{"ops":[{"insert":"Hi, I’m Sascha. I enjoy Magic the Gathering most when a deck becomes more than just a pile of good cards — when an idea starts to work, interactions emerge, and suddenly the whole thing feels alive.\nThat is probably also why Magic fascinates me so much as an IT architect.\n\nA well done Commander deck is an astonishingly complex little system: probability, resources, sequencing, dependencies, redundancy, timing, interaction, risk and human decisions constantly influence one another. Change a single card and sometimes the behaviour of the whole deck changes with it.\n\nOr, as Spock might say:\nFascinating. 🖖\n\nI enjoy understanding why a deck works, making its strategy visible, testing assumptions and improving it without optimizing away the original idea that made the deck interesting in the first place.\n\nThat is also why my decks may contain a suspicious number of categories, metrics and explanations. 😉\n\nThere is a connection to my work and to "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://rock-the-prototype.com/"},"insert":"Rock the Prototype"},{"insert":" as well. The underlying idea is surprisingly similar: bring people, capabilities and meaningful ideas and solutions together, build something relevant, learn from reality and make the reasoning and the results understandable.\n\nMagic gives us a wonderfully playful environment for exactly that kind of thinking — only with considerably more dragons, squirrels and unexpected board wipes.\nI’m here to learn, experiment, play good games and meet real people who enjoy why this whole fantastic universe of endless cards, people, artwork, IP and all of you works so well...\n"}]}
