I’ve been meaning to post another #Magic update…

Two Sundays ago, I had plans in the evening, so I could only play a single game, which I (surprisingly) won with my new #Dune deck (it played much better this time, but still suffered for the lack of flying defense).

Then, this past Sunday, I won the first game with my tribal Mutant Ninja Turtles deck (which still needs some tweaking, but held its own throughout), only to lose the next two games, both with my Avengers deck (which had been doing very well until this weekend).

Still, a win is a win. Tweaks will be made, and with any luck, the next game(s) will be even better.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So the way this works in my design/prototype is this. You fork my repo in the app, it clones it to your own forge, follows my instance and it’s repo for updates and ping my instance to indicate “you’ve forked me”. Then when you publish changes, I can see them by pulling your instance’s feed. It all works on the same plain text principles of Tstxt itself. The feeds are “pull”-based with push-based “pings” on things like “someone forked your repo”, “a new issue has been raised against your repo”, etc.
