I always got box sets of his podcast appearances.

The APM some of those pros reach is insane.

Thanks to you and Tim for the responses. I've been playing Pathfinder exclusively lately, but I might have to try rolling up a 5e character again.

One of my friends has been trying to convince me to play Commander (I mostly do Standard/Modern) and I think I'm going to do it. It seems fun as hell.

Hail Satan for Andy Daly!

Oh yes, of course. I misunderstood.

Oh, that's even better.

That's pretty cool. What do you do now, if I may ask?

That was such a strange and pointless article. I still don't understand why it exists.

As I mentioned above, I've met a number of pro poker players who play Magic for fun so that's a pretty accurate assessment.

Throw some marijuana in there for good measure.

Generally a tournament is going to end with an even split between wins and losses, although draws can certainly throw that off.

I've met quite a few professional poker players who play MtG for fun. I think that's helped it become popular again (more popular than it ever was, maybe?). Or perhaps they, like me (and you, nearly), played when younger and got back again it when they had disposable income. At a recent tournament I attended, most of…

My experience is pretty similar to yours, except I did tournaments occasionally in middle school (I'm now 30). I went to one of the pre-release events a few weeks ago and was freaking the fuck out before I got there - I completely expected to be destroyed repeatedly by 12yos. After my first match, though, I loosened…

I was at a tournament in a small comic book shop a few weeks ago with over 100 players. They were expecting 35-40, so it was fucking packed and I was expecting the smell to be horrific. To my surprise and delight, there were a couple of players who were ripe but they mostly seemed ok.

Are either of you playing 5e? If so, what do you think of it? I tried rolling up a character a while ago and…I don't know. I just couldn't finish the sheet.

I used to play in middle school but never really spent much money on it (I was more of a SWCCG guy) and consequently never had great cards or decks. It probably didn't help that I was like 13 and pretty dumb, at least compared to my current self. And even if I had been more into MtG, I never would have had the funds…

Hard to believe many people born after 2001 would remember 9/11.

Did he autograph it for you personally at a liquor store event?

Good lord…
