πβ½ Discovered the Stadio podcast yesterday thanks to Grant Wahl's podcast and now there's actually one Spotify exclusive podcast that I want to add to my rotation. Musa Okwonga blows me away- such a smart, knowledgable, multi-talented, and charismatic guy!
@matigo Seems fine so far, although I had to delete some large apps that I never use (Keynote/Pages/Numbers) to free up enough space beforehand.
Realized I'd never gotten around to updating my iPhone to iOS 14 so plunging ahead with the 14.1 update.
π§ββ Got to Silver on the constructed ladder with my Rogues-Slitherwisp deck, but it was a slog. So many mirrors and so much removal in the meta. Getting to gold by the end of the month is probably going to be more challenging than I expected.
The rest of the family is away for appointments and a visit to the grandparents; unfortunately our cat doesn't seem happy to have the upstairs to himself. So much plaintive meowing.π
π§ββ Inspired by yesterday's matchup threw together an Azorius Party deck and played a couple games on my lunch break. It's no top tier deck, but it's still pretty fun and Trapfinder is a serious advantage engine once you get a party going.
π§ββ I thought I still owned all three books of the original Dragonlance Chronicles trilogy (which I read sometime around 6th or 7th grade), but now I'm not sure that I ever did. I probably checked out the first two at the library and bought the third (which I still have).
π§ββ Made some more progress on my ladder climb yesterday and ended at Bronze Tier 1. Played my Mono Black Auras deck again to moderate success, but lost in a 27 minute grinder match against a nice UW Party deck- probably should have scooped after about 10 minutes.
π§ββ Finally built a Zendikar Rising updated Rogues deck based on the Slitherwisp build that CGB streamed a couple days ago. Only spent one rare wildcard to complete the Dimir flipland playset and holding off on several additional Rare/Mythic lands for now.
π§ββ WotC/Hasbro executives make some puzzling decisions. Stiffing the original best-selling Dragonlance authors (Hickman & Weis) after they spent a couple years developing a new trilogy for the popular D&D setting without properly terminating the contract seems laughable.
