This was fun although the real play of the game would probably be Dom playing Prismatic Ending on Mana Crypt instead of Black Lotus 🤣

Glad to hear it! And thanks for the inspiration. Maybe another time under different circumstances!

Finished writing up my rather lengthy tournament report (inspired by @mrrepulse.bsky.social )for the #HOB Limited Championship Qualifier "I’m [Not] Going on an Adventure" moxfield.com/decks/43rxKs...

🏆4-0-2 into top 8 of the #HOB Brisbane Spotlight Limited Championship Qualifier. Then 2-0d the draft to make the finals, split the cash and gave my opponent the invite because I won't be able to make the Limited Champs anyway. Technically undefeated all day.

🏆 3-0 Adding a UB #HOB trophy! Stir Up Trouble paired nicely with all the card draw. Nobody else was blue in the draft Draft Log: www.17lands.com/draft/99893d...

🏆3-0 #HOB draft GBu midrange. Instead of focusing on a straight 2c curveout I splashed and played midrange cards like Wood Elves (good insurance against opposing Bent Blades) Deck was still able to curve out but was able to play either offence or defence Draft Log: www.17lands.com/draft/23a276...

My #NomadTierLiest predictions for #HOB A set where the individual power of cards matters more than their synergy. Non-synergistic removal will be worse than usual because of the amount of 2-for-1s. B/R>U>W>G Tier List: www.17lands.com/tier_list/8a...

#NomadTierList #SOS results. First time I've nailed the #1 common for every colour! W: c=3/4 u=1/2 U: c=3/4 u=1/2 B: c=1/4 u=0/2 R: c=3/4 u=2/2 G: c=3/4 u=1/2 Commons = 65% Uncommons = 50% Picked the best deck but majorly missed on WR and overrated BG.

🏆3-0 at our final #SOS #MagicMates draft with a fun WRu Restoration Seminar deck. Very lucky to beat @draftpunks.bsky.social in the finals who had an insane UR mill deck with Mathemagics, Tidecaller and 2x Expressive Iteration. My SB splash swap to black for Render Speechless won me that match.
011
Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
🏆A crucial 3-0 at tonight's #SOS #MagicMates draft with WRb clunkers. Forgot to photograph my sideboard but I brought in Nita R1, Vicious Rivalry + Forest R2 and 2nd swamp R3 vs Tidecaller. Played very well and got lucky.
010
Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
Another 2-1 at tonight's #SOS #MagicMates draft with a somewhat scrappy UG deck. Opened Geometry and Tidecaller but was seated next to a UR Tidecaller drafter so didn't have much wiggle room. Played an 18th land over a bad 23rd card. Couldn't fit my P3P1 Winds of Abandon in either.

Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
Loved this episode! Looking forward to drafting some red at last 😅

2-1 at tonight's #MagicMates #SOS draft with UGr. Lost a close finals 1-2 to Informed Inkwright, Practiced Offense and Subterranean Tremors. I had the chance to take Tremors or Critique P3P1 and not sure which was correct.

Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
2-0-1 at tonight's #MagicMates draft with RWu Mathemagics. Deck performed way better than expected and I played it really well. Particularly proud of winning against double Ark of Hunger by sculpting a game plan around finding and casting Mathemagics.

Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 27/06/2026
🏆3-0 at a Win a Mox Opal Vintage Cube draft (split the Opal with my finals OP). P1P1 Ajani (passing Flash), into Mana Crypt, Dungeoneer, Skullclamp (over Ancient Tomb) and off to the races. WR was contested but my strong cards were just really good. Person to my right opened 3 Moxen 🤯

4 drafts and 3 🏆 on day 1 of #MSH. Format has been fun so far although UW is way too open right now.

Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
1-2 at tonight's #MagicMates #SOS draft with an attempt at UG Small. Had some unfortunate draws and also a basic maths missplay that could have meant a 2-1 finish. Sided out the Archaic on the play a few times for mana consistency.

Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
1-1-1 at tonight's #MagicMates #SOS draft with Jeskai control. Was ahead in g3 but couldn't close in turns. Ended up replacing the Antiquities with a Landscape Painter because it wasn't great on the splash. Had the option of going full Whale/Tackle Artist but didn't think it was very good.

With over 6 months until the actual event I'm sure WoTC can afford to change their minds a few times before it actually happens 😆

🏆 3-0 at tonight's #MagicMates #SOS draft with single rare Silverquill. P1P1 Scolding Administrator, got passed Traumatic Critique but correctly read that there was a UR drafter to my right and stuck to WB. Could have been BG but chose not to. Had a quadruple Interceptor match in the finals 😆

Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
Be the change you want to see! On another note I'd highly encourage you to consider rare redraft. It's another incentive to draft a good deck without needing to worry about value. It's the norm in Australia but most places in the world I've been don't do it.
110
Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
Bad luck... Best of 1 is a brutal format. I also had a 4-2 before a miracle 5-2 the next attempt. Most important thing is to feel like you played well!

Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
Thanks Mike! Appreciate all that luck that got me there haha.

Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
Actually I miscounted (Trove only taps for 1 mana) so I didn't have lethal Mathemagics after all. I don't think there was actually a way for me to win that game after all.

Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
Drafted a completely busted deck for #SOS ALCQ draft 2 for 5-2 and some 💲. Faced an interesting choice in the final match which I might have messed up. If I draw an untapped land and they don't destroy Lute I win. www.17lands.com/history/484d... Draft Log: www.17lands.com/draft/484d73...

7-1 in my 2nd #SOS ALCQ attempt (also with WR). Card filtering better than ever in Bo1. Finally got to do the Postmortem Professor splash (after just listening to @sampratt.bsky.social on Rough Drafts) and it was really good at giving me late-game grind. Draft Log: www.17lands.com/draft/cfabd1...

So - we have seen all the signpost uncommons for Marvel - time to do an "in vacuum" assessment. Mind reader - I cover limited so no need to get angry that card I said was good is rubbish in Legacy, OK? Let's dive into them. 1/10

1-2 at tonight's #MagicMates #SOS draft with my attempt at GB beatdown. Didn't have enough removal to back it up and the Royal Treatments didn't help break through board stalls.

I've just started doing this too, interested to see what it turns up and whether it matches my theories as to what the strongest cards/archetypes are. The sample size is going to be very small though haha

🏆 3-0 with 5c Stallion soup but the real trophy goes to my epic finals match against my Silverquill opponent who had Moment of Reckoning, Antiquities on the Loose and Restoration Seminar. G3 ended after I attacked all, then didn't counter Antiquities predicting they had Interjection for the win.

Nomad @nomad-mtg.bsky.social · 25/05/2026
2-1 at tonight's #MagicMates #SOS draft which felt like a win. Had a heavy UR start to the draft but WR was more open. Moved into Jeskai control but lacked ways to win so ran a Bulk Up/Whale package with meagre protection. Brush Off MVP.
