Moneyball Black, the only deck I brought to #Lobstercon 2026 I went 4-5 in the main event, but had a very good run in the Enemy Fetchland side event, going 7-1-2. Finished in 5th place out of 71 players. Match-ups in the comments Thanks to Duress Crew for hosting another amazing Lobstercon 👏👏

First time playing #Premodern since the Tide ban. Won a counter war with Thwart vs Landstill. Won vs Burn through two REBs and a Mogg Salvage. Won on a mull to 4 against Junk (guess which four cards I kept). This deck is still absolutely nuts 🙃 🌊🌊 Landstill 🌊🌊 Burn 🌊🌊 Junk

Finally finished my Dreadnought play-set and took them straight into a 4-0 run in the NYC weeklies 🌊🌊 Replenish 🌊❌🌊 Landstill 🌊🌊 RG Goblins 🌊🌊 Burn G2 vs Burn I mulled to 4 on the draw. I played through two Overloads in one turn, and still had a Daze for Fireblast. Deck is too strong 🙃 #premodern

3-0 / 6-0 tonight with Jund Wildfire. I’ve gone 2-0 into 2-1 with Jund so many times that I was nervous as hell in the last game. Finally closed one out 😭 🔥🔥 High Tide 🔥🔥 Walls Combo 🔥🔥 Red Madness Also, shout out to Victory Point in Jersey City, now part of the NYC Pauper League! #mtgpauper

Another 3-0 at the Manhattan weekly with the best deck! Mulled to 4 in two games that I won. I played too loose in my last round, missing Wellwisher activations and making a bad attack. Sometimes I play sloppy when Im ahead. Still a lot to work on! 🧝‍♂️❌🧝‍♂️ Walls 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♂️ Spy Walls 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♂️ White Weenie #mtgpauper

Also, NYC’s next big tournament is Sept 6th. It would be hype to have some upstate players there if any of y’all can make it! I know our scenes have many miles between, but it’s awesome to see Pauper growing so much in NY. Would love for us to be able to have a USA ‘geddon-size event someday in NY

ferret @friendlyferret.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

Hell yeah, nice results!! 👏👏 Were you on Mono Green or Multicolor Elves? Do y’all have the next big upstate tournament scheduled yet? I’m gonna make it up there for one eventually. Just gotta make a weekend trip out of it.

3-0 at the Manhattan Pauper weekly. Elves continues to perform. I love this deck and it’s been great into the NYC meta. Also, importantly, green cards = cool cards 💚 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♂️ - U Fae 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♂️ - Altar Tron 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♂️ - Affinity #mtgpauper

3-0d the Manhattan Pauper weekly last Tuesday. I can remember years of showing up for 4-8 player weeklies…we had 34 for Pauper this time! So huge! Love to see the format growing.

Please stand for the pledge! 3-0 at the Brooklyn Pauper Weekly with White Weenie. Caw Gate hasn’t been working so well lately, so I thought WW was worth trying again. Cool creatures, damage prevention, alpha strikes, what more do you want? 🕊️🕊️ Affinity 🕊️❌🕊️ U Terror 🕊️🕊️ UB Fae #mtgpauper

TimberWATCH Elf? In NYC we call him TimberLAND Elf! Putting the boots on ‘em 🥾💥 3-0 at the Manhattan Pauper weekly. Elves is the only deck I’ve managed to 3-0 with all season. It’s such a great deck.

Earthquake has won me games that I otherwise would have had no way to win. Sometimes you just need a Fireball. Earthquake is better than a second Pyroclasm in the main since it’s still a live card in all matchups

Back-to-back 3-0s in the Pauper weeklies with Elves. (Let’s not talk about what happened in the NYC Pauper Open) One thing I like about Elves, you pair into your bad matchups and just win anyway.

It’s real as hell when Lan and friends are piloting it. Two 6-3s and a 7-2 at Lobstercon, which I think made it one of the best performing decks on win rate. Lan also won our Win-a-Mox tournament with it last year. Seems really strong to me

G3. SWB played a Turn 3 Attunement, confirming (in game three) that I’m playing against Lan D Hoath 💀 Have you ever played against three different decks in one round? Had to Tide / Chain combo him twice to win this one. I feel like a piloted all my games a little messy, but Tide took the wheel 🌊

G2. I sideboard as if I was playing against Terrageddon. I got to land an early Tide / Chain combo and SWB scooped quickly.

Bumbling my way through Round 3 vs @swbmtg.bsky.social G1. Kept a hand I thought would be okay vs 12/12 (which I saw him playing in warm ups...fell for the decoy deck). Saw basic Plains and thought I could get away with a Standstill. Instantly punished by a Treetop Village followed by a Wasteland

Took down the Premodern weekly on UW Tide 🏆 Haven’t 3-0’d a weekly since March. Been getting whooped in the finals every time 🙃 This week I played like a donkey, while pairing into all killers, and still somehow got there.

Calls come in Vs Goblins and most other go-wide decks. Also in against decks with Swords to Plowshares and sometimes Burn depending on vibes. Most of the time that means cutting some land destruction and maybe Spheres. Basically Call is you switching from midrange/prison to full on midrange

Also a portrait deck pic fan, but I’ve been trying to go with a more squat portrait format this year, inspired by mtgdojoera’s pics from Instagram. Liking it so far, though you get a little less card art.

Depends on the matchup. Against Kuldotha I sided out a couple Glee and three Rumbles to go more midrange. I like this build much better than the Wildfire builds. I’ve had to mulligan way less trying to fix mana with this build vs the Wildfire one.
