@gggiants @GoodMorningJoel A 2 minute total cut of all the challenges across the entire game put together makes the whole game unwatchable?

@GoodMorningJoel The sequence in that post makes the game unwatchable.

Kind of funny that all of the pace-of-play improvements from the pitch clock are going to go right out the window with this system

CRUSHED my local RCQ tonight with @MrChecklistcard simic cub list! 3 PT players in the room and I beat 2 of them to get there, deck is BUSTED how have they not BANNED cub? MU’s below @fireshoes R1 (QF): vs Lessons 🐻☠️🐻 R2 (SF): Scoop @LukeBrandes R3 Finals: Scoop @selesneal

@selesneal @CardtropolisTCG @LukeBrandes @RossHunneds Extremely common Richard W

Won the @CardtropolisTCG RCQ today with G/W Landfall! The deck is a blast to play, and has a ton of game against the field — much more able to play a grindy game than the older Mossborn Hydra builds. Shout-out to @LukeBrandes and @RossHunneds for their iteration on the list!

@Vilan96_ @fireshoes If you find inner peace your mana base can't hurt you

@Tonmber @fireshoes I tried it on arena after seeing your result, the main problem with this deck is with manabase, like old esper, but it feels so broken if it doesn't brick. thanks for sharing!

Made a little SB map for the Seal Pixie deck since some were asking for it. This is my best idea for most of these matchups but I don't guarantee it's perfect 😅. Hope people enjoy!

@AdamPalmgren98 @LukeBrandes @fireshoes I have not fully worked out what the mana is going to look like with Hallowed Fountain but you will likely be able to make something workable without starting town, yeh.

@Tonmber @LukeBrandes @fireshoes Do you think we will be fine with hallowed fountains coming in lorwyn instead of starting towns?

T4 Challenge with Seal Pixie Deck feels really busted, idk why no one is playing it other than me🤷‍♂️ Dimir 🥷🦭🦭 4C Control 🛑🦭🦭 Airbending 🦭🦭 Jeskai Control 🦭🦭 UW Control 🦭🛑🛑 (threw an unloseable g3) Landfall 🤝 (@LukeBrandes) Mono Red 🦭🦭 Landfall 🐥🐥 @fireshoes

@AdamPalmgren98 @LukeBrandes @fireshoes The mana is designed to have as many untapped U as possible since we have really U heavy turns. Neither court or floodfarm do that for us, so I'd rather just play 2 tapped lands w/ upside (surveil or restless), 1 more floodfarm, and like 1 courtyard. It'll be worse tho for sure

@Tonmber @LukeBrandes @fireshoes Thanks for all the replies, last question, do you think its possible to play this deck without starting towns? I dont own them and wondering what the subs would be? 2 more floodfarm verges and some fastlands?

@AdamPalmgren98 @LukeBrandes @fireshoes Kaito is a late addition. It's a repeatable way to untap the Seal for free, which can help in some spots. It threatens to ult really fast if you have a fine start (e.g t1 talent t2 pixie talent t3 kaito ults t4). It makes the other Kaito better too. I'm not married to it though.

@Tonmber @LukeBrandes @fireshoes Thanks for the reply, is the 3 mana kaito that good or should it probably be another card in the 60? Played a league with this, went well but i didnt think kaito felt that great in the deck, for what affect do we want him in the deck? Its not better with a curiosity? :D

@PondWatersMTG @fireshoes @LukeBrandes Tried my hand: x.com/i/status/20018…

@Tonmber @fireshoes @LukeBrandes You should create sideboard guide

@LukeBrandes 2real4me

WAIT I forgot the engagement bait

@AdamPalmgren98 @LukeBrandes @fireshoes Sort of depends on the specifics of the demons lists. Boomerang Basics is very strong against Ritual Chamber and we're structurally pretty good against 1 for 1 removal spells since most of our cards cantrip. If they're playing a pile of x/4s things can get a little weird though.

@Tonmber @LukeBrandes @fireshoes How do u think this build go against golgari / monoblack demons/annex decks?:)

@jonesjohnnny @LukeBrandes @fireshoes I have a very positive record against Lessons. Pixie is structurally good against 1:1 removal, and Kaito is a house against them.

@Tonmber @LukeBrandes @fireshoes How's the matches up against Lessons?

Won the December 17 Standard Challenge!! Stole Svetily's list after seeing that they trophied 4 leagues in 2 days with WG landfall and tossed in some birds to make it sing. Matchups below 👇

@LukeBrandes @fireshoes I didn't have space but R3 was against the homie @nikroulah !!

-2 Spider-Sense / +1 Stock Up, +1 Floodpits Drowner main -2 Aven, -1 RIP / +1 Aang , +1 Stock Up, +1 NML side Our mana sucks at 1WW so no Avens. Spider-Sense is a neat to sometimes scam the Riddler and some upside but not great. RIP only for 1 matchup so trimmed. @fireshoes

Top 8'd the Wednesday Challenge The death of Nurturing Pixie has been greatly exaggerated! R1 UGB Lands 2-1 R2 UW Control 2-0 R3 UR Lessons 0-2 (Dom Harvey) R4 UR Looting 2-0 R5 UR Prowess/Control 2-0 R6 Living End 1-2 -- QF R5 Rematch 0-2 @fireshoes

@EmmettNeyman Finally, we have isolated pure mid

Shoutout to Team Schism for being an awesome group of people to test with for Vegas. We may be the "okayest" Magic team ever, but the vibes all season were immaculate.

@AJGullotta @LombardiHimself Vic Tafur is speculating based on Purdy not being made the emergency 3rd QB, which was explained in the original post. Tafur didn't say that based on any knowledge from the team.

@LombardiHimself Vic Tafur is literally reporting that it’s in worse shape than it was after week one. This is ignorance, delusion, and denial on display.

Some 49ers facts to guide you through… -Purdy’s status improved quickly enough last week for him to play -Mac Jones was more hurt/limited than Purdy last week, in some ways dictating SF’s hand. Jones now a full participant -It’s impossible to know how an injury will react to an in-game situation… until a player returns to in-game activity -Purdy’s toe is in better shape now than it was coming out of the initial W1 injury. Soreness a result of full-speed, in-game work. Yes, toes are tricky -Emergency QB3 is not feasible for Purdy because roster rules would require Martinez to be promoted to the 53 -Thursday games on artificial turf are invitations to the inactive list -The 49ers’ optimal long-term play: Compete as hard as possible with those who are healthy and available in LA, rest others (as is possible) a full 2 weeks and apply a better health status to Tampa Bay game — even if it’s at 3-2 (that’s not a bad position to be in). Long-game thinking -Unlike Rams, Bucs have big health issues of their own and the 49ers’ injury statuses are also obviously fluid. But there’s room for enough improvement over 10 days to envision a more favorable setup. That’s not the case on a 4-day week vs a fully stocked LA team

Which set symbol is standard? This happens with every new set and I dont know how to find out.
