trophy #8 in a row and into mythic, going from plat 4 to top 300 mythic in a week and under 10 drafts.

BorosBoss @borosboss.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Another trophy, up to 7 in a row. This is by far the most combo pilled of the decks so far, although I did manage a win or two off nemesis + goyf beatdown

BorosBoss @borosboss.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

trophy 6 in a row. Didn't ever draw time walk sadly, but got lucky with some good fastbond draws (let me t2 boo a couple times along with a t2 stripmine lock). Also was happy I got 1 upheaval win :)

I have trophied my last 5 arena cube drafts now, but this one is by far the most nonsense of them all. I have clearly been watching too many content creator streams/VODs. I need LSV to rate my Lurrus deck, as he has poisoned my decision making into forcing the Lurrus deck.

Ended up with a minor sinus cold after getting back from Dallas. It hasn't been all that bad, but this shit is just lingering forever.

Thank god. Alchemy overstayed it's welcome by years and it will be great to no longer worry about cards being nerfed alchemy versions in cube. LETS GOOOO!!!

I've tried to make the biotech specialist deck work multiple times in the last year. Would be cool if Baggins managed to push the card over the edge to be a real deck

BorosBoss @borosboss.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I've already fired off like 25 bullets in the arena direct, and head of the hunt is easily the card responsible for more losses than any other card. It's a tough card to try to play around in a format that wants you to race so much, especially when it's more likely the OP is just holding up removal

I have played a lot of Hobbit sealed in the last couple of days, but this is by far the most disgusting line I've had.

BorosBoss @borosboss.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Had a rough first day in the arena direct. Still 0 boxes firing about a dozen bullets. Can't quite put my finger on what I'm missing, but feels like I haven't figured out the format still. running about .500 in games, which it's a competitive environment, but still you hope to do a lot better

Is this just a better card than blasting jelly in pauper tron?

BorosBoss @borosboss.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

The current Arena cube is a really cool idea that is just ruined by Alchemy cards. The majority of Alchemy cards in the cube just play like MH3 cube cards: they aren't cool, fun or interesting, they are just generally stronger that all the other cards. Power creep is not good design

BorosBoss @borosboss.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

In the beginning, the bonus sheet was cool cuz it had a bunch of weird build around stuff to do in draft. Now the bonus sheet just makes limited worse, as every bonus just looks like 5 sweeper variants, 3 baneslayer variants, 2 giant ass dragons, SoFaI and Jitte...

The 4th of July has been my least favorite holiday as an adult, and it's significantly worse now that I work night shift. No chance of trying to sleep during my normal hours as people start shooting off fireworks at like 9am.

Does anyone know if there is a vendor that will be at MC Vegas that has really good stock of pauper cards I can order for pick up? I'm getting into the format with my friends, but we need a lot of odds and ends to complete a slew of decks.

BorosBoss @borosboss.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

I feel like every time they make updates to the arena vintage cube, they make it worse. They keep being like "we took out these good vintage cube cards cuz the decks are too good, here's random unplayable garbage to replace it"... but it's vintage cube so we still casting lotus and ancestral

The Dandan secret lair is the poster child of shit that’s wrong with magic and how WOTC dos business. Taking a cool way to play made by community members and turning it into money printing machine, then limited it so much that the people who want it can’t even get it.

Just checked final standings cuz I still have people I’m rooting for in the LCQ (let’s go Sam Black!) and it seems my opponent who knocked me out round 6 turned around and drew themself out of top 32. That’s as good a sign as any to be done with tournaments lol

BorosBoss @borosboss.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

I do already have plans to attend magic con Vegas, but not sure if I’m actually going to play any event that could qualify for anything. Might just spend the weekend hanging out and playing cube.

BorosBoss @borosboss.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

Died in the LCQ and that might be the end of my competitive magic journey. I’ll probably still play some on arena, but traveling for events just doesn’t seem worth it for me anymore. Games just haven’t really been enjoyable for me for a while now.

3-1 so far in the limited championship qualifier. Have a slightly above average elf deck with good mana, removal and a couple bombs but massively lacking in elves, especially devoid of good elf uncommons. Lost to Caleb D on an elf deck that had all the bodies I was lacking.

Forgot to take another pic after cutting the Harvester, but this was one of the easiest 7-0s I've ever had. Such a good mix of card draw, tutors and interaction. Had to back door the cutter + vivi win one game when breach was inquisitioned turn 1, but all other games easily got to full combo kill.

BorosBoss @borosboss.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Can someone explain how I failed to get a single collector box in like 10 bullets, but get an easy 7-0 with this shit pile in one go today? My only guess is arena match making decided my deck was so bad I should only play other bad decks.

Idk if there was anything to do with this pool, but it all looked pretty bad to me. Just decided to try to be moderately aggressive build as opponents will almost always have higher power stuff than I do. Maybe I’m just missing what the build was though

Ok Toronto players, I need a consult. How do we feel about splashing kithkeeper as a 4th color in a RUb sealed deck with good fixing? On paper kithkeeper seems like a good splash, but in practice it has largely disappointed in my experience

BorosBoss @borosboss.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Figured with the 5 hours we had for layover, might as well build a sealed pool for practice… Can’t say these 6 packs made for much practice 🙃

The more I play this limited format, the worse it feels. I wanted Lorwyn to be a good format so bad and it instantly had a leg up with all the nostalgia, but they really did the limited format dirty. It's almost impressive how bad they managed to get it.
