I don't know where the pixels in this image went but they're gone and they're not coming back and we're both going to have to deal

3-0'd my second OP event so perhaps it is safe to say that I will be king of the pirates? This game is Fun and Good

entered my first OPTCG event last night and went 2-1, which is very exciting! it's been a while since I competed in anything, let alone a new game, so I'm riding high today. very grateful to @mikiwho.bsky.social and @megansmith13.bsky.social for all the practice games!

it's kind of one of the main characters of the show, if you think about it

wait maybe "mayonnaise" is modifying "style sauce" (I don't see a hyphen) and it's like, sauce for your style. sauce that makes you style? I leave the future in your hands...

tbh I'm as stoked about that mox as I am about finding the most Ari card everβ€”a crimped foil Deranged Hermit. I love squirrels, I love misprints, I love retro foils, and Urza's Legacy was the first set to come out after I started the game. This one will absolutely be cherished.

Picked up some dope cards at Commandfest Tacoma today, including one that fulfills my 25-year dream of owning power!

one of my favorite moments with the deck thus far was full send at everyone, all the dorks get let through, then I flashed in the Triad w/ Gandalf and got the emblem at instant speed. It's a rude card!

Venat is my favorite FFXIV character by a mile, so I'll keep this deck together for a long time.

Henceforth You Shall Walk - Commander (Venat, Heart of Hydaelyn // Hydaelyn, the Mothercrystal) A deck created using Moxfield.

Here you go! I built it with the restriction that all nonland permanents must be legendary, so it naturally ended up with a bit of an equipment theme. Should probably find a slot for the Seriema now. moxfield.com/decks/_M647F...

I didn't build it like that initially but I'm definitely adding that in. Who would dare object?

Heading out to Commandfest Tacoma and making some spooktacular choices. Today's cast:

Chatterfang (b4)
Venat (optimized b2)
Zoraline (optimized b2)
Spirit of the Night (incredibly unoptimized b2)

Excited to jam some games and make some trades!

7-2, super fun deck. GAZ was mvp and I guess Black Lotus was pretty good too
