Affinity For MTG

Update: The option is greyed out now, so seems to be working as intended.

I'm goldfishing against sparky to double check right now. :)

Interesting, Arena let me choose the first option and then fail to target, so that might have been a bug.

I've tried this on Arena and it still doesn't copy, sadly.

It also doesn't work if you chose the first mode with no elementals to target, for some reason.

The conversation around TMNT is all about Universes Beyond, but it's not just that.

It's the UB-equivalent of a "hat" set. Everything is a stupid joke and the whole set feels unserious.

FF/Avatar took themselves seriously and were rewarded for it, TMNT feels like Thunder Junction with pizza.

I know it's a stereotype to say we haven't had time to enjoy the new set before it's gone...but I actually haven't come close to playing all the sweet Lorwyn decks I want to play for the channel and we're already talking about TMNT previews.

Harry Conway makes his first re-appearance since Wilds of Eldraine and all I can say is I wish more of his art was in the game!

YouTube video by Affinity for MTG I Found My Favorite Deck in Brawl! (I'm Sorry)

I'm not usually this vulnerable but I posted my favorite Brawl deck today and I need you to not judge me for it.

Anyway it's Tourach, Dread Cantor... 😈

Totally forgot to post my most-played Steam games of the year.

Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus should be somewhere between Heretic's Fork and Slime 3k but I played it in December after the stats were tallied.

Please tell me Youtube is broken and not counting views properly at the moment. 😬

My Christmas Eve youtube video has "Love Cookie" in the URL.

So anyway you should watch it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg7L...

The Standard Bo1 metagame is driving me insane.

Seriously might just fuck around and try Brawl. I don't play Commander, but I can't take another Badgermole Cub/Ouroboroid matchup!

Where do you guys go for decklists? Should I just steal from @amytheamazonian.bsky.social? 😝

I built a Standard elf deck for the Winter Achievement...but holy crap they're actually really good!

YouTube video by Affinity for MTG I Found SECRET CLUES For Reality Fracture! - What Does This Mean??

Has anyone else noticed this?

If you've gone this long without trying Slay the Spire, now is the time to pick it up on Steam!

The Frostwagg pet is discounted in the Bundles tab, but not in the Cosmetics tab, so be careful if you are buying it!

Bo1 Standard is cooked.

(Timestamps from today's video.)

Tishana's Tidebinder might be the most important (and underplayed) card in Bo1 Standard right now.

It hard counters Monument to Endurance and Ouroboroid, shutting them down completely.

The Lessons deck is good at removing it, but I definitely think this should be in most blue decks.

Broke: Complaining about netdeckers.

Woke: Pooping on netdeckers.

My janky homebrew videos never perform well (probably because I don't oversell them as 80% winrate meta destroyers) but if you're interested in jank, check out Frogbending!

Top 10 songs played this year! I always get sucked into a single genre, and this was the year of Darkwave apparently.

YouTube video by Affinity For Games Can i finish this run before my computer explodes?

Just wanted to share a Heretic's Fork run that nearly destroyed my computer. 😂

No commentary!

I made a video recently discussing the irony of WOTC blaming content creators for Spider Man failing, when in reality the failure of Spider Man hurt the performance of our videos.

Check out which character is in the worst-performing thumbnail I've ever seen.

Yep, they aren't tier 1 decks like Challenger decks, but they each have 14+ rares and 4 copies of key cards so they are much better than old Theme/Challenger decks. If the price is reasonable they'll be solid for new players! :)

WOTC revealed new Theme decks for Lorwyn Eclipsed, and on the side of the boxes you can see the decklists!

Note the lists are illegal/incomplete as they contain unreleased cards. Also, Pirates has SPELL SNARE!

I hit Mythic!

It's hard to find time to actually play Magic since most of my free time is spent editing youtube videos, but I wanted to try it once before the Spider Man set releases.

It took me about 6 hours with this Demons deck. 71% winrate over 98 games. 👍

A lot of people are playing Biotech Specialist in janky combo decks, but I slotted it into a gruul aggro list and it feels INCREDIBLE!

YouTube video by Affinity for MTG Can Black Decks Survive Rotation?

Black is losing many of its most powerful cards to rotation - from key removal spells like Cut Down and Go for the Throat to its big haymakers like Sheoldred, Liliana, and Archfiend of the Dross.

Can the black decks survive rotation? Today we find out!

I tortured myself by trying to win with the Hot Pockets deck in ranked Pioneer.

Please watch to make my suffering worth it.

It's official, Final Fantasy goes live on Magic Arena today, ushering a new era of Magic that will change the game forever.

So anyway here's a Hearthstone video I just posted: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEdt...
