I care too much about cardboard. Big fan of limited, medium-sized fan of constructed.

Good: I opened a Sephiroth in my pre-release pool Bad: I did not draw it once all 3 rounds

Niceeeee

I went 3-4 in my first Regional Championship with Gruul Mice and some Cutter spice. Had a blast!

Fuck your zodiac sign, which Dragon Shield dragon are you?

Preparing for the upcoming RC in Canada has turned me into a guy who checks MTGTop8 everyday instead of 17Lands. You either die the hero or live long enough to become the villain.

Finally became one of the cool kids and tried the 5-color dragons TDM draft deck. It was a lot of fun, but went 1-2. All close games though.

Owning 4 Cori-Steel Cutters would fix me...

0-3 in my first paper draft of TDM. I slammed Eshki first pick which caused me to ignore some pretty clear black signals. I was hoping another bomb or two would come my way, but my top end sort of fizzled out.

It's always a blessing to have Patrick Sullivan on commentary. He's cracking me up during the semifinals of the Spotlight Series.

🏆 Third TDM draft and my first trophy of the format. Mobilize tokens with Shocking Sharpshooter and Venerated Stormsinger got the job done nicely.

It's New MTG Set Eve, so don't forget to say goodbye to all the tokens who served you well during the last set. Thank you for your service 🫡

NO BANS IN STANDARD! I was panicking that I wouldn't be able to play the only deck I have some reps with at the upcoming RC. Gruul Mice or bust! 🐭

Baseball season has started and a new MTG set is releasing soon. My life is being consumed by fantasy drafts. (ba dum tss)

Dangerous #MTG

Too many people talking about Spongebob Counterspell and Toxrill, not enough people talking about how the lands are kind of gorgeous?

Made it to the draft portion and top 4! We're going to the Canadian RC baby! Now I have to build a deck/play standard 🥲

Playing in my first RCQ today! Praying for a good sealed pool 🤞

I really hope we get some cool guest art from comic artists for the MTG Spider-Man set. My short list of hopefuls: -Alex Ross -Ryan Ottley -Todd McFarlane -J. Scott Campbell

I, for one, welcome our new overlords.

I've really come full circle (pun intended?) on Aetherdrift. If you dislike the set because of its flavor or constructed viability, I strongly recommend giving a booster draft a shot!

🏆 3-0 in my fifth Aetherdrift draft. Terrian + trample from Oviya = you're dead

Me, patiently waiting for MTG to reveal some FFIX cards (more specifically: Freya)

Sol Ring prototype. I think I'll offer it in a few color palettes. #mtg #magicthegathering #pixelart #art #space

🏆 7-2 deck from my second Aetherdrift draft. Maximum Overdrive was probably the MVP here, it gave me so many blowouts against multiple blockers. #MTG #MagicTheGathering

My gut reaction on the Commander Brackets is that 1 and 2 could be merged, the differences between them seem almost irrelevant for most scenarios. I like the idea of the "Game Changers" list though.

I really love this piece of art from the Aetherdrift prerelease box. Great colors, great action, great sense of speed. Chandra and the goblin feel cartoony without sacrificing the realism mandate that a lot of current Magic art seems to have. It really draws me into this fantasy world. Great stuff!

I'm watching the Big Game*! *Paul Cheon draft videos on YouTube

This could just be a sealed vs draft thing, but my prerelease takeaway was that Aetherdrift seems like a rather slow format in an unfun way. I might warm up to the draft environment but I'm not confident in the vehicle-heavy focus at the moment.
