These are the decks I used to Top 4 Vintage Champs and Top 32 Legacy Champs at Eternal Weekend NA

Vintage: BUG Lurrus
Legacy: UB Reanimator

Keep your eyes peeled for a video where I dive deep on these decks, how to approach expected matchups, and provide free sideboard guides

Went to buy something and was like "Why do I have a PP balance?" then checked my email. 😄

Fearsome Ridgeline granting menace came up big in the last game. Having double anthem for almost all of my creatures with Tarantusk and Rouse was awesome. Kavaero was probably a bit much to try, never cast it. Borys was a big boy a couple times at 7/6+.

Pick up my third trophy in 8-player pick-1 Omenpaths draft! #mtg #mtgOM1

This one got kind of sideways in the draft, but it worked out. Started in GW with Zora, Rouse the Swarm, Mothwing Shroud, Darval. GW was drying up fast. Had a little bit of a spider things going. P1P5 Kroble. P1P6 Kumonosu. 😅

Made Mythic with Golgari Scam in Timeless - Jund struggled to ladder once I hit Diamond, so I pivoted to this truly degen pile for strong results! @fireshoes.bsky.social

Ooze + Chosen by Valgavoth Combo!

Against some decks, Chosen by Valgavoth on Ooze means you can no longer take damage. Protection spells help against bounce/exile removal and Cirina is great with the toolbox of auras.

Got another Omenpaths trophy in the 8-player, pick-1 draft queue! P1p1 Alenni/Silk carried a few games. 🕷️🏆

Opened Qoneus/The Spot P3P1, with a couple Zan to search for a swamp, but only cast it once.

The Spectacular Tactics were great in every match. 😘

This week's #mtgcube piece has been brewing for awhile. Sometimes, you have to show the cards who shuffles whom.

This article talking about making #mtgcube changes was started by a @ryanoverdrive.bsky.social
tweet from 2016. The article's been in the works for a while.

I wanted to finish before CC, as I have an idea brewing for my one - my 60th cube design article.

"Cube design is a cathartic project. I highly recommend it. Like tending a garden for those who aren't about gardening."

Been a while since I played this much constructed, but losing to @jkyu06.bsky.social in the finals like I did in my last RCQ is unacceptable and so I got into the mines.
