Am I wrong about Standard or is everybody else wrong? I suppose I'll know in a couple days.
Excited to battle at Pro Tour Secrets of Strixhaven alongside my teammates on @CosmosMTG courtesy of our sponsor @HeavyPlayLLC!

If the game of Riftbound and/or the logistics of staff can not make the rounds of a tournament go quicker,the RQs you need to start on Friday. Id like for the venue hall to be buzzing when the finals are going on and not almost closing time and empty :( 12 hour + days untenable.

@notalentgeek I’d recommend reaching out, I don’t know if Dan has twitter but if you don’t find a contact maybe try linkedin?
English
@PVDDR Genuinely interested, but no pricing anywhere? That assessment form looks long and I’d hate to fill it out only to find it’s out of my budget. A ballpark figure upfront would go a long way. 👀

I worked under Dan Felder at Riot and I found him to be both extremely knowledgeable about Game Design and also an amazing mentor.
Now he's doing a Design Bootcamp! If you're a Game Designer, you probably have a lot to learn from Dan, so check it out: gamedesignskills.com/courses/master…

@Glenn_Jones_ We overlapped on a couple of projects, he was the lead Path of Champions designer when I joined LoR and he helped me a lot with my transition from PvP to PvE
English
@PVDDR Among my favorite designer/writers, didn’t know you two overlapped—small world. Have already sent this course along to a number of students and friends, definitely a good opportunity
English
Do note that this is a months-long Bootcamp that is targeted at people who are or want to be professional Game Designers.
If you want to know more about Dan or Game Design, he's posted a lot of free stuff over the years in his blog danfelder.net or posts like this

@BasicMountain 0% to have a sideboard, could be anywhere between 30 and 80 cards.

Matt Nass hands me a “decklist” on his phone and then spends the next 5 minutes doing Groucho Marx eyebrows at me expecting me to clap like a trained seal.

@SamuelHBlack @hollow_saba Out of curiosity, how much of the game would you say is MTG vs politics? Maybe there's no clear answer, but for ex, when you win, what % was it because you're a better MTG player vs better at politics? (vs deckbuilding for the format which I'd guess is a mix of both)
English
@hollow_saba I like multiplayer political games. You can ask me rather than the void

What causes someone who plays real Magic at a high level to turn to whatever the hell this is
Sam Black@SamuelHBlack
Designed a deck to maximize my chances of winning in untimed rounds in top 16. Unfortunately, top 16 isn’t untimed—it’s 3 hours, then the highest remaining seat wins. I reached an unassailable position, but ran out of time. I was too focused on my game rather than the tournament-
English
@m_mccall @SamuelHBlack I also love your tweets about the format even though I can't imagine myself ever playing it. It's nice to see that the same game can be played in vastly different ways and people can enjoy all of them
English
@SamuelHBlack I for one am fascinated by and appreciate your tweets and podcasts about it
English
@revan_unicorn Thank you!
No, I've moved fully to Riftbound now.

Thrilled to be joining the @PlayRiftbound team as a contractor Game Designer! The game is super fun, the team is incredibly talented, and the community is already amazing. I've loved playtesting it in the past and I'm really excited to now officially be part of the team!

Saw this and asked myself if its normal that negative things feel way worse than what positive things can make up for it? Is it a mindset thing that can change or is that just the very nature of human feelings?
Terenas@TerenasIII
Per la sanità mentale che ho perso per tryhardare questo risultato, non sento nessun senso di soddisfazione. A botte di +19 -21, non mi sembra di aver avuto bei game, anzi, la stragrande maggioranza pieni di flame e tilt. L'ultima volta che ci riuscii ero contento. Ora sono vuoto

The new d2 patch is amazing! Even if you don't want to play Warlock, the QOL for everyone else is already worth getting the patch for (plus all the new items and endgame content ofc)

The Warlock is here and you know what that means. ✨ Skill trees mapped ✨ Tabs open ✨ Old instincts waking up @NumotTheNummy dives deep into the Warlock class in Diablo II: Resurrected – Reign of the Warlock. 📺 blizz.ly/4cvYiCo

@Smdster @lunaloveee8 @caro_irl So I think even if the gap in "pure skill" (however you want to measure it) of "best players in the game vs consistent PT competitor" is bigger, I think pure skill maybe plays a smaller role at this level of competition than it would at the RC level. But also just vibes 😅
English
@Smdster @lunaloveee8 @caro_irl I think once the players are both great, you can make up for the "skill gap" more easily due to other factors. There are many players who are (much) worse than me that I'd expect to be +50% vs me in a 50/50 matchup because they are more experienced with the matchup/decks/format.
English
how big do you think the chasm between magic pros and "average" players is?
in chess, the worst IM would have to have a mid-game stroke for me to win. obviously RNG and decks are a factor, but would a pro have a ~100% chance of beating "FNM 2-1 Andy" in a bo5? bo11? bo21?
English
@MTGO_Economics @Ajelenbogen I can't speak for all teams, but we never had that. If someone did very well they sometimes paid for dinner and that was about it
English
@Ajelenbogen @PVDDR I’ve often wondered this about pro teams. Do you have agreements with regard to winners contributing funding back to help cover expenses for the team’s next event or something similar?
English
For many years I have said that any Pro Tour where my team plays multiple distinct decks I consider a personal failure. For this Pro Tour, for the first time ever, we succeeded.

For @Smdster and I’s wedding anniversary I got Sam a coupon to remove 3 things from our house. This is because I love stuff and Sam, well he tolerates it lol.
I decided to add a veto just in case.
@MatthewLNass immediately snapped off “pick the couch so she has to veto” 😡😡

@LATAM_BRA Voo partindo da UE cancelado por falha mecanica, atraso de 8 horas, diversos outros problemas. Entrei em contato com a LATAM por formulário e disseram que não tenho direito a compensação alguma (diretamente contrário à regulamentação européia 261/2004). Como proceder?
