亚洲人为什么总不擅长表达爱？ 这是叔见过最好的回答： 西方是海洋文明， 每一次出发都可能是永别， 所以人们高声表达爱意。 而东亚是农耕文明， 人们等待耕地、等待播种，等待雨水、等待收割。 他们一生都在等待， 于是爱也是场细腻的雨，温润无声。 所以亚洲人的眼球是大地的颜色，西方人的眼球是大海的颜色。

I love TCG accessories, I spent a lot on them. But I saw this tweet in January and it's genuinely been the goat. UNIQLO Multi-Pocket Shoulder Bag is the ultimate TCG bag. It's perfect for 4 deck boxes. Pockets for extras, inside and outside. Space on top for a playmat holder. Cannot recommend it more. And it's competitively priced.

mfw I play a D tier deck and get a D tier result

On the plane so time to write an essay about the Standard format. Contrary to what many people might believe, I actually don't think competitive Standard is limited to the top S and A tier decks. I haven't done a tier list in a very long time, but when I do I always list the decks that I feel give you the highest chance of victory, followed by other decks thst can also win. That doesn't mean other decks cannot do well. Right now, with a bit of luck many decks can snag wins. Is this a good thing? This is debatable. From the perspective of diversity, sure. When you bring in other aspects such as how decks are played now (the jokes are all decks do pretty much the same thing; +1 drive/+5000/multi attack) then there's a lot more to be discussed. If all decks can win, then why do people need to spend money on expensive generics for top tier decks? It comes back to this variance. People want to maximise all they can to try and offset every bit of variance. You're investing money and time already preparing and travelling to an event, you want to make sure you are 100% ready and the only thing that can influence the result is your luck on the day. Other factors influence this decision too. First is the event structure. Top cut Bo1 single elimination forces you to play a consistent deck. The last thing you want happen is playing 9 rounds in Swiss, then having to play 5 more games in top cut and losing in top 32, 16 or 8. Top cut should be double elimination or Bo3. This will allow slightly more leeway in deck choice. The ultra high roll decks will suffer because more games will be played, but it means more ability for skill expression. The other thing we can change is prizing. Extending good prizing to more players will improve the tournament experience, and also allow more people to bring what they want. The key to good prizing is giving players something they want. Going to One Piece nationals, I went x-3 and walked away with $420 worth of participation prizing. I was happy. Vanguard is never going to reach that level. But players can still be happy. Players won't be happy if they walk away with a foil draw trigger. You have 2 ways to do prizing. One is via value, which is what big IP games can do. Vanguard will not be able to do this (yet). The second is giving what players want. This is what Vanguard can do. Imagine having a promo pack containing cards that players actually want. Alternate arts of cool cards that people want and play. Then add different tiers and levels of this prizing too, encouraging people to keep playing. Maybe even do best of prizing like Riftbound, except limit it to certain newer ride lines, themes or nations etc. There's so many ways to be creative in this space to create better outcomes for all players. Give things that players want, and people will spend. Give things that players don't want, and they'll find there way somewhere else. So basically speaking, yes Alphard can top regionals. However, there is no incentive to bring Alphard when you can bring another one.

New video! Talking about the HUGE misconception people have over searchers and unsearchable cards Also trying to introduce more people to hypergeometric calculators (and the goat Frank Karsten)

How Americans see Eileen Gu and Alysa Liu

ok i finally made a thumbnail chat link below

@Cmlpc19 @FernieGeez @fudelioTCG @JCM1117 Ah ok that makes sense. Would you change any cards from your list after playing the event and with new heroines booster? Specifically what are your thoughts on 7 uta or dead man game or megalo? And how necessary did you feel hody Jones is?

@avalonaccessory @FernieGeez @fudelioTCG @JCM1117 Thank you! 9c Zoro was a meta call for Imu, but I feel it does very well into the yellow decks, Pdoffy, and Green Mihawk (if you can follow it up with a 9c Shanks). 7c Shanks is too slow against Imu because you need to create immedate pressure every turn.

Last weekend - Top 16 at the One Piece Trading Card Game North American Finals Vegas #optcg w/ Green Bonney. In a chaotic meta, we almost got her there, boys - @FernieGeez @fudelioTCG #MZZD #KFJ @JCM1117

@hiroshishou_ I'm starting to play RG Law coming from G Bonney. 5 blocker bonney is great for cycle. What is Shambles?

To new RG Law players Don't get lost in the sauce Late game, board full - search + Shambles into Bonney blocker is Draw 3 discard 1 Shambles into another searcher is draw 2 Search + Shambles into other stuff is draw 1 No matter what you're getting some refill for 3-4 don

@toyorin_44 I don't understand a word of this but I'm sensing good liael vibes so I'm here for it

Draconis was mid Kikylgooning when a group of Animuses came and spiked her Cortisol levels😭 Is ignoring Animus while munting and mogging Amorta more useful than bindmaxxing NKOfishing in the X-2 bracket?
