Just say hi.

Joined 5 years ago, almost to the day.

Seems about right.

Do I have the ending song of a 40 year old musical on repeat as I finish my new 99 Problems article I looked up for a single joke?

Yes, yes I do.

Good news:
I learned how to card template non-Magic cards for playtesting. I love MSE, but it's not good for actual data analysis. I'm clearly not up to templating for something like MSE anyway, but I need something to print out for cards.
Excel + Publisher.
So, go me.

I submitted my new 99 Problems piece. It talks about the upcoming rotation and which cards might be beneficial for you to pick up financially.

I was going to spoof the Sarah McGlachlan Pets ad with the song "Angel" (In the arms of an Angel...) but I figured that might be in bad taste to people who love animals and whatnot. I love them too, but it's a serious thing and I don't want to be a jerk.

So instead I tied it in with a movie about abandoning a kid in the woods.

So a win/win, right?

New 99 Problems goes up tomorrow (hopefully). I take a look at the PAX Panel with the #MTGGRN mechanics and what they mean for Commander.

As for tonight, working on my office. It's getting better and better. School starts this week for the kids so we'll see the sleeping schedules play out soon. Looking at times to stream in a few weeks.

So I have a MTGCP shirt for pax (as seen on my twitter account), but I looked into getting a hat.

A custom hat is crazy expensive. Now I know why people do shirts all of the time.

Article 02 of 99 Problems won't have a movie tie in (nothing that I could find that fits naturally), but I see some aspects from the first piece that I'm continuing as well.
One of those is the fake "title sequence" with song.
You'll get the song here first with one of my favorite videos online:

This also means I have to watch 27 Dresses and not go by Movies with Mikey's awesome Deep Dive:

Working on my next #CMDR piece for Cool Stuff Inc. I think I'm going to keep tying in the movie thing while I'm at it I was looking to do it with movies I owned but I hit a snag.
I'm going to be talking about the 33 CMDR decks I own/building. If I went with movies I own, then I could make some analogy to Infinity War. If it's movies my wife "owns" (I have the DVD in my library, but it's not mine), it's 27 Dresses.
Truly, this is Problem 1 of 99 Problems.
So my new article on Cool Stuff Inc went up this morning. It's my true return to writing about Commander.
One thing I'm most proud about is taking back the 99 Problems name.
