Fun fact - thanks to the Final Fantasy additions you can now Bird the Bolt

Going live with the Draft Skeleton stream for Final Fantasy with the Skeleton crew - this time we have @sampratt.bsky.social, Tresio and Springbok7 join us live at (link below)

New set, new removal stats. And we are in for a relatively standard distribution of toughness stats, with some minor quirks this time. As it is typical, roughly 50% of common creatures in the set die to Shock - but this time 28% are X/1s which is on the high side. 1/10

🏆 What a better send-off to Tarkir Dragonstorm than: - Draft Boros for the first time - Find it absolutely open (also for the first time) - 7-0 with it with basically no contest; one opponent wrathing me was a minor setback but 2 turns later I was attacking with 5 creatures

New Magic Numbers are out on YT. This week I am looking at card evaluation and as far as data won't evaluate the cards for you - there are some insights that can give you vital pointers - e.g. high rarity non-creature spells are likely duds. (link 👇) 1/4

🏆 Clean 7-0. Friendly reminder that chonkers are good in chaos draft. Also - Sudden Spinnerets is a 1 mana doomblade, people seem to forget that simple fact of life (which is the reason it is a one mana doomblade).

This card seems to me wild in Limited

I am preparing a presentation on presentation making that will progressively become better as I introduce new slides and ideas and so far I am loving the process. Here is a taster of the opening slide:

Recording the Magic Numbers now and this weeks topic - card evaluation. Might come in handy soon. What can data tell us about card evaluation skills? Join me at (link below)

Alright - what's the line here? Context - I know I'm dead next turn if Elspeth lives. There is also Champion of Dusan in my GY. No more Forecaster Targets in the library. I lost this game but I'm pretty sure I could have won it.
