One of Pixie's problems in the format right now is the card Cori-Steel Cutter. But you *could* play a very strong card against Cutter: Temporary Lockdown. There have been some Orzhov lists experimenting with this recently, but let's try playing Stock Up as well! www.twitch.tv/jointexplora...

Portland is fast approaching, and cft might be the most locked they've ever been on a deck before a paper event. That is to say, they have *many* opinions about Eldrazi, perhaps related to the deck name in the picture below. Let's play a league and talk about Eldrazi! www.twitch.tv/jointexplora...

Eldrazi continues to be quite interesting, and Portland is coming up quite quickly, so with MTGO nigh-unusable due to lag right now, we figured it'd be the perfect time to do some focus testing on Cockatrice! Join us as we figure out how the mirror works. www.twitch.tv/jointexplora...

The Phelia Overlord "Sewers" deck has been doing pretty well - what if we did the classic Sanctum maneuver and added a color? Eternal Witness fits right in, adding some Junk to these Sewers. Let's see if it's good! Going live now: www.twitch.tv/jointexplora...

Going live a bit late, and thus a bit shorter, but with quite some spice today! Wrath of the Skies and Phlage are quite powerful tools for a control deck. And yet, currently there aren't really popular control builds running around. Can *Hatching Plans* perhaps solve that?

You've heard of Eldrazi Breach, now get ready for... Eldrazi (Underworld) Breach! We continue to think Breach combo is one of the strongest shells in Modern, but it would be nice to hybridize it with a less hateable plan. Maybe spaghetti monsters are the answer. www.twitch.tv/jointexplora...

One of cft's theories about Modern Breach is that Tamiyo might be unplayable. So, what if we found some other legend for our Mox Opals? Let's see if Kinnan can let us combo faster! www.twitch.tv/jointexplora...
