Card subject to change (malfunctioning brain cell) #MLBTheShow26 #MTGxTMNT #USPHL #NE10 #NEWMAC
This week, Quebec's favorite Anglophone USPHL announcer has the Junior Bruins regular season home finale, St. A's and Clark sportsballs, #MLBTheShow26 launch weekend and #MTGxTMNT shenanigans.
WAAAAATTTCHHH ITTTTT
Depression hits like prime Mike Tyson when your plans get canceled at the last minute and you end up going 1-2 in a 4-player prerelease with the worst deck you've built since your first pre surrounded by 5 #EDH pods in a store selling Nadu for $13, all while it's pouring outside. #mtg
At LGS #Commander night
Me: Y'all looking for a 4th?
P1: Sure
P2: Sure
P3: That depends, are you playing to win?
Me: I mean, should I not?
P3: I'm not playing unless we have that discussion
Me: It's a 4
P3: *salts off, packs up and leaves the store so fast Usain Bolt would weep*

My favorite planeswalker is whichever one most recently won me a game. Today it is Ral and his groupies.
ADHD and modern Magic card design don't mix
Not Quite March Madness, NEWMAC basketball semifinals DH - Babson women vs. Clark and men vs. Salve Regina.
Got rebooked on a nonstop, second biggest W of the trip
Late breakfast, filling enough to skip lunch. Breakfast poutine at Milwaukee Public Market. And a Sprecher. Good as advertised @shippingshield.bsky.social
Stuck in Milwaukee til Wednesday. AMA and send me Culvers
God could only let me have fun for one day at #SCGMilwaukee, got housed in the Super Sunday and ReCQ. See you in Cincy, nerds. Now to see if I can get home through this blizzard. @shippingshield.bsky.social
A Shipping Shield baseball cap and a Monument to Endurance MTG card propped up against a deck of Magic cards in blue sleeves in front of a red deck box.

4th SB in 24 hours - last minute audible from Sear to Ral - did the job. List in alt text.
@shippingshield.bsky.social
4th different sideboard in the last 24 hours. That's a good sign for the $5K, right? #scgmilwaukee @shippingshield.bsky.social
I am not as bent out of shape as some about UB because I got into MTG for the competition and community and not for the high fantasy themes, but I empathize with those who dislike the idea of Magic: The Fortnitening. The glut of UB sets does not speak well of MTG's appeal on its own legs.

Colleague: Can you cover a game or two for me this weekend?
My reply verbatim:
Literally the first two songs Tidal plays to start my trip to #SCGMilwaukee. Vibes are immaculate. @shippingshield.bsky.social
WotC Mfers will see this and be like "more Universes Beyond sets, got it"
Probably my biggest neurodivergent weakness is struggling to find where people draw the line between polite communication and being a pest.
Here's what that struggle gets me when I follow Cardsphere's rules when a trader hasn't sent within three business days.
Reminds me of the time my wife suggested I think about opening a LGS that was also a social club for neurodivergent folks and I responded "That's just an LGS"

So will John Cena be a canon character, Secret Lair or Universes Beyond?
Or play 60 card formats, that works too
