on the dissertation grind
Good evening. It has been a bit since my last post, since somehow I forgot to make one in January. It's alright though, not too much has been happening in my life, really. I'll update you on what exciting things there are, though.
I have been working a lot on my latest Magic The Gathering deck, this time centered around Hashaton, Scarab's Fist. I love Esper colours, zombies, looters, and instant speed interaction, so Hashaton seemed like a natural fit for me. It has been a very fun deck list to work on so far. I'm particularly happy with my Wizardcycling package which is stuffed with technology. If you're interested, you can find the decklist in the card gallery.
Aetherdrift as a whole has been quite fun. I think it's a cool set, especially if you like artifacts. I don't much care for the vehicle synergies but I'm sure it makes for an entertaining limited environment. Plus, I am pleased to see a new printing of Gonti. Their new card seems exceptionally fun, and, when I get a chance, I will be building them. Yet another mono-black commander for the backlog...
Also, behold my latest bake! 'Tis a simple chocolate cake, but it is quite lovely. Lots of cocoa powder to make for a lovely rich taste.
Beyond this, not too much is happening in my life. The most important thing is survival. My dissertation project has been eating up too much of my time, really. So I've not had that much time for whimsical outings. When I next do go on one, though, I shall definitely make another post to the good old log. Until then!
