@aBlueRaven@WrzoBuMTGO@Asmodeiuss@fireshoes What's the general sideboard strategy on what to side out? (i.e. what cards are the first to side out without derailing the main plan of the deck?)
In preparation for the upcoming Arena QW my team decided to grind some historic. I landed on Gruulshift, decklist built and perfected by me, @WrzoBuMTGO and @Asmodeiuss.
Went 29-5 in bo3 constructed from p4 straight to mythic.
Recommend you give this list a try!
@fireshoes
@CunicoliGoblin@fireshoes Is there a ban announcement tomorrow? I'd say Food Chain isn't more oppressive than any of the other degenerate stuff in historic (like the two mana reanimator decks). I'd like to see historic slowed down in general though.
Since there's a small chance Food Chain will be banned in #Historic tomorrow, I'll show off my latest FoodChain Goblins!🍕👹
I spent several hours on it and tried different configs for these 75.
The deck isn't enough for the QW anyway, but it's still a blast and very fun to play!
Going a bit tryhard this month just because they brought me Food Chain. Here’s my build—completely busted, 81% winrate, disgusting. Sometimes even a turn 2 win. @fireshoes@MTGdecks
SPIDER FOLK WINS PIONEER CHALLENGE??? Super proud of the build and the beautiful format that is pioneer! This is what WOTC wants to take away..

@billamend@billamend some people on the Caltech alumni Facebook group, are miffed you spelled it CalTech instead of Caltech. (A common thing non-techers do). Any chance you could fix it for the collected edition? (we're big fans over here, you strip was in our school newspaper for years)
@AlthMtg@mtgazone I'm really thinking of paying for premium to get this...but do you know why you are the only author to have a premium article for 6 months? (not that you aren't worth it...), but it feels as if @mtgazone premium...is just your articles, are there no other premium writers there?
My full deck guide for the Historic Primal Prayers combo deck that I recently went 48-5 with (and is my pick for the qualifier) is up on @mtgazone Premium going in-depth on how to play the list, card choices, Bo1, tips & tricks and full sideboard guide! mtgazone.com/historic-naya-…
@AlthMtg@fireshoes@mtgazone I've been playing this lately. I wonder if Cavern of Souls on Human could fit in here. Usually against control decks to force through a Tajic. I also am considering just moving Tajic to the main deck? It seems like it's just that good.
48-5 and #15 with my Historic Prayers Combo list! The deck feels crazy - combo is really consistent and can go off turn 3, and the deck has a good fair backup gameplan too! I've done a full in-depth deck guide video with gameplay here: youtu.be/FMhKRZbeuJk@fireshoes@mtgazone
@AlthMtg@mtgazone@fireshoes I'm curious what's your plan for the mirror. Your deck is quite popular now on the ladder, and previously there were stone brain's in the sideboard for opposing titans...
I got top 4 in last weekend's Timeless $1k tournament with an updated version of Titan Field, and just put up a vid discussing the recent changes, as well as over 2 hours of gameplay going over all the rounds including top 8 matches: youtu.be/DTBsxri3xN8@mtgazone@fireshoes
@IceCreamSun2@Aspiringspike@fireshoes If you're looking for another big spell, I would go lower on the curve, Glorybinger and Torch of Defiance are fine. but 4 Dmg is often not enough
But Hope's Beacon just ends games so quickly and etb killing 2 medium-big size things is often enough to stabilize
Updated state of Explore
Mythic with Chandra Field
Thank u @Aspiringspike for the Sunken Citadel inspiration
Amalia&Phoenix be having their greedy mana and wildfire on a Wolfhaven land from Mono G is *chef kiss*
People on Arena concede so fast (don't blame them)

@nwbrickcon There are no hours for the show listed in this post, or the website. (There are times on tickets, but no end time for when the show closes?)
@Marshall_LR I've gotten 7 wins before on DMU draft on the back of Wingmantle Chaplain, but I could never figure out how to draft the Domain deck. Thanks to LR episode this week, I managed to get 7 wins on the first try! :)
Giveaway🎁 10,000 #MTGArena gems
With the #MTGCapenna care package @wizards_magic included a code for gems. I wanted to share my good fortune with this wonder community. Winner picked on 5/10.
Retweet and follow to enter.🥰
@JimDavisMTG@thebloodsower I guess your NEO performance qualifies you for the SNC Champs though? I hope you get the 9 wins there, to qualify for the PT, loved watching your deck at NEO champs.
@thebloodsower The rolling adjusted match points thing doesn't start until the actual PTs start, so the only effect the Set Championships have on the PTs is going 9-6 or better at the SNC Champs 😐
Definitely kinda bummed that 15-0 at the #NeoChamps doesn't translate into anything PT Qualification-wise, but still a good day and very excited to see a swell of positivity around Organized Play for the first time in a while.
@JimDavisMTG Hope you will clip or youtube your Deck Techs? I was def cheering for you over the weekend, and very interested in your overall thoughts on your Alchemy deck (beyond the pre-tourney video you posted on coolstuff)
👺 #MoggMonday Episode 127 👺
What a Monday it is!
The card of the weekend was Fable of the Mirror-Breaker, so let's give it a spin in Historic. I'll also be doing deck techs of both my #NEOChamps decks!
Tomorrow morning I'll be doing my match reviews!
