To celebrate the 8th night of Hanukkah, we adorned some homemade latkes with caviar, crème fraîche, and lox, and paired it with sparking rosé

On the board 🏆 with Premodern Stiflenought🦐 Added an extra land compared to stock lists, trimmed a Flash of Insight, moved some other things around to season the list to my tastes. It was expensive to get this deck in all old border, so I hope these 11 chests have the nuts!

1-6 in Premodern tonight. After years of basically just playing formats where I have expertise, it’s cool wading into a format where my lack of experience shows so clearly. I’m excited to keep learning the format and watch myself improve 💪

Some people use Magic Online to chase MOCS invites. Others use it for high-stakes testing. Some just want to play leagues in their underwear. I use it to set new personal records in Goatbots “suggested card swaps.”

Using the "Tempo Reanimator" deck building philosophy and instantly 5-0'd with this Tempo S&T deck. I don't think my exact card choices are optimal, but the archetype felt very good. You also get cute synergies of using Ancient Tomb to crack a Clue and stuff like that.

Riftbound seems interesting but I don’t even have the bandwidth to play Premodern, let alone learn and acquire cards for another game 😕

Here are 4 standard-legal cards I think are neat and make me happy when I get to play with and against them in non-rotating formats. "Designing for Eternal" is broke. Let the cool Magic cards trickle down to their forever homes.

It felt wrong to have won and top 4’d consecutive Vintage Champs events without owning one of these, so I decided to rectify that issue 🪷

🥈 Got 2nd place in the Friday Vintage Challenge with slightly teched Esper Lurrus Stony Silence over Null Rod because of Flame of Anor. Ironically lost the finals to a Flame of Anor deck while holding Stony Silence and missing white mana. So it goes 😬

Despite accidentally playing 2 Islands instead of Island Swamp, I managed to Top 8'd the Vintage Challenge, and then scooped the QF to go to July 4th stuff with the kiddos. Unsure if the pair of Tamiyo is better or worse than the pair of Bowmasters I cut to make room. They performed well enough 🤷‍♂️

Maxtortion @maxtortion.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

I’ve been thinking about the Legacy banlist… While I don’t necessarily want Entomb banned, I think an Entomb ban coupled with an unban of both Grief and Troll would be a net positive to the format. Scam/Reanimate games are generally more interesting & dynamic than Entomb/Reanimate games.
