... it rewards playing with less lands and playing a deck like Mono Red.

So I've delayed publishing this opinion because the majority of MTG creators and players play Best of One magic, but... this is unprecedented. WotC literally looked at Pioneer which is in a healthy place and made a decision based on Bo1 play patterns. The problem is Bo1 is run with hand smoothing.

YouTube video by The MTG Rebellion Is Magic the Gathering Taking Over My Life?

The gate to enjoying MTG isn't just money but time and focus. In this video I also discuss the weird regional institutional hurdles we all face that keep us from enjoying this game as much as we could. If you aren't a rich American/European adult, this game gets harder to enjoy.

Limited Championship announced on WeeklyMTG!

Love this!

it's a sad state of affairs that an LGS has to ask the public for help supporting a sealed event. This is the state of the competitive scene in MTG right now while Wizards blames us for pointing it out rather than fixing it. Smh support your LGS.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

Really great thing to say to those who need to hear it, but I don't feel loved. I don't feel heard. I don't feel like my thoughts and values matter to the MTG community. I'm going to push forward anyway because my community needs me and I need them.

Picture of gaming studio space for content creation.

I have a brand new space for recording and streaming set up. Just need to install my laptop dock and get power to the secondary monitor I'll be using and we will have a space for variety game streams, podcasts, and the return of Discord Request Live, our old gaming show.

A little MTG timeline.

May 2024: Extremely happy with standard, can't get enough of the format.

January 2025: Hesitant about Standard and attending the first Spotlight Series.

October 2025: I don't think I'll ever buy into Standard again.

Coming soon for a Twitch stream and YT deck vid: Sultai Reanimator! I just started playing this today. Will stream tomorrow night. SB Guide already out on the MTG Rebellion YT. Join the Coffee and Grinders support tier for access.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 LMAO they even used the exact same title and card art. Please go support our latest video. I've been trying a new format for the Rebelcast. It's on Spotify and YouTube for the @mtgrebellion.bsky.social

In this latest episode I break down the MTG "Slop" discourse and extract the core issue at the heart of it all: card accessibility. Also on the episode is the 2nd of a series of interviews with the MTG Rebellion competitive team. youtu.be/CxuiWfzDUbU#... #mtgcompetitive
