Is anyone else getting physical injuries from having to play this much?

    I am nursing what feels like a slipped disc and the poor posture from being hunched over is pinching a nerve. In addition, running into a Koth deck with an Olivia + Akoum firebird combo while I cannot draw a card from 30% of my library to save myself as the AI builds 40 mana per turn caused me to rage like a gorilla smashing the desk with my fist. I fear more for the desk but I'm sure I will feel something tomorrow.

    Why this event so short? I can barely make the progression. I'm at 149/150 right now and I have 3 timers coming up around 11:00am. I'm ranked 34 in my bracket in Gold Tier. I might even proc a guaranteed rare despite only getting the minimum.

    Short? Another day of this and I'll need a visit to my local witch doctor.

    I'm not sure you can simultaneously complain that the event is too short and that you're getting repetitive motion injury.

    Aha! It depends on your profession. You see, I'm a software developer, so I already sit in front of the computer for 13+ hours a day and already suffer from a baseline repetitive strain.

    The point about the event being "short", is that I need to compress the same gameplay into half the time. Not to mention the matches are taking longer. So perhaps I should state that the event is "overly concentrated".

    My mind is numb from doing another event where the requirements are way too high for the secondary targets.

    Finally got the last of the progression awards - an EMC booster... and it turns out to be a booster sent from the heavens! TWO cards I didn't have in the same booster: Tree of Perdition and Selfless Spirit!
