Haven’t been tweeting a lot lately. Been writing, watching democracy wither, converting my classes to a new LMS, and helping my son move. Here’s my stack of #MagicTheGathering articles I’ve been doing: https://t.co/29YTxHOpjm
@EDHRECast How did @mathimus55 avoid the temptation to talk about the 50 VanDammage from Aetherflux Reservoir in the Challenge the Stats? Or did. that. not. occur. to. him. ??? Maybe some time in the Dad Joke Phantom Zone needed?
@Marshall_LR@lsv I always listen to LR when I cook and tonight I was cooking @kenjilopezalt ‘s Kung Pao Chicken exactly when Marshall started talking about cooking it.
I know the affinity flashbacks will be strong for my Magic boomers. But let’s check out the cutest robots in #Magic in my latest article. https://t.co/sF7ipIInb8
Squirrels!! Let's go, #MagicTheGathering fans. You know you want to absorb the terrifying cuteness of my history and analysis of #squirrels in MTG! https://t.co/xArx436nNc
Okay #MTG players, here’s the history of ward, hexproof and shroud you always wanted. Oh, wait, you don’t think you want that? Of course you do. If you see this tweet, that���s ward. If you don’t, hexproof. Don’t have Twitter? Shroud. https://t.co/Oac5XvUcKU
More Magic the Gathering content from me at @draftsim . Shapeshifters, “tribal tribal” Commander and some Magic boomer history. Check it out! https://t.co/OB1ossqqhV
But second, conversely, though the wisdom now is to stick with one color as long as possible in VOW to more easily grab a bomb in another color, it might be worth speculating and maybe burning a pick on one of these. The only thing better than one Brine Comber in UW is two.
Another #MTGArena 17lands data thread, this one a bit shorter than the last. I looked at average ATA (average taken at) rates for VOW. The higher the number, the later it goes in picks, which means these cards are getting passed. I looked at the cards with over 60% GIH WR. . .
First, perhaps, especially for the gold cards here, you can afford to wait. You don't need to grab the first Bloodtithe you see if you are grabbing red vampires and holding off getting into increasingly contested black.
