So we're getting:
MH3 spoilers
MH3 Commander spoilers
Assassin's Creed spoilers
Cowboy land spoilers
Bloomburrow spoilers
Like, 2 days after we just got Fallout spoilers.
Can we pump the fucking brakes? Please?

My brother in Christ, y'all are playing for money.
Quit asking ridiculous questions like "Are you going to win?" and be surprised when you receive a ridiculous response.
It's part of the game for you to figure it out.

Correct me if I’m wrong:
In the Timeless format, I can put Dark Ritual, Tendrils of Agony and Brainstorm in the same deck.
While also not having to worry about my opponent having Flusterstorm, Force of Will, Force of Negation or Daze?

WOOOOO ANOTHER SHOWCASE TOP 8.
JUST KEEP PUTTING THE GOOD ONES IN THE DECK.
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR ALL OF THE GOOD ONES? JUST JAM YORION IN THE DECK TOO.
YORION SHADOW C-TIER MEME DECK?? OR Z-TIER CHAD DECK?
80 CARDS BTW.
@fireshoes
WE MADE TOP 8 TODAY IN THE SHOWCASE AND ENDED 3RD!!!! GOT MY INVITE FOR END OF THE SEASON.
MONTHS AND MONTHS OF WORK FINALLY PAID OFF.
JUST PUT THE MH2 CARDS IN YOUR DECK ALREADY.

Casual-competitive players learning that "are you going to win?" is a ridiculous question to ask someone putting a spell on the stack.
Figure it out yourself.
Spitball sideboard map for Stalker Shadow after about 80ish matches. Only some of the MUs are concrete, still needs more testing though - Doomsday and Storm in particular.

I love that friends on the east coast will be like "yeah I went to 4 Legacy $1ks last month, a modern/legacy/vintage team trios, and won a R1 Bye to a $500 entry Vintage tournament" and in PDX the Big Gamestore can only schedule a Legacy $1k on a holiday, once a year.
Played a Modern RCQ today.
I was disappointed by how some of the players interacted with each other, the staff and the tournament overall. It costs nothing to be a decent person, and not insufferable + inconsiderate of others.
Have rarely had that issue with Legacy players. Jfc.
@CorgiHammer
Too late I already scooped the game after they resolved a Russian foil alter Trading Post that features two busty anime women smooching in front of an Arby’s.
Y'all, I was planning on going 0-3 today. Bubbling in 9th against some of the best that Legacy has to offer is good enough for me - and there's going to be HELLA VOD review material, Tuesday's stream. Making it here has been an absolute journey.
Thank you for all of the support.
I'm struggling with playing Magic right now. I have identified that I am losing games because I keep making hasty decisions, but I can't stop.
It's so damn upsetting seeing everything fall apart every, single, game because of one small incorrect decision due to playing fast.
FLAWLESS RUN AT ZULU’S CAFE LEGACY $1k YEEHAW.
Picked up a scrubland to boot!

The Monday BNR should be interesting. My wishlist is for Legacy but I could see:
Standard - No changes
Pioneer - Amalia (tournament play considerations)
Modern - Violent Outburst (??)
Legacy - Sticker Goblin + Grief
Vintage - Saga/Lurrus (please don't, but can see it)
GRAB THIS LIST AND FARM TIX/FNM STORE CREDIT FAST!!!!

NEW SB GUIDE FOR SHOWCASE BUILD.
FOR FREE.
DO NOT PAY FOR IT.
Map assumes:
1. You're on the play.
2. Generic deck lists.
I am open to discussion on this.
If you're a Legacy player and you stream, drop your link in the comment section below with:
- Day/Time/Time Zone you stream
- Deck(s) that you mostly play
I want to make a spreadsheet that I can link on my stream + here for other folks to check out to learn about Legacy.
I think we can all handshake on the Creative Technique decks realizing they can actually start going off on turn 2 instead of turn 3 with Tibalt's Trickery is the worst development in Legacy in recent memory.
397 REVEALED CARDS ☠️😂
I'm baffled that some of the people in the comments think that I hate Magic given that I enjoy streaming Magic, writing about Magic, making Magic decks, talking about Magic, writing Magic SB guides, travelling for Magic and being thankful for the friends I've made via Magic.

