@dominharvia @peter_husisian Had me stumped until I zoomed in on the graveyard - we can pact for Midnight Hunt draft banger Eccentric Farmer to get back Boseiju and channel it with the remaining one mana

In Vegas I entered the ~secret lair~ of ideas in the mirror vs chadly titan @peter_husisian and fumbled a unique WTP. Can you cast Titan this turn? Or stop this brute paying for his Pact?? (You have creatures costing G, 1G, 2G in deck)

@MrChecklistcard Sweet deck! A nice rotation send off for Nissa. Voldaren Thrillseeker might do well as a 1-slot Arena-friendly wincon, low clicks to deal the first ~30 or so damage and can still go infinite if that's not enough. Random Lumra fling kills without full combo are cute upside.

This way we get to not waste any space on wincons. Of course it doesn't work on Arena, so I made a different wincon version. Use Eden to get back Songcrafter Mage, give harmonize to Worldsoul's Rage and tap your huge Lumra to deal 20+ damage quickly! moxfield.com/decks/s-e1jE8r…

Aftermath Analyst is back! It's Johnny Thursday, and I bring you a deck that has gone through more refinement than my last ideas - this one can actually win games! Rydia makes the deck go completely bananas. Eden enables an infinite loop. Turn 4 kill. You gotta check this out!!

New prize structure? What's that? 7-0 6-1 with totally not underworld breach

@karsten_frank A copied spell "remembers" the additional/alternative costs associated with the original. Solitude will sac, and Overlord enters with time counters. There was some atypical wording on impend that would have led to some strange things, but the recent rules update normalized it.

Rules question: How does Taigam, Master Opportunist interact with specific alternative costs? For example, if I cast Overlord of the Balemurk for its impending cost, does Taigam's copy enter without time counters? And if I evoke Solitude, do I have to sacrifice the copy?

@MatthewLNass I believe the answer is no, outside of chaining card draw into a 2 card wincon. No miraculous "invasion but with flash" and no tutor+ to assemble a combo. Thought "maybe they reprinted shared summons into foundations while I wasn't looking" but no such luck

Is there a way to kill Instant speed in standard with omniscience out and just one card in hand?

@mtgbentcard @GuI_Dukat Looks like I can't message you on twitter, but I'd be interested(assuming they don't put the Arena Championship on the same weekend)

Looking for a third player to join me and @GuI_Dukat for the December 7 Constructed Team Trios event in Montreal! Message me if I know you (or if you assume I know of you) and you're interested. Earplugs provided free of charge. f2ftour.com/event/f2f-tour…

@CoreyBaumeister The e-mail I got a couple weeks after my qual said it'd be in December, no specific date as yet

Now the real question is when is the event I just qualified for? lol

O. My. God. I can't believe I just qued for the Arena Champs.....

Good couple weeks for me in ol' Thunder Junction Crime pays

@PandatheniceOne I actually started with a UBwg build similar to yours for the first match. Outlaw stitcher felt like it was underperforming so I cut it, and then when I looked at my remaining creatures double down started looking not good enough. Switched to green for a more solid creaturebase.

@Canadianbacn good job! i was checking the second deck and i felt a UBw version felt better or maybe UBwg(sealeddeck.tech/BChMfkS0dc) only splashing the reanimate effect what made you go green base ? good job again :)

Got there in the Arena Qualifier just how you'd hope - a few hard sweats and a few easy rolls(shout out to Stoic Sphinx) Day 1: sealeddeck.tech/2YtYArCGzJ Day 2: sealeddeck.tech/EjBOcAChSV

@NoorSin314 Likewise 🤝

@Canadianbacn Congrats!

@ghirapurigears Before OTJ spoilers started, I was exploring different ways to build the Aftermath Analyst shell and lamenting the lack of ways to sacrifice lands at will in standard, so when Pitiless Carnage got spoiled my eyes popped out of my skull like a cartoon character

oh man, this is why i read coverage of every format. i would have never thought to put these two cards together.

@LilAmericanPunk 95% sure one was in one of my drafts - so that narrows it to Anthony Lee, Karl Sarap, Matt Sikkink Johnson, Akio Matsuzaki, Matthew Giudes, Greg Orange, Max Kominowski, Ben Stark, Nicole Tipple, Shuhei Nakamura, Arne Huschenbach, James Larsen-Scott, Masahide Moriyama, Reid Duke

If anyone at #PTThunder ended up with a stamped Endless Detour, pls let me know 🥺 would love to work something out since it was my preview card this set 💜

@MrChecklistcard Prime POTY behaviour

Almost missed my draft, sat down all sweaty, opened Deadly Cover-Up and 3-0'ed my pod by drawing it every game 😁

@lordtupperware sealeddeck.tech/iMQqCJaxzi Tried to have a somewhat responsible manabase while cramming value in. Couldn't reasonably fit an island in for anchorage. Planning to slow game down and let lands win grind game. Anim Pakal is off plan but I want to believe in the power level

Since the format is so new, if anyone is interested, I put my whole pool from the $2K online to see what others might come up with. Lemme know what you build! Pool: sealeddeck.tech/7RlZlW182x My deck: sealeddeck.tech/ZTrLxPXzmU

@ThoseDudesTV Hey there, glad you've enjoyed the deck. I haven't got any footage, but if you have anything you wanted to ask about you can shoot me a DM.

@Canadianbacn I’m so passionate about this list, any chance we could talk about it ? Is there any footage of you playing it? Congrats on your performance at the worlds !

For posterity: the actual useful descriptive name might be Mono Blue Cauldron...but in my heart the deck is Cephalid Soul Food #MTGWorlds

@mtgbentcard @terribadmtg "Mr. Jensen, please, it's absolutely vital that the Pro Tour start inviting approximately 150 extra players"

@terribadmtg Imagine the chaos that would ensue with final standings stamped on tge card. Players would be trying to concede into 69th place

Now that year 1 is done. What was your favorite part of Organize play system last year? Other than hanging out with friends my top2 in comments.

@MrChecklistcard @Em_TeeGee Personally I'm partial to the couple of weeks we had between getting Salvager of Ruin as an upgrade and the revelation that Kethis was the same deck but approximately 20 times better

@Em_TeeGee Teshar + 2 copies of Rona in the yard + 2 Mox Ambers + Diligent Excavator 😍

What are your favorite combos in card games? Preferably 2-3 cards, but sky's the limit really. People turn up their noses at combo so frequently that I'd love some of my fellow combo enjoyers to sound off and own their stuff 😭 #WOTCstaff

3-3 in draft, 4-4 in standard. I am the World Championship's perfectly average warrior #MTGWorlds
