The wind storm that they've been warning us about since last night seems to be starting. Not too bad yet, but gusty.

πŸ§™β€β™‚ Threw together a Boros Landfall deck to fulfill today's daily quest requirements and went 2-0 so far even though it feels pretty clunky.

The people that will buy that model love the size and probably most could care less about the networking capabilities. But everybody cares about battery life so hopefully Apple got it right.

the demo house set was really impressive. They had to have composited together the room sets in post production rather than actually building one giant unified house set right?

I like that feature as well; it'd be cool if our phones could serve as part of the intercom system too.

To a < 1GB per month cell data user like myself 5G is such an over-hyped feature.

Looks like they're positioning the HomePod Mini to be an every-major-room device. That makes me wonder if they're going to sell bundles… $99 price point makes me think that won't be necessary though. I think they've finally nailed the price point to sell a lot.

πŸ§™β€β™‚ MTGA hadn't updated with the announced bans yet when I checked so I went ahead and crafted the eight out of twelve banned cards that I didn't have yet. This is purely to take advantage of rare protection because banned cards still show up in packs otherwise.

πŸ§™β€β™‚ Omnath (expected), Escape to the Wilds, and Lucky Clover (widely hoped for) got the ban in Standard today. Looking forward to all the forthcoming MTG podcast takes on what kind of decks will rise up to fill the void now that Adventure decks have been nerfed as well.

πŸ§™β€β™‚ Zendikar Rising continues to be a challenging draft format for me. I'm averaging about two wins per draft, but I've gotten up to 4 wins twice. Making good progress on rare completing the set, but looking forward to switching to Theros Beyond Death for a couple weeks.
