Makes me wonder how card readers like the one @loadingreadyrun.com use will be able to cope.

Although, with the lack of coverage of the format, the store has considered whether to stop playing it, and change to a different format (likely Pauper).

The decks are all varied and only a few would be considered meta.

I enjoy the format, and love my goofy deck (which I cannot play on Arena, as the key cards are not on there).

My LGS runs a Pioneer event at least once a month, as the store hosted MTG events around the first legal set for Pioneer. So, if you've played at the store at any point, you could be a legal deck.

Last week we had 12 players (it usually reaches the minimum of 8).

It isn't the best, but I will always have fond memories of Puggsy.

Otherwise, an update on the silver-border project and review of the bracket system would be nice!

I think the biggest problems with Commander is the contents of products, which I'm unsure the panel can solve. I wish products were solely focused on the format they were designed for, and exclude Commander. It'll be hard to put the paste back in the tube, but a fan can dream.

Most recently, Baldur's Gate. But Mystery Booster, Battlebond, & Conspiracy is also up there.

Is there a Magic format that you're interested in, but have not taken the plunge to play it?

If a Magic card name could be your catchphrase, what would it be and why?

Playing Magic for over 20 years, I've come to appreciate experiencing a set, which you can only do with limited. Plus, it allows you to play a variety of decks, which is awesome.

I love being able to express yourself in EDH, but drafting does the plus more.

I'm so excited for the Baldur's Gate draft. Such a great set.

It's quite the curveball, isn't it? But, it certainly helped bolster the show as my favourite current anime.

I was only getting this as a birthday gift for my brother. An hour and a half later after joining the queue as soon as it opened, I'm still only a third of the way there.

Clearly fast was not fast enough.

Took me a moment to get the connection, but then I remember that he's a raptor. A+ work right there.

I like to imagine that the dinosaur is called Skitch, for the Shuffle Master reference.

I can't have my ox drive my boat, which i do regularly at my LGS. So no, I can't play Pioneer on Arena 🙁

In memory of the Shuffle Master, @egoraptor.bsky.social, I would love to see a Skitch card. I want to see how they lose them in the geyser field!

My LGS just had twice the number of players for this prerelease then they had for Aetherdrift. Clearly that Tarkir charm doing wonders!

Many Magic The Gathering players ask the question: is it worth it to buy a dozen eggs?

Which known Universes Beyond property would you be interested to see in a Universes Within plane? (I personally wouldn't want this to happen, but it's amusing to think about)

If you could design a Companion that would complement your Runner cards, what creature would it be, and what effect would it have?

I keep checking, but alas, I was not a chosen one 😭 congrats to those who were chosen, and thanks again to the TCC team for doing an amazing job!

Donated to the cause. Let's go for the high score!

This point was my only concern. Typing my decks in, they've all been estimated 1 or 2, when I know that a couple of them are more 3 or 4s. Hopefully over time, players learn to gauge their decks appropriately, and not use a websites number as the defacto bracket.

Besides that, I'm happy for the system. Just need to make sure that communication is very clear, as I am already having difficulty getting people to understand that their decks are not a 1 because they are playing no game changers.

TLDR; I'm worried that a Archidekt 3 will not be the same as a Moxfield 3, but perhaps a Moxfield 2, for example.

They could all share a common API, but someone has to implement one, and that is no small task.

There are tens of thousands of cards and many different combos between them. It would be extremely difficult to code an algorithm that can accurately distinguish what bracket a deck is in. Let alone multiple tools coming to the same answer.

It's easy for it to count the number of game changers in your deck, but how would the tools know the difference between a 4 or a 5?

One issue i have is that while it is great that there will be online tools that can calculate your decks bracket, I'm worried that they will be calculated differently across different sites.
