↳ In-reply-to » My first Halloween one-shot of 2026 is in-the-bag (as of about 90 minutes ago).

I (mostly) completed my second Halloween one-shot for 2026 earlier today. It went much quicker than last night’s game, but we had to cut it short due to a scheduling conflict, so there’s another 1-3 hours session probably still to go (and 🤞 we’ll get to finish it).

Both sessions were alot of fun, and really rekindled my interest in role-gaming. I hope to get back to regular campaign play after the new year, and I’ve already been bouncing some ideas off of some of my heavy players.

#Magic Update: This week, our Magic time was up against the local team’s Sportsball game, so we only had 4 players to start. I decided to try out a brand new deck, a lightly modified version of the new Jace, Multiverse Architect preconstructed deck that I picked up from my FLGS a few days ago, and let me tell you, that deck dominated, with everyone else quitting around the 90 minute mark. I know much of it was luck (especially in the early game), but it was so much fun to play, I look forward to breaking it out again… in a few weeks. 😁

By the time the second game started, the local team had won their Sportsball game (yay, sports team!), so it was one of our usual 5-player affairs. This time, I played my old-school Defenders of the Mirth deck, and it held up long enough for all but one other player to quit, and then I killed on my next turn with a truckload of unblockable commander damage at about the 2 hour mark. That put me at a rare 2/2 overall for the day. Good times! 🤘
