Although I regret to say I totally flaked out on the total card pool- someting I don't intend to do this year- keeping a running one in this first post.
I'm also upping things a bit, so to speak. This year- I took advantage of my LGS's offer to do a mix and match booster box, and got 36 packs- 6 from each of the Standard sets and 6 more from Conspiracy. That means I have to start exactly 5 weeks before Christmas (35 days + Christmas day), which, incidentally is today.
Good thing too- I got lights up already.
Lets hope I get a way better haul than I ddid last year!
Oh one more thing- unlike last year, where I just cycled through the sets five times, this time I'm doing them in a random order, courtesy of my friend Mr. Six Sided.
Ugh, I still remember back when I worked in fast food. Today ("Black Wednesday") was always the busiest freaking day of the year. Thoughts and prayers to anyone who has to deal with the travel rush

Fun. I played against a deck at FNM where the whole idea was to play Lupine Prototype, then empty the hand as quick as possible with cheap werewolf spells. When it worked, it was pretty spectacular to watch. If I hadn't topdecked a beautiful Declaration in Stone in game 3, I'd have lost.
2 1/2 inches of rain on thanksgiving. Yuck. Anyways, happy Black Friday everyone! The Christmas season is officially here! And thoughts and prayers if you work in retail.
Also Apple Cup day. Only the biggest ever. Go Huskies!

Could you put the rare cards on top of each list? So instead of doing C / U / R in each color I would type them R / U / C. Additionally, I would put the Commons in an additional subspoiler tag, so you basically see al the rares and uncommons instantly, and our screen doesn't get spammed with commons.

Good luck!
Sure!
I didn't even know you could do subspoilers. Thanks for the info.
Ya know, I was thinking of aping this idea this year if you weren't going to do it again. I do dig it though. Nice Gideon, too. Last year was almost a complete bust if I recall, despite still being fun.

Can you name all of the creature types with at least 20 cards? Try my Sporcle Quiz! Last Updated: 6/29/20 (Core Set 2021).
Last year, I bought 25 booster packs (five from each standard set) and numbered them 1-25, opened one up each day in December as we counted down towards Christmas.

Tree's up, so I'm pretty much done decorating at this point. Feels good to have it all out of the way.
Anyways, we're just burning through the newest set booster packs- just over a third of the way in and we have another one.
