Deck building is hard. Building "good" decks with "bad" cards is somewhat harder. Sometimes that "bad" card is the commander.

I started playing Magic again.

The early days of Magic are "notorious" for the awful creatures present in the game.

2023 was, by many metrics, my least musical year. Across the board the numbers are glaring. Fewest new artists, genres, scrobbles, and raw minutes. Once again dominated by Boards of Canada and Lana Del Rey. Historically those two groups have made up the bulk of my listening during my professional career. It's easy to put either one on and git a massive amount of work done. Even so, we're looking at historic lows even for BoC.

Last time we had an introduction to Fornax loaders and generators. Today we're going to build a custom loader and generator using an external REST API.
