Somehow this deck, that looked like a trainwreck to me, managed to 3-0. Really weird powered cube things...

In case anyone wants a fun standard brew: here's what I've been running this month - RG Specialist. I'm 38-13 so far from plat-mythic this season with an 80% win rate vs izzet.

Sorry for no streams this week. Been a busy week at work and needed a break in the evenings. Back to normal schedule next week!

Through the omenpaths sealed is... interesting. Feels like a core set almost with a few broken mythics thrown in. Overall, not the greatest experience for limited, but playable. On the plus side, I did 3 sealed runs on stream and managed to trophy 2 of them. 💪

Sorry for no stream tonight. Had a long day and didn't have the energy for it. Should be back again Thursday! Maybe a weekend stream to make up for it?

Managed to qualify on the sealed Bo1 play-ins. Pretty sweet GW deck. Hope my standard deck doesn't auto lose to vivi...

Managed to trophy 2 out of the 3 drafts on stream tonight, but wanted to share the first one because it is an awesome weapons manufacturing rakdos draft! Had to do it for the memes after I saw weapons manufacturing second pick.

So my draft deck in the open was a trainwreck. Just poor drafting by me. Ended 1-3 so no draft 2. 😢 Oh well, there's always next time.

Maybe I am finally figuring out EoE draft? Really enjoying this format more than final fantasy. Feels like there is always a chance to come back from anything. Not a lot of unanswerable bombs.

Going to try to start consistently streaming on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Either Mario or MTG - whichever I am in the mood for at the time. Better than never streaming I guess? Probably short streams at least at first ~7pm-9pm EST.

That's a wrap on the Final Fantasy Mosh Pit!

LavaAxe took it down with Dimir Midrange vs Gaiden on Selesnya Enchantments!

Check out the rest of the top 8 decks below!

NGL, I was worried that this event wasn't going to go well with it being my first paid event but I'm happy with how it turned out!

Managed to make mythic right before Final Fantasy dropped so I can focus on limited the rest of the month. Little late to try out my build, but it was a fun GB delirium list I managed to go 24-6 with to get from platinum to mythic. List in the alt text.

Despite not enjoying current standard, 3 years was (obviously) a mistake, I think I've found something that is competitive. Managed a 28-11 record with RW cage going from plat to mythic. Frontline rush with warleader's call and mobilize creatures can kill out of nowhere.

After a bunch of tries at the open yesterday I finally had a good pool and managed to 7-0. Except wait... one of the wins didn't get recorded. *Proceeds to 0-3 after*. I put in a support ticket, but looks like no response. I was so tilted after that 3rd loss. I guess no day 2 for me.😢

Guess I'll try again next month. Pool was much weaker than day 1 and I struggled with building it.

Lucked into a great pool for day 1 of the qualifier. Managed to squeak out a 7-2. Crossing my fingers my day 2 pool is just as good.

Arena Cube is back! A quick 7-0 is a great way to kick it off!

Finished 3-3 in the qualifier. I had some extremely bad luck with land draws so I'm disappointed with that finish. Really enjoying the deck though (mono G wagon). Deck has great matchups vs everything except the red decks. If you want to go with the plan "try to avoid red" it's a great choice.

0-1 ed the second draft. Didn't get a pick of my deck, but was GW with 2 wraths. Played pretty poorly g1 and wrathed too early. Took it to very late game, but needed to find the second one to win and never did. G2 I just flooded out. Ah well... There's always next time!

Day 2 draft 1 report: I wasn't super happy with my deck, but it could win games if the opponent stumbled. Started 0-1, but managed to rattle off 3 in a row to make it into draft 2 at 3-1. Still alive!
March 2, 2025 at 4:26 PM
Got there on my third try in the arena open. Had a sick gruul deck.

Another month of playing too much MTG... At least aetherdrift draft is a lot of fun even though standard is way too high powered right now. Thanks 3 year rotation! /s

Time for some aetherdrift drafting. twitch.tv/therealgadien
