The aforementioned dinner
To celebrate the 8th night of Hanukkah, we adorned some homemade latkes with caviar, crรจme fraรฎche, and lox, and paired it with sparking rosรฉ

The value of the second one is debatable. Probably worth running the second FoI without AK, but not if youโre playing AK.

Added an extra land compared to stock lists, trimmed a Flash of Insight, moved some other things around to season the list to my tastes.
It was expensive to get this deck in all old border, so I hope these 11 chests have the nuts!
Lots of them, particularly the old frame printings

After years of basically just playing formats where I have expertise, itโs cool wading into a format where my lack of experience shows so clearly.
Iโm excited to keep learning the format and watch myself improve ๐ช
Premodern Is Coming To Magic Online

The price I pay to have pretty digital Magic cards
Some people use Magic Online to chase MOCS invites. Others use it for high-stakes testing. Some just want to play leagues in their underwear.
I use it to set new personal records in Goatbots โsuggested card swaps.โ
Hey! Probably not tbh, as neither min nor i have the free time necessary.

Using the "Tempo Reanimator" deck building philosophy and instantly 5-0'd with this Tempo S&T deck. I don't think my exact card choices are optimal, but the archetype felt very good.
You also get cute synergies of using Ancient Tomb to crack a Clue and stuff like that.
You too!
11.11.2025 19:01 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0In my last eternal weekend, my goals were:
- to avoid โbrainfartโ mistakes like saying okay to a spell I meant to counter, or walking into an on-board trick.
- to treat my opponents in such a way that theyโre happy to have met and played against me
Also, remember that youโre not the tournament protagonist, and neither is your opponent. Neither player โdeservesโ to win, regardless of play skill, matchup, good topdecks, or whatever.
What everyone deserves is to be treated with respect, and to treat their opponents with respect in kind.
In a 1000 player tournament, thereโs 1 winner and 999 people who didnโt win. Because of this, itโs really important to separate your goals from your tournament record, and recognize that playing well, on its own, isnโt sufficient for a good result. On a given day, lots of good players go 0-2 or 0-3.
