Well I guess I lied about being done looking through Magic bulk but that's ok. I knew that the cards I wanted to pull out weren't in the bulk boxes in the bin, which are the annoying ones to get to. I kinda wanna build Mono-Green Tron in Modern. I'm not sure if I wanna play Yawg more, the deck has changed a lot and I'm not entierly sure if I still enjoy it. The MH3 spoilers (I've been avoiding the leaks) honestly have me a bit excited regarding Tron decks? I ordered some Eldrazi Temples with some of the money I got from selling cards but Green Tron is the "meta" version right now so that's the one I'm thinking of. But I'm also going to wait until after the next scheduled B&R update, which I think should be next Monday, before I pull the trigger on buying anything. Considering MH3 is in early June I don't expect any changes? Honestly I should probably wait until after MH3 but it's honestly safer to buy into the deck now considering it's mostly really cheap (only The One Ring is expensive, but that's also a $60 card; $80 if you're not buying the (foil only) bundle promo. After that, the most expensive cards are the $35 Boseiju, the $25 Ugin, and the $20 BFZ Ulamog), and if all the cards in it spike then it won't be mostly really cheap anymore. Idk I still feel like I'm overspending, especially since I've spent money on the Arknights event.
Speaking of, my Arknights pulls were fine. I got Virtuosa in 60 pulls, which is relatively quick but not notably so. I honestly got her to max level right away, I do think she's a real fun operator. I have also bought the guarenteed 6* recruit thing, planning on taking Ebenholz with it but I'm not sure yet. The event mechanic seems ok, honestly not super interesting though? It's only active during certain points in this timer, and once the time runs out it doesn't loop or anything. Idk it seems a little too straightforward, there isn't a bunch of mixing of the two "moods" enemies have yet. I'm glossing over it because this diary entry is already super fucking long but maybe I'll go into more detail tomorrow?
