Got a brand new Containment Priest bug for @magiconline.bsky.social to look at. Priest flashed in response to Muxus, exiling a buncha stuff including Squee. Squee should still be castable from exile, but I wasn't able to.

I feel profound shame in being an American and not having taken stronger action, and that so many of our political and cultural leaders haven’t even begun to imagine what is actually necessary for change to happen at the speed it is required.

It’s extremely distressing, just unbelievably evil

"(We were) cuffed and shackled...and shuttled on to a plane in the middle of the night" Seamus Culleton, detained by ICE, calls us live from a detention centre in El Paso, Texas. His wife Tiffany and sister Caroline also speak to Kieran about Seamus' plight.

It’s valuable to listen to this first hand account of what the conditions are in these concentration camps and to know that it’s a moral imperative that we liberate them as we did Dachau. Any means necessary. It’s an abomination.

5-0s continue to elude me, but I've been getting a pretty decent swath of 4-1s with Gobs since getting down to this build, of which there are 2 slots I keep fiddling with. Pashalik/Putrid Goblin are my current holds on that slot, but also will try Impulsive Pilferer over Putrid Gob next.

Impossible to say what the history of competitive Magic would have been without Kai, but it would certainly be vastly lesser.

Yeah if Tamiyo isn’t dealt with immediately (which is not trivial to do), it’s very often draw 3 + gain 10 life, or simply win the game. It’s the most game-monopolizing creature since Lurrus.

Sorta interesting point on just how fast Legacy has become; there are 0 3 drops that people are actually spending 3 lands to cast other than Barrowgoyf. Legacy used to be basically defined by 3 drops. Goyf is often better than almost all the other options, but you'd think there would be something!

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the β€˜hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

I'm not crazy about the Bowmasters but don't think they're bad (obv). Would really like Chainwhirler to be in my maindeck, so could make that swap, play a 3rd bolt or MWM if we want 61. All up in the air rn!
