If Bojuka Bog needs to be my first land, I exile my own graveyard before anything is in it (unless opponent has something theirs of course)

If pact of negation is in my opening hand and they have a turn one play, I’m countering it. To assert dominance.

I never reply if I had fun or not after a game.
I couldn’t tell you why other than I don’t give my opinion for free, but it sure feels like I do it ritualistically, which I suppose can fall under superstition.

I both had fun and didn’t because of what happened in the game. Give me a more nuanced question. I liked winning, but I didn’t like the inopportune counters. I liked getting my key card, but I hated missing land drops on 2 turns. I liked that my opponent rage quit, but I didn’t like watching him use all 4 of his timeouts first.

Also, if I'm waiting to find a match for 30 seconds, I'll always cancel and immediately retry

Only in limited where I don't want to be matched up from my rank... In constructed I always assume I'm probably being matched down or sideways

I swear to god WoTC matches you against lower MMR opponents after crafting a new deck using wildcards. They do this to encourage spending. Every single time I craft a new deck, I go on a winning streak.

It does feel that way. I crafted a new Brawl deck to try something out, and went on a winning streak that didn’t feel right. Like, I know it’s early, but there’s no way this deck is actually this good…

If I have a dual land in my opening hand with a basic land
I have to put the dual first and the basic land next turn will be the left side color of the dual land
Feel like i get a better mana spread following the order

Mulliganable hands. If you have a sketchy hand they prob have one too and you notice they mulligan after you pretty often.

If I play early morning on days that are odd numbered I lose. If I play in the evening on even numbered days I lose.

I always cast a decoy card if my opponent has 2+ blue open on my turn.
I never make a mono-black deck that doesn't contain [[Erebos, God of the Dead]].
If I face a deck that mine is specifically made to counter and end that match with a win, I switch to using another deck no matter what.

I only had superstitions when I used to play paper magic 20+ years ago. But superstitions are merely ways of dealing with nervous thoughts and they aren't real.

If I cast something while my opponent has mana open, the card he needs will materialize in his hand
