Got myself a beautiful loved playset of Mishra’s Factory. A very nostalgic card from when I built my first Magic deck and I’m happy to be reunited with them even if I may never get a chance to play with them.

Made top 8 at the Fusion Gaming Open following back to back 5-0s on Magic Online with the following Modern Merfolk list!

R1 Zoo 🌊🌊
R2 RG Eldrazi 🌊🍣🌊
R3 Esper Blink 🌊🌊
R4 Affinity 🍣🌊🌊
R5 ID
R6 ID
QF Eldrazi Tron 🍣🌊🍣

Energy is a bad match up but Blink is great!

Merfolk is super fun in Premodern! Been playing casually on the side to refine this deck and I'm having a blast!

This is a rare moment in history where you can play the same deck competitively from Standard, Pioneer, Modern, to Legacy. All Kaito Dimir Tempo.

Reminder that card power level is very dependent on the format it’s played.

Sowing Mycospawn to Modern players: “yeah it’s whatever”

Sowing Mycospawn to Legacy players: “THIS IS BROKEN. How could Wizards print this? Ban it! What were they even thinking!? Un-print immediately!”

But why?

Congratulations to @emmaskyeward.bsky.social for cashing with the best performing Merfolk deck at #RCCharlotte!

Funny thing is that her list is based on this 5-0 where I accidentally won with 3 Phantasmal Images sideboarded; they are sort of useless. So she impressively cashed with a 72 card deck.

Unbanning Splinter Twin was a mistake.

The illusion that it was the best Modern deck ever, unjustly imprisoned on the ban list, was better than unbanning it and ruining its legacy by being utterly unplayable.

I don't expect Wizards to ban all the x/1 hate cards so I would appreciate they up the baseline toughness to cards like Mindspring Merfolk to a 1/2 otherwise it's unplayable. As a 1/2, I likely would play Mindspring across all formats because my options for a 1 drop Merfolk are incredibly low.

X/1 creatures need to be very high on power level or get immediate value to be competitive, which Mindspring Merfolk can't do as the ability is clunky and unlikely to be available in the first 5 turns of a game.

1 toughness creatures are gatekept out of the game by Bowmasters in addition to other 1 damage haymakers. But some x/1s do see play...

Mindspring Merfolk is a very cool card coming out of Aetherdrift but sadly dead on arrival in Modern and Legacy. Let's talk about it 🧵
