Had a nice Riftbound day yesterday ft a few hours of playtesting in the morning into a Skirmish. The tournament boiled down to us and another testing discord on each side of T4 (with @bsweitz123.bsky.social's Ahri knocking me out in said semis 😵‍💫)

I didn’t even see you take that picture. Also I’m choosing to be offended @rebell.bsky.social

Also @nicoledubin.bsky.social rude. I am normal and can be trusted with color pie

You’re sort of both right. I was Red for a long time, but now am White after swapping with Corey

Brb nerfing every dragon as retaliation

Well, looks like I might have to be an Ahri one-trick in the card game too.

2-0 in my first sanctioned riftbound event. It’s double spell-o’clock in Noxus Standard Time

Went 4-1 in a six-person rotisserie draft of monored cube. Loved my deck and the soothsayer+gargadon combo was awesome. Lost to Goblins chumpblocking to buy enough time to combo kill me with Kiki jiki or Muxus.

I expect it to really blow up

Had a sick Jeskai Kiki combo cube deck this evening. My favorite event was Hedron Crabbing myself then Collectors Cage, find Karmic Guide reanimate Kiki reanimate Village Bellringer. Also ephemerated a manifested bellringer to win.

Capped it off with an 0-2 with a pretty bad deck in @turn3coco.bsky.social’s CoCo Cube. Tried some stuff out I hadn’t done and it didn’t come together very well. Playing only 2 cocos is probably griefing.

Won a for-funsies team draft of Monored Cube with this nice artifact deck. Agatha’s soul cauldron on gingerbrute and steel overseer carried me. Never got to make the Chad mako+LED play

@gavinverhey.bsky.social oops. Cross posting is heinous.

Lost to @GavinVerhey in the top 64 in Old Border Foil cube. Tried to draft Storm and had to pivot into a Forbiddian Reanimator deck. Sad to not get to draft the maximum number of times but the event was a blast overall!

Lost a super close finals in the 6 drop cube to finish 2-1, but good enough for the final day. I cast Moltensteel Hellkite on turn 4, put all my life into it on t5 and then toil//troubled my opponent for lethal. #cubecon2025 #wotcstaff

@thechicagocube.bsky.social oops

Got to make a toooon of zombies and 3-0 with this sick sultai graveyard deck in the @TheChicagoCube. Scavenging Ooze plus Teval is just plain dirty. Super fun cube based around 3-color synergy clusters. #cubecon2025 #wotcstaff

Oh I also got to respond to sudden death by unmorphing Thelonite Hermit. True cinema.

I enjoyed deciding just how equipmenty/artifact graveyardy/go wide to be during the draft! Could have gone many different directions even within my theme.

3-0 the Ravnica/Time Spiral Standard cube with UGw Pickles Glare. Never got to execute the Brine lock, but did get to make 12 saprolings with Vesuvan+Thelonite. So much fun, highly recommend this cube. #cubecon2025 #wotcstaff

2-1 in Gizmo cube but 3-0 in Study in Harmony cube at CubeCon. Forgot to get a gizmo pic, but here’s my mardu artifact aggro in Harmony! #cubecon #wotcstaff

Is it possible to get FOMO for an event that I’m transit to?

Hey everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve weighed in on something on here, but since the influencer team reports up into me, let’s talk about this question (1/5)

My ex turned me in for a model 10 years younger. But he’s a pretty cool guy and we talk about silksong

See you there buddy :)

Looking for a mutual friend to share an AirBnB with me and some other very cool #wotcstaffers for CubeCon. It's a sick lakeside bungalo, please message if you're still looking for accommodation.

Ok beat silksong any% in 3hr30min. High halls arena is so goddamn hard with only 5 masks. I learned silkspear is so much more OP than in my first playthrough.

The sheer level of vitriol, disrespect, disgust, and hatred I see people throw at their fellow humans these days gets me depressed. The empathy is replaced with needlessly inflammatory rhetoric, and it's seeping into more and more parts of life. We should do better.

I think I’ll probably try to get the speedrun achievement at least, after I recall where each skill is

I even learned from the internet that there were some events I missed. If I do another play through I’ll make sure to hit them. A speedrun might be fun, but I’m not sure yet if I want to do it. Maybe it’ll be a project for the holidays.
