I’ve seen some discourse over how WOE is an aggressive format and people are upset by that. My stance is: yea, it is. You need to be on the board, or at least able to address it, by turn two.
(At least at Platinum, metas shift in the rankings in my experience.)
But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad format! These games have been sick. All of my trophies have been 7-2’s- I’ve had to play really tight to get them. There are a lot of really interesting decision points you have to make in game (where do I put my roles, should I play this as an adventure or just as the creature, should I crack my food or save it for a bargain later, etc.) Will I feel this way in a few months? Who knows. But I think, with the way the format is built for multicolor shenanigans and weird build arounds, WOE has some legs.

Cool thing about art reference
Have you seen the official art for The Murderbot Diaries? It’s pretty great: dynamic and detailed action scenes, with really interesting poses. Like so:
Well I just happened upon an article by Tommy Arnold (the artist) that breaks down his process, and I am amazed to find that these detailed paintings started as poses with a couple buddies in his living room.
The various characters were sometimes posed together, sometimes separately, sometimes with creative camera angles and furniture/props to get things just right.
Tommy’s the one lying on the floor here.
I won’t copy the whole article over, but it’s really cool. So simple, and so clever. He sketches out his original idea first, then gets reasonably close with the poses, and cobbles everything together in Photoshop to use as reference while he paints.
Look at this awesome picture:
That was real people at one point. Some duplicates, even.
And I am particularly amused to find that Ratthi’s poofy hair was copied directly from the artist’s good buddy Micah Epstein -- a fellow illustrator who’s done his own big-name book art and some Magic the Gathering cards.
Ratthi drew Fiery Confluence, among other things. Awesome.

The theming of Wilds of Eldraine is insanely fun. I was like "ok this will be fun but kind of goofy" and like, ok it is but also I love it WAY more than I thought I would, all of the candy themed horrors and Syr Ginger absolutely delight me.
The FLGS by my house didn't get their prerelease stock in, which like... Can't imagine how much that sucks for them, but the small place that I often play at farther out of town had stock so my prerelease went off without a hitch. Just means that it'll take me longer than usual to get the specific cards I want when I buy singles (which I should be doing anyway, I buy for art, not rarity, so it makes the most for me to just buy the singles and not packs, even though by god opening packs is fun), since I tend to buy them at my nearby FLGS since it's so close.
Anyway, the candy horrors are so cute it genuinely makes me want to run a loosely candy-horror themed black deck (commander?).

good morning here’s my perfect little guy who insisted on being snuggled IN my arms all night last night. it’s FRIDAY and I think I only have two meetings today—waiting on a prof to confirm or move a possible third. I will finish up a bunch of small work tasks but I give myself permission to spend much of the day getting the house/my life in order, esp since I have this four-hour choir retreat taking up a big chunk of tomorrow 🫠 to be ready for my 10am mtg I need to shower by 8:45 but can lounge and plan till then.
gonna list house chores by room so I can check them all off and feel smugly accomplished…

put all laundry away
tidy closet floor area
tidy dresser area
tidy shelves and nightstand

BATHROOM

pile towels, liner, bath mat in one place
organize meds drawer

LAUNDRY ROOM

LIVING ROOM

julia public diary
given the circumstances, it could be a lot worse i guess. anti depressants gone without now for 4 months, i don't miss them. being single is okay, pretty lonely but it's not when i have friends around. i'm thankful i have a good crew and so many friends of different closeness.
it was nice to play mtg with homies, love homies ;u; one out of two by silly circumstances. love greasefang fr.
went to the gig and had a nice time. i knew over half the people and was kind of the only one there who wasn't playing a set in the backyard in the rain. there was a cover for the bands tho at least. i smell like rain right now. when i came back from the bathroom they were waiting for me and sang a cute song just like repeating my name and singing it was so cute. a lot of overwhelming joy, lots of bounciness in my moves. made new friends, said hi a lot. i breakdown shyness with just chilling and like knowing the homies i'm chatting with are just trying to make friends and chill too.
i think i'll be okay.

Haiii <333 I'm Ender or Coy (or Rose when I'm regressed!) Welcome to my agere blog 🌙
✨ Here's (under the cut) some stuff you should know about me before interacting, following, or if you wanna be friends! ✨
The information listed is:
my DNI and a misc important section- you MUST read these before following/messaging/commenting.
a section for if you wanna be friends- you MUST read this if you wanna message to be friends
my wishlists- just for fun but if you gimme gifts I will love your forever and ever
my likes/dislikes- you should read this to make sure there's nothing on my page that may make you uncomfy, but you don't have to
my tags- these will help you find posts you're looking for
(this DNI banner is free to use if you want, idm)
DNI List
🌙 Actually, I don't really have much of one but:
⭐ Basic stuff, obviously, like no NSFW (abdl and other kink variants included) and no homophobes/racists/ect on my page.
💛 I'd also prefer AI "art" users stay off my page, but I probably won't block or even notice if you're not heavily interacting!
✨ Other than that, I'll just block anyone who makes me uncomfy... it's usually nothing personal <3
Important About Me
🌙 I like media from problematic creators.
⭐ I won't take it personally if you block me over that, I know it may make some people uncomfy!
💛 I will not, however, let you fight me on it... I'll just block you first.
✨ When I say separate the art from the artist, I don't mean give them money and pretend nothing happened- I mean piracy is easy and bootleg/second hand merch is abundant!
🌙 I will block people who post slander on things I enjoy, but not people who simply hold the creators accountable or are just slightly critical.
⭐ It's hard for me to understand heavy baby talk or typing quirks, especially when I'm regressed.
💛 If you message/comment with them, there's a fair chance I'll ignore it since I can't read it. It's nothing personal, just try to add a translation if I ignore you the first time!
Wanna be my friend?
✨ My DMs are open, but I'm a bit shy and I've never been the greatest at making friends or responding to messages, so please be patient with me!
🌙 I'd prefer only to be friends with people who are 17-21 bodily, and 16 and 25 are my absolute limits (I'm 18).
⭐ If you don't want to be friends with me outside of little space, I'd prefer not to be friends at all. This is a pretty small (hehe) part of my life after all!
Wanna buy me something?
No you don't! Here are my wishlists anyways :3
