The Pokemon scalpers have finally impacted me personally. The die-cut Snorlax playmat from the Pokemon Center is sold out. Originally $30 eBay runs $66-$100. ;.;

100% best comment, 10/10 on the live Q&A about the bans.

Pouring one out for my homies. Only the finest bottom shelf for rat dad and his pet rock.

I doubt anyone missed it, but... Lorcana got its first actual bans today. Hiram Flavisham - Toymaker and Fortisphere are no longer legal for organized constructed play. RIP 🔵⚪ items. I will miss you. www.disneylorcana.com/en-US/news_/...

Also, if you are ever in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin for some reason, Riviera Maya is kickass Mexican food. Highly recommend.

Ended up dropping after round 5 after getting bodied three times by Ruby/Sapphire. Serves me right for making my strategy "dodge r/b into top 16 and pray." Blue/Steel diggy hole did great in the other matches though! Blue/Steel aggro and Blue/Steel items. Tomorrow is another day!

Off to Wisconsin for some Lorcana fun! Just need to decide wtf I am playing. -.-

I was so psyched when I found out that my LGS is doing their Archazia's Island set championship on May 3. They're also a comic shop, so the Free Comicbook Day cross traffic might help us get some new players. My judge bestie's shop is also doing theirs on May 3, so he can't come to ours. ;.;

Had the privilege of judging two of the Lorcana Cross-Continental Challenge matches last night. Totally unique experience judging a webcam tournament. Definitely learned some things. Thanks to Pavel, Phil, and the players for having me! Looking forward to hopefully working on more. :)

Me in my office during my lunch break - aka naptime

Never enough Hei Heis

Just got word that the case tournament I was set to judge later this month is being postponed because the TO can't get their hands on more Archazia's Island. I had no idea there was a supply issue with this set. Are we really just ripping that many packs chasing crabs and ducks?

People rediscovering 🔵⚪ items is kinda funny. Like yeah, fam, we were doing 20 lore haymakers in Ursula's Return and Shimmering Skies, too. It was just too slow to keep up with the meta in Azurite.

Opened the case of Archazia's Island that we preordered. Pulled an enchanted Return of Hercules. Only saw one of the four Tomatoas that I need. ;.;

Good luck this weekend in draft and sealed, all. My strategy is simple for Archazia's Island: is it a kitty? DRAFT IT. If not, is it a puppy? DRAFT IT. If neither, pick whatever is inkable, quests for two more, or has evasive. This is in addition to my standing Do Not Pass Heihei rule.

Happy Pomkémon Day!

Okay, Rav. I love the Reign of Jafar stuff you showed off today, but we don't even have Archazia's in our hands yet. Just because WotC announces a new product every time a bell rings doesn't mean it is something to strive for.

Some incredible judges that I respect deeply pooled their expertise and put together this proposal for an official judge certification program. lorcanajudges.com/judge-progra... Please give it a read, share it, and show Ravensburger that players at every level DEMAND this much overdue program.

Rewatching Atlantis. Where is my Cookie card? Beans, bacon, whiskey, and lard!!

Holy moly, MetaZoo is coming back? icv2.com/articles/new...

Hate Pack Rush, but playing it as a group format was actually pretty fun.

BlueSky is a crazy place. In this most recent session of doomscrolling, I have seen at least a dozen "puppy" posts. Some are Lorcana. Most are NSFW posts. Only one was about an actual puppy. (I think. May have been a stealth NSFW post.) The algorithm here is THIRSTY.

Some spice for my fellow red/steel challenges matter enjoyers. No idea how we are getting the ink to actually play some of these cards yet, but maybe the spoilers hold some more goodies for us.

New nonbinary style goals dropped

Seeing a lot of people unhappy with the Archazia's Island spoilers because the dual ink cards can only be in a deck that matches both colors. I love it, personally. Allows Rav to support archetypes that need love to break out, like Red/Steel combat or Blue/Yellow healing, without BREAKING the game

Looking forward to a lot of really bad performances in draft with the Archazia's release. I am obligated as a crazy cat person to draft Every Aristocat. Also, Toulouse is my son and I will fight you if you are mean to him.

I am going to do unspeakable things with this card. <3 Also, this is why it is important to only exert/ready your ink when the game calls for it.

Playing the husband in the finals was a great way to close out a really rocky set championship season.

Last set championship of the season, playing at Nicodemus Cards & Gaming in Warsaw. Currently 2-0 on Steelsong. Two rounds to go. The spousal unit is also 2-0, so HOPING to dodge him next round.

Trying to think of a fun name for a Lorcana "team." I use the term loosely, because it's really just that we were goofing off at League one night and decided we want to make t-shirts. So far all of our ideas have been... Um... Not precisely within the bounds of Lorcana's community standards. Lol

The spousal unit and I are only planning on going to one more set championship. Do I stick with Steelsong and try for a champion mat? Or see how far I can take my silly little 🔴⚪ pirate list?

Finally stepped back behind the DM screen tonight. It's been a good year since I ran a game and omg did my players deliver tonight. I challenged them with a low-tech, low-magic setting full of high fantasy xenophobia and superstition and they are really rising to the occasion.

Finally got my Scar mat!! Came in second today at Crafty Coins in Fort Wayne. ^_^ Final record was 5-3. Lost to The mirror and ⚪🔵 in Swiss. Came back to 2-0 the same mirror in top 8 and then pull out a 2-1 against 🔴🟣. What a day. I am BUSHED.

Judged a small set championship today, and got to meet some newer players from the region. Love that Lorcana is still gaining people as friends bring in friends. Finals came down to a classic Steelsong v. Ruby/Amethyst match. Both players did well, but the draw gods favored R/A today.

Tonight's deck list. dreamborn.ink/decks/LUgiZs... We'll see if I go crawling back to DDH for Sunday or not. Lol
