Moved to sf. Now think I can make it to Spotlight Vegas - anyone still looking for a team for limited trios?

P.s. where the sf local mtg players at?

A useful mental framework in poker (and life) is that when future EV promising, you want to reduce variance to realize that edge.

Risk-adjusted return isn't about being a scared money nit. It's literally more valuable when you factor in future game.

Here are some examples:

Model degradation really emphasizes what can come out of cognitive inequality.

Companies paying through the nose will compound while everyone else on a subscription plan flounders.

Your 1 day of work becomes a week, and their's becomes an hour.

Gap widens.

SOS isn't even out and we on @HandshakeMTG are drafting.

I cooked a storm deck, this is what modern day limited has come to.

Brain Freeze + Reprieve/Return the Favor.

Proceed with caution.

P.s. SOS feeling nostalgic and fun good vibes.

Break out the Guac! An iteration on a 3 card combo deck made possible my TMT's very own chrome dome and guac and marshmallow pizza. Don't think it's quite there - maybe someone can iterate and refine (send me) the best version!

Turns out the bottleneck is the human’s context window, not the AI’s

After the online limited championship qualifier last weekend, ECL limited has reached maturity - surely it can't be that easy?

First try, 7-1 with aggressive pile for TWO BOXIES
