I heard that my LGS was running a Dominaria Remastered Sealed RCQ with a top 8 draft! My wife thought I should go, that I needed the time for myself. I was pretty excited to get to my first paper Magic event in almost 9 months. Lets see how this mtgdad did...

It has been a minute since I've had to register a sealed deck.

I think my pool was pretty decent. I immediately pulled together blue and black, as Urza and Chainer were probably my best cards, and I had some nice interaction. White had an okay curve with some fliers, but nothing to write home about. Red had an okay curve but no removal outside of a Slice and Dice, which had my eye. Almost all of my green cards were unplayable, but I could splash a Call of the Herd and a Spiritmonger essentially for free. Juggernauts are nice on rate, but they don't necessarily fit with controll-y Sultai.

I ended up splashing red for Slice and Dice, and white for Radiant's Judgment. I really agonized over a Pyre Zombie, and ultimately cut it. Maybe the card is okay, but I always thought it was so unbelievably slow, and I was worried about the double red.

I had interaction, a lot of cycling to dig for my rares, i thought I could back door into the top 8 draft.

So how'd it go?

About as terrible as possible.

Okay, so my first event in 9 months, I've been starved of slinging cardboard, I am literally chomping at the bit... Bye. I get the bye round 1. So i get to sit around for another hour. Great.

Looking around the room, I have to say I'm feeling pretty okay about where I'm at. Lots of grinding, and maybe my deck is a little underpowered, but it's got the tools. I'm excited for round 2.

0-2. My deck just decided to vomit all over the floor. I mulliganed three times in two games, I drew all my expensive cards, none of my interaction. Ugh. I knew my opponent, I drafted against him a couple times at this shop, and he was up for getting in some more reps. So we played a couple more games that I won pretty handily. Just have to run the table.

When I saw the Siege-Gang Commander in game 1, I thought I lucked out with the Slice and Dice to mitigate the tokens. I was kind of expecting a Whitemane Lion at some point, but I was in a pretty good spot, or so I thought. But have you ever played a game of Magic against the Siege-Gang Commander and Deadwood Treefolk combo? 0-2.

So I wait for an hour, my deck just decides not to show up for a match, and then I lost to infinitely recurring probably the best rare in the set. Pretty hard to find the positives.

A couple observations:

The Lairs are nice in that you can pick up your cycling lands. Also, the Lairs enter the battlefield untapped. It's been a long time since I played a Lair, and I'm used to the Ravnica bounce-lands. It's not all upside though, there are bounce spells that can hit lands, and I watched someone get Recoiled into last week. Ugh.

Snap over-performed. I thought I wouldn't really want it because I'm not so much a tempo deck, but being able to double-spell is just so, so powerful. It also deals with Pacifism pretty cleanly.

The Radiant's Judgment splash was ill-advised. I thought it would be fine since I could just cycle it away (and the land could cycle also) but the card as written was just dead every game. I probably should have played the Pyre Zombie instead.

Could I have built a different deck? I could have leaned harder into Grixis or Sultai, and in hindsight, I think the green cards I could have played would probably be a little better?

Anyway, Dominaria Remastered seems sweet, I hope I can get a chance to draft it...

JudgeCast #279 - RCQ First Impressions with Meg Rickman

https://judgecast.com/archives/1637

In this episode Bryan and Samma bring on Meg Rickman to talk about the return of Local Comp Rel play. We discuss how it feels to “get back into it”, the return of local players, how to rebuild connections that might have atrophied over the pandemic, and remind stores that they want to secure certified experienced judges early.

Sijihua Zine has been shipped out so this can finally see the light of day! It was fun working with all the talented folks on this, thanks for having me @shlzine~

I wanted to draw the 100 year old virgin grandpa (and his (dead) beau Rong Changqing) because I've already done the main lovebirds and mr. daddy-issues. Wow, this old boy really knows how to carry a torch, pining after a dead married dude for all those long lonely years atop a snowy mountain... all alone... he needs all the love he can get man

This is so sad, Alexa play despacito

[birbfeeder2artisticboogaloo]

my crackpot theory about why ye baiyi let wenzhou go after The Reveal:

he did it bc it's what rong changqing would have done

#sometimes when ur soulmate leaves the world first u have to be urself and THEM too ._. #headcanon: yby wouldn't have done the prank where he pretended to fall on the bridge if rcq were alive #his mischief rating sharply increased after rcq died #i think they were both eccentric but in different ways #and together they were a MENACE TO SOCIETY lol #woh meta #birb still says #rongye

“Do you ever resent him for taking a wife?”

