Hell yeah

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

they fired everybody who knows that Puerto Ricans are American

Instagram prevented me from posting a negative comment about ICE just now so I guess I'm off the platform.

Together, we raised over $600,000 for @translifeline.org this year. From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful. We have come together to say to our trans friends and family that they are loved and that they are not alone.

Trans rights are human rights.

When we gather together, we can make Magic.

I ask because it was fairly easy to snag from my current Stats Breakdowns.

For example, Bant Airbending at RC Portland played 658 Matches & had a Confirmed Game 1 Win in 166 of them (25.2% of matches)

I could even do this H2H for Archetypes if people are interested!

However, we DO have the number of 2-0-0 match records Decks/Players record - which led me to Confirmed Game 1 Wins.

Seeing how many times a Deck (or Player) wins Game 1 (and the match) to determine a higher favorable match up.

Is this something worth digging into?

Breaking down how many times a deck (or Player) wins Game 1 would be interesting to understand if the deck was more favored Maindeck, and if sideboarding changed things enough to move the needle in the H2H.

The downside is, we don't get game score outside the final result (cont)

Toying around with some new ideas for Stats to look at from larger Events.

We don't get the Play/Draw statistics from Events outside Top 8 - but I was wondering if there were any other game-level things to look at.

So I started thinking about Maindeck vs Sideboard games (cont)

That Jeff Bezos's Amazon gave Brett Ratner, someone photographed with Jeffrey Epstein and in the Epstein Files, $75 million to make a doc about Melania Trump, while he chooses to destroy The Washington Post, says about all you need to know.

OptimusTomTV Former Esports Shoutcasting Guy & Analyst talks about Magic decks, metagames, and general thoughts. I really like Pioneer.

If you enjoy these recap posts, I cover more statistics in my recap videos over on YouTube - which is the best way to Support more analysis! You can also use my ManaPool Code if this breakdown inspired you to build a new deck!
