Thanks for the tip! I went ahead and downloaded it and it actually grabbed all the details of my latest draft / deck and I have linked them below. Just some context though this is the second Premium draft I have ever done so I know I probably made a lot of dumb decisions drafting. But I want to get better so would appreciate any advice.

it was incredibly risky and stupid, but it's entirely possible he was already infected but had a negative test before the viral load reached detectable levels. that's one of the problems with COVID, it's contagious period is before it's symptomatic. so yeah if you were unvaxxed at the GP, you've been exposed and should isolate.

The negative covid test wiggle room is loving bullshit. Very sick of this nonsense.

That makes sense. I'll admit I'm not too up on the precise mechanics of testing because I had to stop following a lot of covid news for the sake of my brain

Were they demanding a properly done negative test, or was it the self-adminstered thing where you can just lie and say you did it (or do it honestly but not stick the thing far enough up your nose)?

But he's right!
For what it's worth, "Negative test from qualified source" is basically what a lot of large-scale events are doing. It's pretty standard.

and it's still complete trash. double vaxx or don't go, only exception is if you have a government accepted medical exemption. but I'm a Canadian and the handling in the US is pretty different.

Weirdly the opposite; my first and second dose were basically fine, then the booster knocked me out of commission for a day.

Numbers from large concerts and whatnot have been showing that the rates are very low in events like this that require proof of vax or negative test (the negative test part is dogshit and I wish it wasn't there, but it is), fortunately. There were "only" 203 confirmed cases, with 0 hospitalizations out of 385,000~ people who attended Lollapalooza a couple of months ago.

The "only" is the part that comes down to personal decision though. It's a low risk, but the risk is still there. It would be even less if it was only vaxxed.

iirc indoor gatherings do not have a significant increase in risk over outdoor gatherings if sufficient hygienic practices are followed. This being Nevada, I don't really have a strong faith in that.

This is totally playable imo. It can do well against two of the most popular builds in the format (Pfizer aggro and Moderna aggro mono builds).
