  1. Staples really, if anyone forgets to wash themselves they need to be severly woken up from whatever game related trance they are in.
    I say this whilst sitting amongst what can only be described as mountains of dirty washing though so prioritising what is important to you is a def plus (hygiene over tidyness for moi)

  2. Oh, this list is in no way by order of importance. Rather, what tumbled out of the yawning black of my cabesa in a desperate fit of deluded authority.

  3. I thought as much, no one would rank forcibly speaking to ones own family that high on a list of priorities surely

  4. I’m just sayin’: This is what Travvy do (you don’t gotsta!)

  5. I’d say to spend your time in between rounds scouting out opponents’ decks via the replay function, but perhaps I am missing the mark on the goal of this article :P

  6. @ Zage thats useless you can just use the round viewer to see what your opponent is playing right before you play. Don’t need to spend time watching them all. I showed how to do this in one of my videos if you would like an example.

  8. “to sustain his drowsy little body” was the phrase that made me laugh the hardest. I just imagined the hollowed-out eyes of a Holocaust victim frantically trying to scan through the MTGO classifieds, and all the sudden I realized I was attending to the image of ChrisKool.

  9. @KillerOwen: I found two articles from you on this site, one for draft and one for reanimator.
    In the Draft article none of the videos work (they ‘can’t be found’) and in the other one the videos did work, but I didn’t see any that gave me a hint as to where to look for your tips.

    Could you perhaps link me that video or tell me how to get to it? Because it sounds like a really nice way to save some time. Maybe if I do that I’ll finally have time to do some of the things on this list :P

    …one thing concerning the article…who takes a full bath between rounds?

  10. This article hits a little close to home, since right now my wife is out of town, and I’ve temporarily devolved into a sketchy bachelor as a result. I can’t help it.

  11. @ Zage: I went through my own videos and its at the beginning of the second round video. We just need to get an Admin or someone who can edit the site and relink the videos. That happened to a lot of the older videos when we transferred to a new site. Should be an easy fix. Hope that helps you!

  12. @Zage – I could easily take a bath between rounds if I took baths, but I often take showers between rounds and do grocery shopping and all kinds of other random stuff, which is a bit easier when you live in NYC and you only have to go 1/2 a block to get food, groceries, etc.

  14. Videos are fixed. Thanks for the info. Please enter any errors, bugs, oddities you find in our dedicated forum and we will try to fix everything as quick as we can. Cheers!

  15. I prefer to make beverage runs in between rounds, to ensure I don’t make too many logical plays over the course of the tournament.

    Some advice: be careful spending downtime to take naps… one of my buddies likes to enter DEs and then fall asleep.

  16. To answer the bath query: One can easily enjoy the bracing rapture of a bath, given ample time of course. Just play a deck that can turbo mosh your enemies, slip into your snake skin leotard, and immerse yourself in the waters that be!

    So did anyone think of something I missed? There has to be something!

  17. While you do mention food and some delicious goat milk I sometimes find myself experimenting different drink mixes. Of course I only do this towards the end of the day, but I have come up with some tasty liquids that I can only define as liquid ecstasy; however, I don’t know what ecstasy is like but I bet its addictive.

    As for what you missed Trav it’s hard to pinpoint since you can group many things under the To-Do list. I usually find myself outside mowing the lawn or doing some car maintenance after I take care of my OCD problem and tidy up my desk.

  18. @KillerOwen: I got to look at the vid now and that’s a really easy to use way of checking out the competition. Thanks for the awesome tip!

  19. Perhaps the all-encompassing “To-Do” category does eliminate the need for further grouping.

    (wait for it)

    Dang I’m good!
