Ok cool! I figured I was missing something. Thanks for the suggestion :^)

I don’t know Bruce Sterling, so I read a few of the articles. Is it a scifi blog? It seems more like a general art and writer sort of thing? I might have not scrolled down far enough.

I think its great they are promoting Lemmy but I think the notes are unneeded. Tell people Lemmy is great, give them a recommended instance to sign up on, and stop selling. They can learn about the rest after theyve gotten their lemmylegs underneath them.

Give them 5 extra paragraphs of caveats and people will think they are more confused than they are. I ended up on squabbles for two months after the reddit exodus because everytime Lemmy was brought up it was with a massive text wall or that one infocomic. Its free, theres no ads, and no one person owns it - thats really all you need to know to get started.

Is there a link to the video? My device isnt loading any in the article.

Youtube video of Rocky Stoutenburgh, the player mentioned in the article, going over how he uses the controller.

I’ll echo the other poster and say you should look into podcasts/streamers and try to imitate what you see them doing. Definitely what helped me the most when I was learning.

I would also say head over to a local game store that does draft nights if you can. I learned quite a bit from having other people look at my decks after a match, often getting advice and reconfiguring based on their input.

Finally I would say check out this article by Ben Stark. Some would say it is out of date but I think a lot of the mindset still applies and can get you thinking in the right way. You should check out his youtube as well, he hasn’t drafted since brother’s war but he talks about each pick he makes and why he made it. Can be very useful for learning what to look for as you put your draft deck together.

Good luck and have fun drafting! It is my favorite way to play mtg by far.

I liked the battle cards in draft, but I haven’t put any in my EDH decks. I think the ones that will end up being iconic haven’t been printed yet.

I’ve never played a monsters game but I am a huge DQ fan so I am very excited for this one. I wonder if you can catch big name bad guys like Zoma.
