My jaw hit the floor. Read more

I always seem to catch this post on Saturday morning while sitting in a Starbucks waiting for my coffee before heading out for my weekly grocery shopping trip. There’re are always winners and runner-ups that have me laughing out loud, and all the other Starbucks patrons giving me funny looks! Today was pretty much… Read more

Basically I have to buy in with real dollars every time I want to do one because people who have been playing for decades are generally better. I don’t like that bit. I would love to play some limited formats with my gold rather than gems. Read more
