A bit late to the party, but did anyone notice that we got a new mascot? Riptide Turtle

The MTGO Pauper Championship Well boys and girls, last Monday I got to wake up at 4am and play pauper in the hope of getting some free packs. Over the past week I had been meta gaming the data and tried to figure out was the best deck to play was. Here is my spreadsheet (I posted it in the...

Trainmaster probably has the same issue as me; takes like 24 hours to write an in-depth post. Keep it in the preview window, leave it up overnight so you can think clearer (save it in a text file incase the window dies). Onder has never been one to incite malice, hence the smiley face in his...

I've always been a big fan of: Thrashing Wumpus in the Penny Pincher Cube. It gives that potential of a board sweeper and win condition in a single card that is easy enough to remove for the opponent. Pestilence doesn't usually do much the turn it comes down and it decently hard to interact...

Heck, even the card game itself they had an issue with last year: Oko, Thief of Crowns Once Upon a Time They have changed their product a lot in the last couple of years, they are riding this Arena train pretty strong. I know you need to introduce new players to your game, but don't leave...

You already have in your cube: Stromkirk Occultist How has it been working out for you? I feel like the Ravager is definitely stronger, as drawing a potential 3 cards a turn seems insane. I would at least give it a test, it looks really fun to play.

Just noting that we have gone from 3 to 1. Was there a need for 3 in the first place? You seem to be managing things enough by yourself.

Why not just invest 2 mana have have it gone forever? Pacifism

Posts Per User in 2019 Looks like there was another increase in posts this year. Almost the same increase as the year before, roughly 700. Four of the top six posters are the same as last year, with Onderzeeboot and Velrun maintaining their positions at 1st and 2nd respectively. Ravnic drops...

A new year means looking at back as what has been. Let's do this. Last year there was 25 posts with 9+ likes, so we will count them down. No honorable mentions this time. There was 23 posts with 8 likes, I can do that list if people are curious. All the same liked posts will be put in...

I got to do 4 Mystery Booster drafts at GP Brisbane, I posted 3 of my decks on my cube blog. Format is really sweet and there is a lot of value to be had, as no one really knows what the playtest cards are actually worth.

Magicfest Brisbane 2019 I like how as soon as I got back from Magicfest Brisbane, the first thing I post here is something I did like 6 months ago. I guess I am like 5 months ahead now! Anyway, Magicfest Brisbane was on a couple of weekends ago and I wanted to do my usual little (it is never...

There is also the cost factor of just waiting until they rotate out of standard so you can pick them up at a reasonable cost. I've been on the hunt for a Rekindling Phoenix and Carnage Tyrant now that they are less than 50% what they were a year ago. I guess there is some plus sides for...

I think product fatigue is going to hit Magic pretty soon, if it hasn't already. The amount of sets, ancillary products and just new cards was something that we haven't had to deal with before. You think it is hard to keep up with, to update your card with the ones from the newest set...

MTGO Pauper Playoffs So, my grinding on MtGO actually paid off, and I didn't realise that until earlier this week. I qualified for the pauper format playoff. This means I have a chance to play against 39 others for a chance to be named pauper champion. The champion also gets flown out to...

I mean it was their first attempt at a cube. It had more cohesion than a pile of cards thrown in a box as you could see the outline of archetypes throughout the drafting process (UB Mill, GW Counters, WR First Strike, etc.). I made a joke at the start of the draft looking at my opening pack...

Long time no cube draft. Had a player from my LGS ask if anyone wanted to draft his cube, so being the cube draft enthusiast that I am, I decided to organise a draft at my house. We only got 7 people, so not the whole 360 got used, and he didn't have a list posted anywhere for us to get an...

Throne of Eldraine Type 4 Set Review Man, I left this one for a while. Just been busy grinding drafts and pioneer on MtGO. I feel it is getting on the border of obsessive, so I am taking a break until MagicFest Brisbane. May as well upgrade my stack in the time being. Flash/Haste Creatures...

So I did a couple of pre-releases and went 3-0 both times. Don't know if I am just lucky or if this set likes me. When you open a pile of on colour aggressive rares you put them all together and hope for the best. Curving Worthy Knight into Acclaimed Contender is just gross. This deck also...

This card has broken pauper (in a good-ish way). It has allowed 3 colour decks to actually stand a chance in the format now. I am quite a big fan of the astrolabe, and I believe that wizards wouldn't be able to print this at {1} as it is just too efficient at fixing when it replaces itself. If...
