Hola ARG Magic community, with my competitive play results beings less than stellar there’s no real reason to bore anyone with the fabled 2-2 drop kind of article. Cause let’s face it, a 2-2 drop is just an article about side events or theory crafting based off the hows and whys of what could have been if matchups were different or if you didn’t mull to 5 in that one game.
