So what did people get for their "boosters opened" stat in their email? I apparently opened 224, which I think doesn't include drafting or sealed since I have a lot more than 224 rares.

Does untapped.gg's overlay not work in fullscreen mode or something?

Also I'm assuming if the ALT+[Q/W/U] buttons don't do anything either then it's probably not functioning properly, yeah?

Make sure to turn off all the other 50 overlays you've installed before untapped

293. Depending on how many games you played past your daily wins for gold you could have also gotten a bunch from that. I know there have been days where I get 2-3 extra rares just from that.

Are any ELD drafts going to be available tomorrow?

Probably just a Sealed list and then Traditional Draft on Sunday and Ranked Draft in two weeks. WAR replaces RNA, and then there's also the every card event replacing the 2020 stuff. I don't think either Constructed and Trad Constructed are going away, just refreshing for the rotation.

They sent out an email around midnight EDT with the subject "You have opened 641 booster packs!" or whatever your amount is. It contains stats on your games played, gold earned, etc, and promises a code for a fblthp avatar and card sleeve will show up within the next week.

I didn't get mine until an hour or two after people started talking about it, so I guess it's staggered.

It looks like they're giving away a Fblthp card sleeve / avatar to people too.

It's a ladder-based league, which seems interesting. You challenge individual players, arrange a time, and move up to take their spot if you win. This seems ... pretty heavyweight for a game of mtg? But it's probably convenient for someone that just wants some casual competition.

Depending on how competitive it ends up being, there could be a lot of fuckery at the end of the season as people try and maintain their in-the-playoffs position.

You should listen to the LR podcast set review and probably the Lords of Limited thing. LSV's set reviews are almost as a traditional riddled with errors, and just do not convey enough useful information.

Also the ladder does not reset today so you have a couple days with the new format if that tickles your fancy.

The Teferi who was a creature in Time Spiral was also very annoying right



Small Teferi's passive is taken from Time Spiral's Teferi.

Time Spiral's Teferi was like the best control finisher and went into decks like Pickles Lock or Mystical Teachings. It was 100% game over if they EoT flash in Teferi, so he wasn't as annoying because you just scoop when it's on the stack. Then Llorwyn came out and gave us Cryptic Command and it was an amazing time to be a control player, but people moved from Time Spiral cards because Llorwyn Faeries were so good. People complaining about small Teferi have maybe forgotten how miserable it was to play against older control decks.

Nah, control decks were better when then best card in the deck wasn’t draw, removal, and your best win condition at the same time. Teferi, Hero of Trash sucked major eggwater and lead to the laziest “24 removal spells, 10 planeswalkers” Control meta of my lifetime.
