@MtgNosferatu @MTG_Arena @fireshoes @Wizards_Help Just reinforces my decision to never spend money on Arena

Update: It is unbelievable @MTG_Arena would treat its players this way. I am hoping this gets remedied immediately and I am granted at minimum a Day 2 token to the next qualifier. @fireshoes @Wizards_Help

Another weekend, another Gardens challenge top 8/76 players. I feel pretty great about most of the top matchups, even the losses today felt close (except for __Noob__ BG). Had to mull to oblivion in T8 against Madness, but that's Magic.🐀 #mtg #mtgpauper #paupermtg #mtgo #pauper

Top 4/62 of today's Pauper Challenge with Gardens 🐀🐀🐀 The deck is great in a field of Elves and creature combo, but Madness is so popular now. I'm thinking about how to make that matchup a little better. #mtg #mtgpauper #paupermtg #mtgo #pauper

Another Pauper Challenge top 8 today with Gardens, lost against white to some bad draws and timely emblems. I tried a Drown in the main over Thorn, it felt decent and I didn't really miss Thorn. #mtg #mtgpauper #paupermtg #mtgo #pauper

Also I recorded my games today so I'll try to put the video online somewhere later

The rats are back! 🐀🐀🐀 Split the finals of today's pauper challenge with Gardens, 6-2 in matches played. Red continues to be a problem but most other matchups feel pretty good, especially Spy and Terror. #mtg #mtgpauper #paupermtg #mtgo #pauper

I'm happy with this list, I'm probably playing it (or very close to it) at the @RIWHobbies Championship Series 1K next weekend.

i don't have any TMNT shitposts in me, i just feel nothing when i look at these deeply ugly cards. what are we even doing here, man

I swear to god, Wizards can't get out of their own god damned way sometimes. They are making Magic Online change what decklists get published. Only the Top 8 decklists will get posted for challenges under 64 players. #mtg #ReleaseTheDecklists

@PauperDrake @PiemontiAndrea the Jund matchup often comes down to not being able to do enough damage before running out of cards. Campfire means they run out before you but they started running Sagu Wilding to never get decked, so Centaur can mill it

@PiemontiAndrea @NickNorman Nice! Could you explain what the centaur is for? I read the other comment but I dont’t get it, and I am really curious about it. Thanks!

Won today's Pauper challenge with Gardens! 🐀🐀🐀 8-1 on the day, lost round one and won out. Had some good matchups with Dredge and Infect, got lucky against Madness. Rats are great, Campfire is great, deck is great. #mtg #mtgpauper #paupermtg #mtgo #pauper

Made the finals of today's Pauper challenge with Gardens 🥳 The deck is still great, especially with Elves everywhere now. Thinking about a little more GY hate/lifegain for Spy, Dredge and Madness, I haven't seen much Affinity. #mtg #mtgpauper #paupermtg #mtgo #pauper

Also made top 8 of the @RIWHobbies invitational with the same list yesterday. It was a great year and I can't wait for more pauper events!

Split the finals of today's Pauper Challenge! 74 players, 8-1 overall. Gardens is still very good as long as you dodge the crazy fast red starts and don't run into too much variance. #mtg #mtgpauper #paupermtg #mtgo #pauper

Made top 8 of today's Pauper Challenge (64 players) with Gardens after a few top 16s. I'm pretty happy with the list, there are a few flex cards that don't matter that much I could change but the deck's in a good spot now. #mtg #mtgpauper #paupermtg #mtgo #pauper

@KamalaHarris hahaha fuck you this is why you lost

I am saddened to learn of the passing of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Vice President Cheney was a devoted public servant, from the halls of Congress to many positions of leadership in multiple presidential administrations. His passing marks the loss of a figure who, with a strong sense of dedication, gave so much of his life to the country he loved. Doug and I are keeping Lynne, their daughters Liz and Mary, and the entire Cheney family in our thoughts during this difficult time.

@Nuserdog_ I don't think Pestilence is very good.

@NickNorman Do you prefer normal gardens over pestilence?

Top 8 of today's Pauper Challenge (63 players), ran out of luck in round 7. Terror and Spy continue to be great matchups. Avoid High Tide ✅ Play against Spy ✅ Don't flood out in top 8 ❌ #mtg #mtgpauper #paupermtg #mtgo #pauper
