Well - I'm still on Twitter because of government presence(BoM for weather alerts, QPS for police alerts). But being on twitter isn't bad if you steer clear of the algorithm's "for you" tab.

That's not the kind of 'three' I'm looking for. That's still a single way of describing things, not a duality.

Well - I suspect I'm not a competent arena player, although I am experienced. I haven't worked out mana yet, and I'm only playing mono black. I suspect drafting is beyond my abilities, from what you say there is no 'end to end' practice available.
