I swear by Blackwing pencils.
Also, the ‘two minute rule’, which has really improved my life: “if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it.” I’ve got untreated attention issues and it’s very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn’t forget in the long run has been great for me.
I’ve been enjoying it, there’s still consistent players and a good variety of decks I’ve fought.
Though you will learn to groan when you see an Oblivion Gate, Midnight Burial, or Paarthurnax.
My personal gripe is that there are so many ways to destroy/silence creatures and not many full proof counters. I’ll have several turns of placing something down, it gets destroyed, repeat.
But I always play ranked and at the moment have an equipment based deck, and a deck built around creatures that deal damage. Hardly meta but with each I win about half the time and slowly climb the ranks.
Appreciate the feedback. Maybe I’ll pick it up again. I managed to grind my way to Legend rank before giving up.
