If I were to make Magic content to help POC get into competitive magic. What would you like to see? Also on that note. What do you feel or see as barriers that keep you from playing comp mtg. I'm all ears.

Back to back Eternal Weekend NA wins and not even mentioned in the BnR is an interesting choice.

I think what frustrates me here is the lack of discussion on Forge Combo/The One Ring in the article.

I still believe the timing was really off here, and EW EU/Asia will certainly be... something.

I am so sad about this announcement. Nadu was the most fun I've had in legacy since top was banned. Also Nadu and UB reanimator were two of the only decks that had decent forge matchups. Maybe people are able to point more hate at that deck now but otherwise not knocking it down seems wild to me.

Ok.. today's the day. Final predictions?

For me,
Vintage: no changes

Legacy: entomb, Nadu (please no), kozileks command. Watch oops

Modern: nothing, maybe analyst but I don't it mid season.

Pioneer. Lol

Standard: Vivi, cauldron, profts

I went a mediocre 4-3 in the @dmvlegacyleague.com classic. Wanted one last event with my favorite Avian creature. Event was great. Nice opponents, excellent vibes, and good turnover time. Only thing lacking was a few more wins.

@yungdingo.bsky.social was also kind enough to return to the talk about the upcoming BNR and his recent self imposed trophy challenge. You can find the episode below, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

I wrote a little opinion piece about the upcoming Banned and Restricted list update on 11/10. I haven't written anything but D&D campaigns and scientific documents much since college. Give it a read if you'd like and I'd love to know your thoughts if you have any.

I voted
Voted today. I strongly encourage everyone with the ability to vote in their local elections to do so. Your individual impact is so much larger on the local level than the federal one.

@tcgplayer.com I sold something on your site. (I know, I know)

You guys deactivated my account, won't pay me and won't respond to my emails. What gives? Can I get some help.

@optimustom.bsky.social Apex, NRG, and MXP all ran large modern events this weekend. Any chance you were planning to do a breakdown?
November 3, 2025 at 2:01 PM
And only 5 people showed up.
I've got an rcq today, am I supposed to play marauding mako or duelist of the mind?

Why?

Over my past two major events,I recorded a bunch of YouTube shorts. Going to finally start getting them uploaded. Would love it if you'd give them a view.

And don't forget those like and subscribe buttons. Free for you, huge for me

I was having a back and forth conversation with somebody. Then they send me a link to a job I may be interested in and it buries it in spam. Glad I happened to look

Friendship with malevolent rumble ended. Dryad of the Ilysian Grove is my new (old) best friend.

Deck was great. Numbers were almost random though and you should not copy this 75
