And I should probably post the two trophies of the roto we did in my discord. We didn't finish the playoff, but these were the decks with the best record in their respective pod

2025 was actually such a banger for limited (still a little early for TLA, but this is my best guess)
1. TDM
2. FIN
<gap>
3. TLA
4. DFT
<gap>
5. EOE
(SPM not even worth ranking)
notably the top 4 here clear every 2024 set besides DSK for me

I mostly rank these on their Limited formats, and 1 - 5 are all pretty tightly packed.
1. Final Fantasy
2. Edge of Eternities
3. Avatar
4. Dragonstorm
5. Aetherdrift
6. A cosmic gap
7. Spider-Man

Put the sets from 2025 in order from best to worst.
We have 6 sets:
Aetherdrift
Tarkir: Dragonstorm
Final Fantasy
Edge of Eternities
Spider-Man

Marc's thoughtful sideboarding always makes me feel like a little zoomer bo1 ladder baby
Hosted a second (of 2) Worlds prep money drafts last night for the locals who were qualified. With over half the table heading to Washington at the end of the week, it was a tough pod full of ringers. My favourite!

I've been on a bit of a hot streak with BW, so this week I'm diving deep on the archetype. We're looking at why white is the best color, why black is the worst, and what you get when you combine the two.

Color pair power in limited depends on many factors. One of them is colour pair "depth" - availability of good commons in a pod. That's what we are exploring today. Here are all the non-land commons for each of the 10 color pairs in Avatar plotted by Game in Hand WR rank.

I'm 4/4 on WB trophies in my first 15 drafts. The white cards are all just like, pretty good, and black has a lot of insane rares that I keep getting passed. I'm taking Tolls of War super highly at this point

Normal limited is back! I'm so excited to jump into TLA, and talk through my thoughts on each of the bending mechanics as well as the set as a whole.

Last month, I sat down and talked Magic with limited enthusiast and former Canadian National Champion Marc Anderson @neo-mtg.bsky.social! We dive into some highlights of his pro career, discuss how limited has changed over the years, and talk a little cube too.

This week I'm recapping a couple Rotisserie drafts of my cube! I had a blast roto drafting with friends last month, so I'm going into detail on how to run one, reviewing my own draft, and pitching why this format is so much fun.
Also youtube has video!
