πItβs crazy how many empty seats there are in Husky Stadium for the Apple Cup. Cougars lead 7-0 with 8 to go in the first.
π§ββ That said, I'm taking a more experimental approach to drafting this time around and focusing more on learning than winning.
π§ββ First couple Crimson Vow Quick Drafts have been as rough as anticipated, but at least I've picked up some good rares and mythics. As a mediocre limited player it's quite unfortunate when I have to start a tough format in Platinum.
π§ββ Came up with an Artisan version of Simic Delver that worked okay when I replaced Ascendant Spirit and Dragonsguard Elite with Avalanche Caller and Quandrix Pledgemage.
π§ββ Played a bunch of Standard Artisan games for Midweek Magic. Mono Red Burn and Gruul Werewolves so far, but plan to try all the major archetypes before it ends.
Snowy morning. Glad I'm working from home rather than driving on slick roads today!
β½ Much better half as Spurs lead 2-1 thanks to opportunistic Hojberg and Reguilon goals.
β½ Seeing some signs of life from Harry Kane today, but Lucas and Son have been poor so far (finally a good burst up the sideline from Son as I type this), but Leeds has looked better overall in the first 20 minutes.
π§ββ The newly announced Secret Lairs drop includes an amazing set of pixel art full-art snow-lands by a fantastic pixel artist (@8pxl_ on Instagram). Unfortunately the set doesn't include an Arena cosmetic-pack code which is a complete miss on WotC's part.
Updating and configuring a new 13" M1 MacBook Pro this morning (as you do). It's just a minimally specced testing machine, but still fun to play with.
