Here's this week's streaming schedule!
This Wednesday is the #MTGATLA Streamer event and I'll be playing all day!

I'm also excited for Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty this weekend.
That's the set I got started streaming on! I won the Arena Open and hit Mythic 1 for NEO ^_^

Woot more Family Feud
November 10, 2025 at 3:03 AM
Congratulations Team Limited Creators, who won a close #MTG Family Feud with 155 points to Team Magic Jank's 151!

I had a ton of fun building and running this game, and I'll be making more content like this in the future. I may do something simpler like MTG Jeopardy while I work on something bigger

I'm live now to give people a chance to settle in. We're starting in just about 15 minutes!!!

MTG FAMILY FEUD is ready!

Sunday at 4:00MT I'm streaming my game show with 10 of my fave creators (To be listed soon)!

Come watch! If it's popular I'll continue to make content like this.

There's no stream schedule this week so I can prep, but I'll Cube whenever I am able!

Good News: I got a Green Screen!
Bad News: A startling number of my favorite shirts are green

Try thinking in packages when you cube.
1st-pick Strip Mine is great in aggro, but there's much cooler things you can do it!
You can recur it and want more lands in general (Crucibles/Depths/Courser)
Wheels are less symmetrical when your opponent has fewer lands (Narset/WoF/Leovold)
November 1, 2025 at 8:38 PM
You can wholly commit to an archetype if your enablers and plan are flexible
Here's a B03 trophy deck that actually is "Pure Reanimator"

Against Aggro, I would side in the cards on the right because I wanted Zuran Orb and Sylvan Safekeeper, which suddenly made the whole lands package viable!

I'll be sharing cube tips this weekend
As with "Pure" anything, "Pure Reanimator" is weak in a strong cube. Your discard outlets lean aggressive or controlling, and you want to pick accordingly for when your opponents bring in the hate pieces.

Inti/Ivora and Lili/Frantic are different backup plans

Having a blast with this cube after 10 drafts, with 4 B03 trophies, 4 B01 trophies, and Mythic rank 18.
Most everything works, but I don't think you can be aggro without a lot of cardflow or burn spells.

@fireshoes.bsky.social here's some of my trophy lists if you want to see what works!

Here's this week's streaming schedule!

I'll show people how to run the MTGA Powered Cube, maybe take a run at the Historic Qualifier, and farm some boxes! I managed 12 boxes in 14 runs for MH3, let's see if I can beat that for OTJ.

DM me if you want to sponsor some box runs!

TIL the "Dirty Kitty" combo deck isn't Copycat, Displacer Kitten, or Oven Cat, but a Goblin Storm deck with Empty the Warrens and Fecundity.

When Ben Stark was figuring out how to pilot a difficult combo turn at the 2006 World Championship, Scott Johns said "It's like watching a monkey wash a cat"

Streaming today at 2:30 (in 30 minutes)

I thought people might like to know how to approach a new, powerful cube

If you want to bootstrap things a little, this older article I wrote offers a different approach: thegathering.gg/cube-drafts-...

I know I said I was closing this, but if I can get 25 more responses it will save me a ton of math.

So a lot of Air Traffic Controllers are calling in sick, and I was thinking it might be cool of us to start a fund for them. They might be sick a long time and we could help them out for a bit, maybe until this government shutdown is over.

Even if it means Repubs can't fly until they pass a budget.

Thanks I hate it

Me: "Knowledge is the only weapon I have right now"

Peter: "Yes and you have to use every weapon at your disposal.

You taught me that when I ripped my pants"

"We played all this game new game music. There was one song where we got all these vocalists but they only sang one word.

Every once in a while they would shout 'Se-Py-Roth'"

Turns out my Dad, one of the world's best classical flute players, just played a Final Fantasy Orchestral concert
