Celebrated my 30th birthday by going 3-0 (6-0) at @labyrinthdc's "Trick or Treat" semi-chaos draft: random packs of VOW, MOM, and WOE.

The treat was 🏆ing with my favorite color pair. The trick was being on the draw all 6 games.

Really sad that all store championships going forward will be standard. These have been the best place for me to play paper limited at a higher level.

I'm ending my run 7-for-8 in top-8s (including game days). Despite never taking one down, I'm very proud of my record!

[Richard Roberts @stack__trace]

That's another Store Championship top-8 down (4-1, 3rd place) with UB faeries.

Also the promo prizes got damaged in transit, so the top 8 received extra prize support in the back 👀

Oh I was also wearing my Lords of Limited T-shirt for good luck, so extra thanks to @mistermetronome and @lordtupperware.

@josephjefe @FTNData @realfrankbrank Hurts doesn't need my help to look good, but I'll pitch in where I can 🦅

@josephjefe @FTNData @realfrankbrank But you presented the table before catchability was determined from MNF this week; the time this was made acts like every single throw from Monday night was uncatchable.

[Richard Roberts @stack__trace]

I'm thinking of attending the local WOE sealed RCQ. I have a lot to tighten up in paper play, especially if I wanna play at comp REL. But I've Top 8'ed 7/8 sealed store championships, and I think it's time to give it a shot.

[Richard Roberts @stack__trace]

Overcame the (actual) biggest punt in my magic career to make top 8 at the LTR sealed store championship. We take those!

Match 4: 1-2 against RBw. Massive punt game 2 telling my opponent to mill with Palantir even though in my head I literally meant draw. Tilted off a little, but rallied back.

Match 5: 2-1 against UR spells. Thankfully no Gandalf's Sanctions. Mouths amassed 10+ multiple times.

Forbes must have realized that my apathy towards "crypto" as a shorthand for cryptocurrency was reaching its zenith.

For many, cell phones hold the key to unlocking their lives. From bank accounts and credit cards, to where a person lives and even who their family members are — all that information can often be found on cell phones. https://t.co/ogOwK81z7s

Well it wasn't quite the media exposure I was expecting this week, but it's pretty sweet hearing my name called out on the PFF NFL pod.
