I don’t understand the CardMarket shopping wizard. I made a list and if I select ‘prioritise price’ all my items are 5 shipments for ~€30. If I select ‘prioritise fewer shipments’ it’s still 5 shipments for ~€51. Now I don’t have confidence in the shopping wizard full stop 😔 Who can teach me?

Today I took Arcane Signet out of a deck I’m building to add a Relic of Legends. The deck has 30ish legends in it, and I figure the signet will always be boring, while the relic will sometimes go to the moooon!

Had a lovely time playing some Sealed Commander at @axionnow.com event in Dark Sphere London! Good games, good opponents, friends old and new. Even picked up a card or two for my new deck. What a treat!

Updating my Yuriko cEDH deck at present. My build is a little bit staxier than most, which I like, and I reserve some flex spots for weird off meta speed bumps to help steal games, as sometimes Yuriko can feel a little stock to play around. Any oddball inclusions that have worked for you?

So Temmet is esper Zombies, which makes a lot of tokens and has a lot of lords… and is blue white so I can cast Mirrorweave? Alright, goddamnit, I’m in.

Watching The Devil’s Plan I kind of wish I could read Korean. There’s loads of cool stuff going on, and while the dub/sub is good, playing along is harder without being able to read everything.

All I’m really learning is that in Chicago I’d more or less be doing the things Klug is doing, but without any of the displays of artistic talent.

@performingnerd.bsky.social is the act I have written the most with over the years, and while we both started out in love with making cool magic shows, I’m so proud of what his act is now, where things are more magical than pure magic. And he just fooled Penn & Teller! youtu.be/8UqBYMGxvaQ?...

This weekend I’m aiming to step away from my phone a bit so that I don’t implode with jealousy at all the good times happening elsewhere. Let’s see how that goes…

Is anyone else’s Bluesky scrolling in a very choppy way right now? Maybe something to do with pictures/video loading? This is making my doomscrolling jarring in a new and different way.

Have been having very vivid dreams lately. Last night I lost back to back PTQ finals, one to Sam Pardee in a Splinter Twin mirror, and one cooking competition against BDM, where he had to cook a steak, while I had to make vegan sushi, rolled in one specific leaf to be found in a giant garden

I’m pretty cold in London, which is *substantially* warmer than Chicago right now. Please, friends that are there, have a lovely time, and melt whatever ice you meet with warmth and kindness, not salt.

Just watched I Saw the TV Glow. Justice Smith was incredible, the movie in total was pretty unusual. Would welcome the chance to speak to others who have checked it out.

Watching Court of Gold, and KD getting emotional about how rad basketball is, how the crowd and the players just love the game, and how transformational it’s been for him and so many people is pretty great. Everyone (hopefully) has their thing. Sharing in their joy is life affirming.

Pickle’s ‘wistful stare into the distance’ is today because she has a small vet visit. Just a tiny operation, but she’s a little nervous. Good vibes appreciated!

Random late night trivia. George Clooney and Brad Pitt have, at least according to internet record, only ever had one overlap in their dating history. Her name is E.G. Daily, and in addition to being an absolute smokeshow, she’s the voice of Tommy Pickles in Rugrats. youtu.be/5ox3krkqDlI?...

Genuine question. Is the price of eggs in America a terrible example of inflation because what’s going on there is a supply/demand issue with the egg yield being screwed up by bird flu?

HEMA this week kicked my ass. Felt like an octopus just discovering quite how many limbs it has. By the end I was definitely doing better, but that wasn’t a high bar. Eyes up, looking forward to next week.

I subgame that I intend to play a bunch while playing at Exhibition (bracket 1) in Commander - How quickly can we figure out the theme? The perfect goal I’m striving for is decks where it takes a hot minute to do so, but once you get there, you realise there were clues *everywhere*
