Makin' Mats, Reviewin' Sets... Team Life...

Session with the lads, Brewin' too!


Session 2 with the team and we've done a set review with Fate Reforged, as usual I disagreed with most things (I disagree with most things in life and play Devil's advocate too much) but some of the info the team mates were giving has sunk in. The team is getting there and I'm working out how to communicate better with some of the members I don't know too well. The banter (jokes) have kept things feeling good and sooner or later they'll work out I'm not actually that great of a magic player but until then I'll keep turning up and throwing my 2 cents in. We've found a few great under the radar cards and that's cool because travelling 20 odd miles to hear that Monastery Mentor is a solid card isn't really worthwhile, but getting insight into how the team looks at cards is well worth it! 

Our captain has expressed urgency on getting the team sorted with mats and shirts etc, it's all pretty exciting stuff. 

So I went on a bit of a brew while I was at it... 

Token/Burn

  • 4 Wild Slash
  • 4 Collateral Damage
  • 4 Lightning Strike
  • 4 Mantis Rider
  • 4 Goblin Rabblemaster
  • 4 Monastery Mentor
  • 4 Jeskai Charm
  • 2 Jeskai Ascendancy
  • 4 Stoke the Flames
  • 4 Treasure Cruise
  • 22 Lands

We did some testing with the deck and suffice it to say it was pretty damn impressive. This build is nowhere near optimal and this could be a project for me in the upcoming months. 




I also designed a playmat but I'm not going to put a picture of that up just yet ;)

Streets of Rage 2 and working.

Work for a company because you want to, not because you need to. It's 2018, opportunity is in every aspect of our life. It's literally everywhere and you'd have to be blind not to see how many start ups and big firms need gaps filled. Not to mention the rife amount of space there is for new businesses to emerge and generate income quickly. I'm not really anyone in the grand scheme of things, but I sit and observe a lot of the time. Both my immediate surroundings and the bigger picture, often asking questions others may think are irrelevant. But those questions help me paint pictures in my mind of how things are. Take a look at one of the Sega's ultimate games on the Mega Drive. Streets of Rage 2 (release in 1992) These people worked late into the night, not because they had to, because what they had was solid gold, they knew it, they had fun with it and their bosses worked hard to make sure they had the space needed to shine. A small, agile

State of Judging - Burnt, OUT!

I should take a moment to make apologies to some people. I've been pretty weird at the moment. Honestly I'm not doing to well mentally right now. I'm angry, disappointed and have rage with regards Magic these days. This is down to a few things where mostly I don't feel it's my fault actually but have places blame on myself for over a year now. Judging wise I'm struggling massively, hugely, insanely and being the extroverted tit that I am I find it harder to tell something properly than try and clear my thoughts thought something like Facebook. I've had my own confidence shaken up by review, by feedback and by actions, confidence in the fact I'm not able to be who I want to be (who I used to be) as a judge. When things are running well, when heroes are around me to pick up me and collaborate with me I am proud of being a judge, proud of what I can contribute. My european friends in Judging and a good deal of UKISA judges are absolutely incredible as
