πŸ§™β€β™‚ Decided to do an Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Quick Draft afterward to prove to myself that I'm not completely clueless about limited (just ZNR sealed maybe) and successfully drafted a Dimir deck that picked up its first win pretty easily.

πŸ§™β€β™‚ My second Zendikar Rising sealed event was pretty feel bad with an 0-3 showing. I put a lot of research and thought into assembling the best possible combination (particularly after my opening loss), and the BW pairing I settled on just did not get it done.

⚽ πŸ“Ί Finished season two of Take Us Home: Leeds United and found it a really moving sequel. Pretty cool to see the storied, yet recently downtrodden football club bounce back from last year's heartbreak to finally earn a spot in the Premier League again after 16 years away!

Very pleasant run. Still hazy in the distance, but so nice to be able to get outside and breathe deeply again.

πŸ§™β€β™‚ Ended up going 2-3 in my first Zendikar Rising sealed draft event. Hoping to do better in my second one so taking my time making card choices this time and listening to some card evaluations first.

Air quality is pretty good right now. Time to get in my first run outside in over a week I think and see how I feel.

⚽ πŸ“Ί Oh, wow! I didn't realize there would be another season of Take Us Home: Leeds United after a very enjoyable first season. That makes me think that they've got to be doing a third season now that they're actually back in the Premier League.

πŸ§™β€β™‚ I don't know how viable all flavors will be, but given the Zendikar fueled abundance of rogues in Standard I'm fascinated by the idea of creating mono black, Golgari, Rakdos, Simic, and Gruul versions in addition to the Dimir versions I've played to date.

πŸ§™β€β™‚ Had relatively good luck being able to play Magic Arena around lunch and after dinner, but now both of my Mac and Windows machines are just hanging at the black screen when I launch the client. New set launches continue to be a serious pain point for the WotC developers.

πŸŽ™πŸ“ΊSong Exploder is a great podcast. The new Netflix documentary series based on it looks incredible!
