#mtgEOE is here!
Here's my ranking in terms of pick orders, 3 commons, 2 uncommon per colour and a bonus mutli-colour.
First thoughts on the format is that B and G are the best colours, followed by U, W then R.

First draft of #mtgEOE. 3-0 (6-0) Pollinators is where it's at!
That and survey mechans....

Made the front page!
The worst of the best.
📯I am pleased to announce the winner of the Final Fantasy #P0P1 Challenge:

🎇Oophies🎆

Nailing the best #2CUDS, hitting on White Auracite, and picking most of the strongest commons in each color did the trick!

Roster:
W: Slash of Light
U: Dragon's Wyvern
B: Vayne's Treachery
R: Thunder Magic
G: Chocobo Kick
Colorless: Gohn (BG land)
Wildcard: Ice Magic
Uncommon: Cloud of Darkness
R: Jenova

Putting my eggs in the BG basket!
Let's go!
Think you know Limited?

It's time for the Final Fantasy #𝐏𝟎𝐏𝟏 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞!

Basically: pick 8 cards (1 common of each color, 1 non-mono common, 1 other common, and 1 #2CUDS), with the goal of maximizing their collective GIH Win Rate on @17lands.bsky.social‬.

#mtgTDM, time to tally up the scores [C | U]:
W: 3/4 | 2/4
U: 1/4 | 1/4
B: 2/4 | 2/4
R: 3/4 | 3/4
G: 4/4 | 3/4
Common: 65%
Uncommon: 55%

Failed to recognise that for TDM Power >> Synergy hence some carsd underperforming (looking at you Essence Anchor). I also tend to under-evaluate aggro cards.
#mtgTDM Top common / uncommon prediction --> 🧵
More into the value-mechanics (renew / harmonize) than the tempo-aggro (flurry-mobilise). Endure is caught in between, where the default for me is to make the token, but most of the payoffs are about counters.

3-0 #mtgTDM prerelease with Temur (really UG splash RB).
Dagu Wildlings continue to over perform. Temur battlecaster also a lot better than I thought.

3-1-1 at First #mtgTDM competitive pre-release with a Gb-x deck. Splashing for Elspeth, the sultai mystic snake and some removal.
4colors featuring 15lands and 3 sagu dragons. Was still flooding.
Sets seems to be value game.

MTG AetherDrift draft 1-2 with WB Splash Green.
No trophy deck but a pretty fun game when you can tutor for either your bomb, a reanimation spell or a boardwipe.

1-2 at Magic mates #mtgDFT draft with WU splashing red for the sweepers. Deck felt great and all close matches.
February 10, 2025 at 11:15 AM
3-0 pre-release with RG in #mtgDFT. The goes fast out of the gate with the one drop goblin doing decent work. The 5 drop 4/5. Reach is the MVP common here. Lightning strikes got side out against the artifact deck for broken wing and sky crash.
Excited to draft this set!
