hopped into whereby.com/misetings for a few minutes to break the format. I can’t remember if Farkas was on, but if he was it was just to crack jokes about Mano’s sideboard. MG had recently announced that not onlyContinue reading “Quest for the Shark”