Ye Baiyi knows the way Wen Kexing likes to press on bruises, relishing in the ripples discomfort creates over the veneer of a pleasant evening. He’s watched the Ghost Valley brat work a a yellowing bruise back to a deep purple on Zhou Zishu’s body often enough to know that it’s as much a literal fascination as it is figurative. 

So Ye Baiyi knows not to take it personally, most of the time.

He lets the question sit in the quiet evening air, inhaling the scent of Zishu’s plum wine as he brings the cup to his lips. He, too, ruminates on the bruise. 

It doesn’t hurt, not in the way Kexing perhaps intends it to - for all the ways their relationship has developed and grown, the brat still tries to find the cracks in Baiyi’s composure. (He is, the old immortal supposes, trying to gauge the depths of his tolerance - where the patience finally frays.)

Baiyi lets his gaze roam over the courtyard, where Zishu lingers over the pin he is whittling and tries not to look like he is holding his breath.

Baiyi is reminded once again just how young these men are, and how unfathomable love can seem.      

“Do you?” he asks Kexing instead, pouring the er-shixiong of Siji Manor another cup.

Très eclectique comme mon style de bouquin haha !

Cher(e)s Voyageur(e)s, C’est samedi (petit changement de jour pour ce rendez-vous, adieu routine), et c’est le moment du rendez-vous “Rien que pour la couverture“. J’ai trouvé ce rendez-vous sur le blog Les lectures de Gribouille. Il m’a tout de suite conquise. Je vous en présenterai 5 par rendez-vous, et je vous mettrai si je les ai lu et si je les ai dans ma PAL. J’ai trouvé un compte super…

The 2DMV for the Tsukasa and Rui cover of Fixer has messages in Caesar Code at a couple of points. At the start of the first verse, you see the above graphic, containing two coded messages. At the top of this graphic is

G ju xu} t ot ms gt } orr i r { zi n gz g yzxg} 444

which is written using ROT6 ASCII. When decrypted, this reads as "A drowning man will clutch at a straw...", which is an old proverb that describes someone who is in a desperate situation and will take anything to change it.

The code in the bottom left of the graphic is

Nenah qdv j wf j ut b j axdwm f rcq j l nacj rwt rwmxobdoonarwp;

which is written in ROT9 and reads in English as "Every human walks around with a certain kind of suffering;". This quote is taken from actress Taraji P. Henson, and the full quote is "Every human walks around with a certain kind of sadness. They may not wear it on their sleeves, but it's there if you look deep."

The codes at the beginning of the second verse read the same as these two do in English, but use a different ROT-N.

D gurz qlqj p dq z loof oxwfk dwd vwudz }}}

is written in ROT3 and reads as the proverb when decrypted, and

Of obi rewkx g kvuc kbyexn g sdr k mobdk usxn ypceppobsxq<

is written in ROT10 and reads as the Henson quote in English.

So hear me out. Yknow ye baiyi and rong changqing. What if yby gets hanahaki but when he becomes immortal it doesn’t cure it it just means that it can’t kill him, and so yby has this progressive terrible disease that gets far worse than it would be capable of getting in a normal living person, and he continues to have it even after rcq dies

azu’s holy whisper in rcq 207 literally making the difference between life and death for both hamid and wilde wrecks my shit every time. just like, open weeping over two-point differentials in dice rolls.

buffs and debuffs save lives, y’all. love and cherish your support characters, for truly without them we are lost.

Watching the MTG Pro Tour and been following Nicole Tipple who;

Saw the Pro Tour at a Magicfest like, a year or two ago.

Studied Modern for 9 days

Immediately won a Modern RCQ

And is now 8-3 at her first PT rope-a-doping pros with the sickest deck imaginable.

I love Magic.

Not sure if you're allowed to share this info, but do you have data on the average age of not just Magic players in general, but more specifically the types of formats and their involvement in those formats? Say for instance the average age of Commander players vs players who have played in an RCQ within the last 12 months?

That data exists. I personally do not know it.
