I can avoid living legend no longer. Break glass in case of Soul Shackles. Archon Alters Rosetta shall be wielded once more. #fabtcg.

[Calum Alasdair Young @calumyoung1]

Well, another classic of the '5-0 out in the quarters' genre. Still, #fabtcg is great, and blitz isn't as bad as everyone says it is I swear.

@dieworkwear Is there a good dress sneaker for men that would go with colourful suits? I've damaged my foot so probably need to get some soft supportive shoes.

[Calum Alasdair Young @calumyoung1]

Finally managed it, now the inevitable social media clout and fame. I do love the cube. #MTGA

[Calum Alasdair Young @calumyoung1]

Okay so yes I played horribly in CC all weekend, but the pack gods redeemed me in some Sealed. A fabled, a marvel, and this banger of a 4-0 deck. #fabtcg is cracking as ever.

@Shahmir_Samee 8pm, De Tafelridder, Oude Herengracht 11a, 2312LN Leiden. Have fun!

[Calum Alasdair Young @calumyoung1]

@Shahmir_Samee Leiden on Friday nights.

[Calum Alasdair Young @calumyoung1]

@Shahmir_Samee We play in The Hague Thursdays at 7pm at Tabletop Kingdom, right near the station :D

@phizzletcg Unless someone else also did this I think this was on Jim Davis' stream. So there's a live reaction from your opponent if you want it.

Finally broke the streak of the past few months playing Historic, having been driven out of Standard by Deep-Cavern Bat. Mono-Green and Light-Paws shenanigans.

Maybe the PT can reveal something for Standard that isn't spamming black removal cards? #MTGThunder

[Calum Alasdair Young @calumyoung1]

Okay I'm only a bronze limited player, but I'm still unreasonably proud of my first 7 win draft. Lotta real fun interactions here, although potentially a few tricks you might only get away with one day 1. #MTGアリーナ

@d00mwake They hit 3 rippers off creativity, then sacred one to Sorin next turn. I died *real* fast.

Alright, let the games begin!

[Calum Alasdair Young @calumyoung1]

Hey, Japan also has upstairs trains!

[Calum Alasdair Young @calumyoung1]

So I'm off from the Netherlands to Japan for two weeks, and I promised @beckymontacute photos of 'urbanism', so aping her usual transport threads, we start with a tram to Den Haag Centraal!

[Calum Alasdair Young @calumyoung1]

A few other fun things spotted today.
