Life happens and my enjoyment of the game hasn't changed. I haven't been to legacy in a month now, and I won't get back to until next week I believe. Thanksgiving happened, other events overtook my game time, and generally scheduling did not work out in favor of playing the game.
I have been tweaking my D&T list a smidgen. I took out one of my Ports and put in an Ancient Tomb. I've noticed Thraben U has added a Tomb as well, however he only runs 2 Karakas. I am still in favor of 3 of those. Yes, it is a feel bad to have 2 at times, but I like the better odds to fight off things like B/R reanimator, Dark Depths critters, and various Sneak/Show attacks.
Speaking of Sneak/Show- there has been an uptick in the results players have seen with the deck. I don't want to seem too selfish, but stop bringing the light to the deck! I love other players not having any sideboard for me. Muahahahahahahahaha!
Auction update- nothing. I dabbled in a VERY high end one over the weekend, but I just could not commit hundreds of dollars to various cards I was interested in. The "value" of one set of cards was about 1500, and I just couldn't justify putting out 500-700 to secure that then sweating to offload enough to get the rest for free.
[Editor's note: my entire goal with these auctions is to get magic either super cheap or free. Generally I like to be able to either get sets of cards which I can flip some of it to pay for the rest. I know it seems silly, but when I have young kids at home, budgets are needed or in my case- find a way to have the effort support itself while being able to grow.]
Last note- I've been doing some playing on Arena. I am still not loving the Standard meta, but I want to keep grinding to pick up a card base. Eventually, I hope, there will be a time in the future when cards start to rotate out creating a new meta.
I have no clue how Arena will address that meta when you can no longer get the 'older' cards. Wild cards only? There is no way to trade, buy, sell.... so, lets see how they handle it.
[If you want to challenge me directly on Arena, LET ME KNOW!]