R2 MUD Forge 2-0
R3 Cloudpost 2-0

Current Legacy meta thoughts:
- Midrange-Combo is really powerful
- Surgical Extraction is the worst its ever been
- You should cast Brainstorm more proactively and dig for more pressure
- You should hardly ever cut all of the Force of Wills, even against Delver

Content Creator Program! I think any Legacy player who’s been around can attest to how fantastic it is to have Curran in our community and how well he represents us. 👑
(In Legacy) If Orcish Bowmasters bites the dust next week, I really think they need to watch Up the Beanstalk or co-ban it.
Insert “waiting for MH3 before bans” as well.
One of my best friends who I met through Magic had been missing for 6 months. I learned last Friday that he had lost his life.
He taught me most of the things I know about Magic.
He was a fantastic friend outside of it.
I miss you a lot David.
I haven’t been ok.
5-2 in today's challenge with this list that came to me in a vision.
1 Forge 1-2
2 DNT 2-0
3 UB scam 2-1
4 UB scam 2-0
5 Sphere Lands 2-0
6 Grixis Delver 2-0
7 Forge 1-2
Both losses to Forge were because I interacted with the wrong things out of playing fast.

It’s very frustrating to read “we’re keeping an eye on Grief” for Legacy in multiple BNRs without much other discussion.
The challenge data shows things aren’t great and haven’t been great for a while now.
I believe it’s time to explore other decks, and to keep Shadow as my pocket pick for when the meta is right.
The only way forward on the deck is to learn other decks and to be able to be a step ahead of others in its construction for events.
It’ll always be my baby.
I normally feel self-conscious about my Magic play + opinions. MXP Tacoma helped self-affirm that I can walk-the-walk.
I want to compete at the PT one of these days.
So I think I'm going to start grinding Pioneer, learn how to draft and begin my PT journey.
Hey everyone! I decided to make my Shadow SB Map public on Patreon! Please come and check it out. I'll be publishing regularly again now that work has cooled off. Thanks for the support. ♥️
It’s kinda tiring to hear about a Frog ban given that folks were very vocal about a Bowmaster ban for the first half of this year, and now it’s on no one’s radar.
Grief’s gotta go - that’s a certainty.
Can we let stuff settle for a bit?
Couple of deck lists I'm very excited about:
Black Saga Scam - Tweaked it from a list I saw a couple days ago to improve the mana + sideboard.
Frogstrap - Updated Stalker list with Psychic Frog and MH3 goodies.
Waiting on building Shadow until I see how the meta shakes out.
Ah not even close. 😆

This is the 60 card list I'd play if I was not playing YOS.
This is where
@mindbreaktrap
has ended up after working from Javier's list in the Showcase Qualifier.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Death's Shadow. The gameplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical lifetotals most of the lines will go over a typical player's head.

Today, I am 11 years clean of Oxy. I like to celebrate by posting a photo of myself so I can remind myself how happy March 14th makes me. Here’s this year’s photo.
“Stop tracking your match up results” is probably the best way of staying sane in Magic. Stop basing your successes and failures off of leagues. The leagues are there for:
1. Fun
2. Working on fundamentals/gameplay
3. Vibe checking your list
4. Fun
@revenantkioku
Once you do this a bit, the hope is that when you play a “regular” league, you’ll feel relieved that you finally get to win sometimes instead of anxious that you might lose.
Also, if you’re tracking your match results anywhere, stop doing that (permanently).
What a run today in the challenge! My first online top 8!
R1 - W Hammer - 2-1
R2 - Reanimator - 2-1
R3 - Punishing Maverick - 2-0
R4 - UR Delver - 2-1
R5 - G Post - 2-0
R6 - G Post - 0-2
R7 - Reanimator - 1-2
Q - Reanimator - 2-0
S - BUG Doomsday - 1-2

Ban: Sticker Goblin.
Do not ban: Ancient Tomb.
Also no more supplemental sets that weren’t specifically designed for eternal formats.

Day 2 of learning Vintage: "I thought this format was purely about throwing gasoline at a wall and lighting it on fire - wdym I have to think about the lines?"
It warms me to see Shadow in the upper tier of decks. It wasn't long ago that people were dumping on the deck and trying to convince me that Snuff Out was unplayable. If Initiative and Delver are Tier 0, Shadow is Tier 1 and I'll do my best to keep it that way.
Vintage is an easy format to understand when you accept that everyone is playing some flavor of highly interactive Reanimator and that the wrong pass of priority can mean immediate death.
