Chat is horrific against Autumn. Keeping an eye on chat during their games, if I recognise any of you from my chat you are instabanned on my channel. Autumn is an inspiration to many, including me, and I won't stand by as that is unnecessarily challenged.

In somewhat unexpected news, it turns out my girlfriend and I are going to be having a baby next year. We are very excited and looking forward to busy days and sleepless nights. And no, we are not going to name it after your favourite Magic character.

Please stop trying to cause beef between myself and Matt Sporling. Given my status as a professional Magic player, I cannot be seen to be punching down on a non-professional.

I've been sitting at my computer for 4 years. Oliver is growing up while I'm playing Magic all day. I'm going to take a period off from streaming to spend some real time with him. Should be no longer than a week, but I will regret it later if I don't do it now. See you soon!

Had a good time taking Oliver to an early Halloween treasure hunt event where we had to find clues to help an alien get back in contact with his family. Of course we saved the day.

We need "Bullet" Arena formats with 10 minute clocks for the whole match. You have to look at what Chess has become and follow that lead. Would be great for streaming and for people with not a lot of time to play, and should also translate well to mobile.

RADHA, HEART OF KELD A new Gruul rare from M21. Check out her story as to how she became the master of the Keldon people. Any card that lets you play off the top of your deck is great, and Radha comes with a 3/3 pseudo-FS body. Thanks to @wizards_magic for this preview. #ad

Getting tired of being asked about money I make compared to others. Yes, I get a decent amount of viewers and yes a few people from MTG make more than me. My day is: I play video games and then get some money to spend on other things. Am I supposed to be complaining? 🤦‍♂️

Every time this comes up, I can't believe it. Intentional draws are a joke. Writing off the most interesting round of the whole Swiss portion just blows my mind. It's against the spirit of competition. From a viewer perspective, you lose a ton of value from most exciting round.

My mother raised me to never compare skill level at MTG of different people, and I have let everyone down. It's completely out of character for me, and I am embarrassed at what I have done. Hopefully the pro player community, the Einstein's of the 21st century, can forgive me.
