Frequent readers will be familiar with my love of Magic: The Gathering. But I’ve recently been playing the Pokémon TCG. And, for your entertainment, I’ll dispense some of my initial impressions of the game.

Mythic Deck Tech: Izzet Phoenix (56% Winrate): Part 2
Ready to see why I picked the cards I did for this Mythic rank deck? Well, let’s go!
Mythic Deck Tech: Izzet Phoenix (56% Winrate): Part 1
Any time I make Mythic, I want to share with you the deck that got me there. This time, however, it’ll double as a deck tech for how to play one of the most powerful and well-known decks in Bof1 Historic.
Loki: Marvel’s Master Stroke
Loki is the best thing that Marvel has made since perhaps The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. I’ve yet to see the latest Spiderman, so there’s that gap, but the quality of this show is not to be underestimated.
Jupiter’s Legacy: A Bafflingly Bad Superhero Show
I’ll admit I took three or four days to finish my three-episode watch of Jupiter’s Legacy. This was partially due to scheduling issues, but also because this is one of the most uneven, disjointed, awkward superhero series I’ve ever had the displeasure of slogging through.
Shadow and Bone: The New Benchmark
It was hard not to be aware of the release of Shadow and Bone. I haven’t read the books, but from watching the faint three episodes I do for these reviews, I can see why it was chosen for adaptation.
The Magnus Archives: A Steady Stream of Cosmic Horror
I slept on The Magnus Archives for far too long, considering how much praise I was exposed to beforehand.
DOTA: Dragon’s Blood: Incomprehensible Epic Fantasy
Cards on the table, I went into this show to see what a layman might get out of a DOTA series. I don’t know the games or the lore. I had almost no idea what DOTA: Dragon’s Blood would be like.
The Irregulars: Strong Premise, Terrible Show
I want to be kinder to The Irregulars. The premise of the show is so cool, the ideas off the wall, but the execution is always the crux—and it’s just not there. I appreciate the colorblind casting and the attempts to be unique in its subject matter. That’s refreshing. I just wish the surrounding show was better.
Vampires In 2021: A Defense of Recent Vampire Fiction
In defending the modern concept of a vampire, you might assume that I’m defending the Twilight series or other trashy books in the paranormal romance genre. I am not.
Trailer Review: Raya and The Last Dragon
I’m late to the party for the Raya and the Last Dragon trailer. The newest Disney Princess movie is coming out in only a few days.
Kid Cosmic: Well-Worn Premise Skillfully Done
Kid Cosmic seems like the natural offspring of a few shows, and a few pieces of very prominent media.
