I have this half formed theory that the Mocs level MTGO players are secretly much much better at limited than even most PT players. Nothing else really explains for me why some of them can just win 8+ boxes every arena direct like it’s not a big deal, like high level MTGO is the mutagenic ooze

My guess is the average high level limited player has been playing high level limited for like ten years. So that last gap is tough

Frieren is really good. A modern classic.

Go to 100%! I had a lot of fun with the last bit

Borrow!! Most groups have decks to lend :)

It’s a good waypoint to learning “removal is important to include!”

These were the 3 I was handed!

I was at a comic shop this week and asked for something good and stand alone. The guy wearing a marvel shirt gave me three DC books and shrugged 🤷‍♂️

“This secret lair is print to order so every New Yorker can afford it. For too long the scalpers and lottery systems have prevented hard working men and women from getting cool foils and variants. Not anymore.”

Top 8 or nothing

I believe canonically it is also why Daredevil is blind, same chemical truck

This is why I got to play a Pro Tour. I reached out to the player who was messing around with Tree of Perdition on MTGO and the rest is history.

I feel the same way about many other card games. If I can’t find a bunch of lists, then I don’t have any interest in starting to play.

Played on the PT, I’m a 5/10.

I would go as far to say that 90% of paper players are 4 or below. That’s more than 90% of the fun though. The last 10% optimization is extremely unfun for most people and an interesting study in game design.

The average MTGO player is a 6+

Arena average is like a 3

Now they just have to actually send them

My number one suggestion is do either with people who you are already friends with. The hobbies themselves are cool, but they are at the end of the day an excuse to hang out and have fun with people you enjoy. 😊 so ask around!

Dominoes meme with the small part: printing a 1/1 hexproof in 2008, large part “best MTG commentator of all time”

Her resume is insane, we are very fortunate she likes this card game as much as she does

@mariahtekulve.bsky.social justice made the most beautiful Magic card I own, and her signatures are absolutely lovely! The artist proof is the foil :)

I severely discount reports that are like “I hate the MTGO interface so I only practiced on Arena or paper” because it’s like, do you think your opponents love it? Or are they just that much more dedicated?

Scissors: hey that’s really resonant, two fingers cutting!

Rock: Wow a top down design, a fist!

Paper: ummm let’s hear from everyone about ideas

^^ this one! I had a blast playing it, you basically get dealt two random cards that describe a product, then a third random card describes your “buyer.” Then your job is to do a charismatic pitch! One of the few games I’ve played where I went “wow I should buy this” right after!

Here’s one for the list. I was really impressed with how solid of a game it would be for a young kid just learning to read.

Hope you get some strong meds!

There’s a launch of 10 precon decks that are widely applauded for being competitive, fun and very balanced similar to the og commander product. Similar to Riftbound, if you top an RC and are the best placing person with your companion, you get a special foil version leading to very wide diversity

“Kitchen table cards I own” has always been the most popular format

My guess would be 1v1 companion duel, which is “100 modern singleton cards of the same colors, you can pay 3 to put the legendary companion into your hand” and it has PT and casual support crossing the two streams for the 1st time
