Summer 2024 Anime is wrapping up and it had a its fair share of pleasant surprises!

Here is four new series that I felt rose above the increasing large crowd of seasonal shows. Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!

Rom-Com where protag is stuck helping all the heroines who lost in their battles for love. Surprising fun cast of eccentrics. Some of the most impressive and well drawn school/background shots ever. The production team went the extra mile

Thread 🧵 1/9: MTGO League Data for EVERY format is now PUBLIC information. Daybreak Games has provided creators with an open rest API that can be used to gather and share data on their favorite formats. 2/9: In the past this kind of information has been used in WOTC Ban/Restriction announcements and was typically not shared to the MTG community. Daybreak has cleared this release!

🧵Next weekends Vintage Showcase is a brewers paradise. The metagame has converged onto a pair of Lurrus Saga Control decks that will likely represent a large portion of the upcoming tournament metagame. These decks are very specifically built to beat normal Vintage decks 1/X These decks can struggle when placed up against outside the box threats that go over the top of them. Specifically under costed powerful creatures can be a huge issue. 2/X

Had trouble sleeping last night after the adrenaline. Spent time thinking about what it takes to win @ magic. Think ive been stocking far too much in favor of technical play.

I didnt play well yesterday but pre tourney work and hot draws were enough to make up for it.

How much of playing well happens before the tournament? With your practice ans game knowledge. With your deck selection. At least for Vintage i feel the signs point wildy in both directions. For me its my greatest strength but also 2 of the 3 EW were first timer vintage players
