The far right being opposed to the Labour budget doesn't mean the budget is good.

Storm of Memories is pretty busted tbh.
Every time I've cast it, I play my entire deck that turn. Usually turn 2-3.

I pioneered the fair black hate bears style deck a few years back and it just got some amazing upgrades
Obsessive Search is the best Phyrexian Arena variant we've got now. It's really strong and will be in a bunch of decklists. Mai is solid too
Video of this deck will be out on Tuesday

A friend of mine was at a store and a new player was there talking about 40k Ad Mech and was like "what are your favourite big robots to play?" And they had to explain we only have one robot in 40 k. :'(

With the first week of our new #MTGLegacy meta, let's take a look at the data from the Challenge level events!
Oops won 60% of the events and massively over-performed,
Turbo Reanimator had it's best weekend for like 2 years with a huge over-rep rate from 3 top 8s.

Facebook decided to show me my favourite 6 Pokémon from 3 years ago. I think only three of these make my current list.

This is in fact, my favourite owl and one of my top 10 animals.
It's the Northern white-faced owl, and when it's threatened by something large it makes itself thin to look like a cat. When it's threatened by something not so large, it puffs itself up.
It's basically three owls in one!

There's an anonymous local in my area who keeps knitting increasingly extravagant things to put on top of post-boxes, however the locals have given them a nickname that makes me snigger every time I see it...

Entomb has finally stopped getting away with it!
2 bans is what I described as the "bare minimum" they could get away with. Not touching Tamiyo nor The One Ring seems like we're going to be left wanting by the next BnR yet again.

A slightly different visualization of how much UB Reanimator has been over-performing in #MTGLegacy.
Even though it's played a lot, it's over-performing.
How long will Entomb keep getting away with it?

FINAL WEEK OF LEGACY DATA THIS SEASON!
We've had 19 weeks since the last BnR and we have the BnR later today. Here is the data of how it's been going.
The blue line is how many Top 8's UB Reanimator would have gotten based on meta share alone. The red line is it's actual performance!
