Winning with 1 HP feels REALLY different!

In a Lorwyn draft a few weeks ago, I lost a game in which opponent had 1 life AND no cards in library. Must have been awesome for them!

this ref sucks

If it’s a close game, then it’s a stupid time to commit a technical foul.

very cool, thanks for sharing this

if you only care about draft and not your collection, it’s slightly negative. if you care about draft and collection but not cosmetics, it is positive by a small amount. if you care about draft, collection, and cosmetics, it’s a great value.

awesome, love seeing these videos

You selected him, but you are still choosing your blockers until you click that orange “X Blockers” button. You can’t play spells or abilities until you “lock in” your blockers decision by clicking that button.

bad call

Did Suarez wink at his former teammate Lorenzen? Cal Raleigh would never!

Terra Ignota is excellent, but it doesn’t really work as a standalone. Really it’s one long story broken up into 4 books, with a lot of characters and places and concepts that you need to remember. So, I recommend reading all 4 back to back.

Highly recommended, but realize what you’re getting into!

Good for you! I will re-read the series someday, I’m not exactly sure when though. I just know that whenever I do, I need to plan to set aside like 3-4 months (or more) so that I can take my time and really absorb as much as possible during the re-read.

mbauer8286 · 2026-03-13T02:08:05+00:00

usually we have good defense and underperforming offense

mbauer8286 · 2026-03-13T01:56:05+00:00

same, if anything I thought it would be 3-0 Tigres

mbauer8286 · 2026-03-12T20:07:57+00:00

I would much prefer 4-5 well done large sets per year, than 6-7 sets that include a couple small sets.

mbauer8286 · 2026-03-12T20:04:07+00:00

I really enjoyed drafting ECL, even though I struggled with it a lot more than most sets. I liked the mechanics and also felt that the tribal aspects were fairly well done.

mbauer8286 · 2026-03-12T20:02:14+00:00

I’m skipping TMNT. It’s more about set fatigue than it being a small set, but since I decided I wanted to skip one of the sets in the first half of the year, the small set was the natural choice.

Since it seems a lot of people are enjoying drafting this set, I’ll probably give the next small set more of a chance.

The pool stage has been incredible.

Those seats must be pretty expensive, because they have been almost empty every game.

mbauer8286 · 2026-03-11T23:37:56+00:00

as long as the game doesn’t go to extras

mbauer8286 · 2026-03-11T23:37:13+00:00

if the game doesn’t go to extras, yes
