Both players start with an emblem that has Chains of Mephistopholes' oracle text, and once they hit five life are given a Teferi's Puzzle Box.

rijstafel is very bougie and worth doing with a large group, but not worth it with a small group. Fun time. Get some war, which is like poutine but with peanut sauce and mayonnaise instead of the gravy and cheese curds. also very good.

Rank 5, I was too busy for the legend grind and didn't want to try for top 64 like a lot of people were. Wild definitely felt bigger than usual, especially at 5-L. I really like Pirate Warrior from a meta design perspective - the strongest aggro deck in the format is a synergy deck full of...

Wild Freeze and 4-crab Standard Mid Hunter. I really like Renolock, Midrange Anyfin decks (including Secret Palafin) and had a great time with Combo Druid but of course that one was too good to last in Standard. I keep coming back to Freeze, though - the skill ceiling is enormous and even after...

Slower midrange decks. The format's critical turn is like 4-6 right now so you need a particular kind of build to play a seven-drop that doesn't have immediate impact. You'll see him in secret and flood paladin, quest priest, some reno builds, and non-beast mid hunter.

I'd expect it would be. Good ol' Theb is actually the least critical he's been in a while. There aren't really any major spell swing turns in the meta beyond 10-mana Kazakus potions and Anyfin Can Happen, and if you're able to safely drop him against aggro he might slow them down a half-turn...

Hey Jason, try this list a friend of mine brewed. It eschews most of the Miracle cards and Auctioneer turn in favour of more consistent early QA kills and it's very strong, certainly more capable than Miracle of standing up to pirate warrior. So far, I'm most impressed by the new cards given...

I think quest priest is not as strong as people think it will be, even in Wild. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, though. I'm very excited for Paladin, which picks up a few exciting tools. I think I'm going to start out by upgrading Flood Paladin (the list I took to Legend) with the new Silver...

Jesse Mason (killing a goldfish) wrote a top-five piece of writing adjacent to Magic culture (a topic of central interest that imo distinguishes us from the plebes, well, everywhere else) which I heartily encourage us all to (re-)read. Maro and the Creative Department's box-checking with minor...

Not only did you hit Legend, you hit top 100 legend! I made 453 this season. I'm very excited for the new set, some of these cards are going to be ludicrous. I'll probably post some of the more interesting or powerful builds my crew find or come up with a week or two after rotation.

I ran basic land box Crumbling Vestiges. It was good; people took 1-2 if they were playing Eldrazi and a small handful of times grabbed one even without eldrazi for when they switched colours late and ended up with really poor fixing. It wasn't overpowered.

I would get Rag.

I haven't drafted Cube in a while, so I'm excited to slam Gifts' high power cube. In lieu of making someone draft a cube I'm not currently maintaining, I'd like to request that whoever goes next try to draft something they're excited about from their own list and tell us why they're hyped for...

Reno Dragon Priest. Here's a friend's list.

from the sound of things he actually hasn't had that many stabs at it

Of course, you know, this means war

bad, quite solid against control, I dusted my golden copy because the only list that runs Beardo is a weird shadowform deck that doesn't work very well. With Raza I think either Saraad or Paletress are defensible.

I love Ysera, but she's just much too slow for the meta unless you're really ramping into her. Have you thought about crafting N'Zoth and having the ability to port your decks, come rotation, into Wild reno lists? Renolock is quite strong and I personally can't say enough good things about the...
