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...

There isn't really anything that I could find that was strictly UW that would fit your power level. Those two suggestions were the only thing that I could see in a simple scryfall search that would be powerful enough without going into the esper shard. Although there is one card that I found...

I also had this problem when I first read it. This is the plus with playing on MTGO, as you can't play the card wrong. I was wondering why it didn't give me the option to top or bottom, then I reread the card and facepalmed myself. Also another card that I misread: Flame Sweep Did you know...

There has been a lot of disappointment about this set, but I went into prerelease pretty high in spirits, as core sets are usually fun to play sealed in that they focus highly on bombs and removal. With this in mind, my goal was to play 18 lands and always be on the draw. This seemed to work...

Core 2020 Type 4 Set Review Only one week and another review? I had some free time and thought I might try and do these reviews around prerelease time to make them more relevant. Also will give me some time to do some retro reviews and maybe some theory as well. I wasn't expecting much from this...

All the outlast lords I assume you already have: Abzan Battle Priest Abzan Falconer Ainok Bond-Kin Elite Scaleguard Some other +1/+1 counter good cards: Collective effort Daring Archaeologist Meadowboon Phantom Flock Selfless Squire Triumph of Gerrard Wall of Resurgence Other counters...

Modern Horizons Type 4 Set Review What is with all of these sets coming out so quickly... Don't have time to absorb everything in before the next set comes along. Modern Horizons looks pretty sweet. The power level is there and a lot of cool designs. Let's see what jumps out at me for Type 4...

Post is great and gives me some real insight into previous draft formats and how they functioned and what worked and didn't work. I just have a question in regards to how fixed all of this is. As I was trying to visualise this for Modern Horizons, as it is the newest set and they (wizards)...

Just wanted to pop in and say that Modern Horizons is shaking up pauper something fierce. Mainly due to this one insignificant rock: Arcum's Astrolabe Here is the current deck I am working on: Went 3-2 and 2-3 so far in leagues. Nothing too spectacular, but geez can this deck grind...

Ravnica Allegiance Type 4 Review So I did say that I would do more things for Type 4, so I decided the first thing I should do is a review of the new set for all the possibly playable Type 4 cards. Here we go! Flash Creatures Angel of Grace Frilled Mystic Spire Mangler Angel of Grace is...

I am looking to shift all my Type 4 stuff into its own thread as it feels different enough from what my other cubes are and what I post in that thread. Looking to mainly throw reviews in here on potential type 4 adds for new sets and maybe some theory. I just posted a War of the Spark...

War of the Spark Type 4 Set Review So I thought it was about time to do a review on WAR now that I can actually get the cards and see which ones fit well in my stack as well as potential cards for other peoples stacks as well. I have never been a big fan of Planeswalkers in my stack as they just...

Hey, nice to get a name shoutout. That is always cool. I can't believe you missed my Most Liked Post at the start of the year. It is always my favourite part of this forum and will always do it even if my interest waxes and wanes. I even mentioned about the dropoff in activity in that thread...

We can't do that, then we just up like Balduvian Trading Post. I'm happy enough with the level we have here. I haven't been game enough to go back there after the logarithmic cube gave me number crunching headache. I wonder if they will get any new users now that Mtgs is closing down?
