Oh yeah, it's so fun to play magic when all of my cards have the same name and frame and you basically can't even tell what the mana cost is. ๐คข๐คข๐คข

Vintage Cube top 100 pick order.
6 tiers, all cards are sorted in the order I would pick them. I spent a few hours thinking about this.
Sorry for the weird arts, thats what MTGO gave me when I imported the full list.
I was trying to talk my European friends into playing
@MTG_Arena
Open Sealed this weekend. So I switched my account from USD to EUR and turns out everything is ~20% more expensive for them if they dont change the account default. Ok then
@wizards_magic
what a great way to scam!
Wow, just achieved one of my biggest goals in life! Vintage Cube draft where 3-0 gets $20000 incoming!!!! :OOOO
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Winning a tournament feels so good!
I have been playing a lot of cube and decided to do another tier list. This time it's simply sorted within the colors. I'm pretty happy with ~top20 in each, after that it gets muddy, but if you think some card is more than 5 slots off let me know in the comments what you think!
Im the random guy in a top4 of a tournament. Feelsgoodman
No expectations, just gonna have fun tomorrow :) .
Shoutout to everyone, team 50% is just too sick to be part of!

I feel like I never tune into coverage because of the casters. Yet, the Viewers Guide hype article is always promoting them and saying basically nothing about the players.
Why not hype up the players instead I want to know who are in the field and bringing the sweetest brews?
1st in Standard challenge๐ฅณ๐
Deck felt good vs Omnath piles. I put it together today in the morning and these were my first games of the format so some obviously bad decisions like 2nd Ugin and that 2drop should be a better land.
Matchups in reply.
Before submitting Convoke,
@Mengu09
and I almost locked on this under the premise of โwhat if we preboard vs Esper and Convoke since they will be the most played decks and then have a genius sideboard vs Lands and Control?โ
Then we dismissed because Esper % cant be that high
Back in my hotel room after playing LCQs all day. Go there on 3rd try after losing in finals twice before. Tomorrow I can continue on my life long dream of trying to become Canadian Regional Champion. ๐ค๐ฆซ๐

Relive highlights from the '23 Pro Tour scene as the players who made it talk about their paths to the biggest stage in competitive Magic!
Magic needs a Vintage Cube World Championship, need to play Cube to qualify and lot of cube at the tournament. I want to know who is the actual best in the World!
4th Place at
#MTGWorlds
! Nathan is the World Champion. I'm so happy and grateful. So many people to thank. The whole team is just crushing it event to event, you're all magic gods!
My first takes on the changes to Vintage Cube in a ๐งต.
Rating scale is from 1 (I disapprove) to 5 (I approve).
Yorion > Soulherder - 4 - Soulherder seems like an interesting card, yorion was playable but quite underpowered. I don't mind this at all.
๐งตtyping live as I go:
These arena qualifiers almost feel like PTs: Arne loses to Tangrams. Tangrams loses to Shota. Shota loses to Jaberwocki. only like 14-15 players qualify via getting 7 wins in day 2 because the structure is so difficult (87.5% winrate required over two 8 round tournaments).
@MarcTobiasch
Do you still not get that your opponent literally won a PT Amsterdam invite in that last round? That means that now if they don't day2 in seattle they can still play another PT after that. Not to talk about how the points are crucial to qualify for Worlds.
I feel for the person who did not get a concession.
But I am very happy for the person who got 12th thanks to that draw :)
Making that kind of agreement is lame.
Not keeping your word is even more lame.
I wish wizards would have rules that would disallow concessions and IDs.
@raff_sputin
@drewlevin
@masoneclark
This ruling would be insane and i would be shocked if that's how it would get ruled at the PT. You have to use some common sense in these spots the advantage gained is just way too huge.
I dont feel pressure for the PT anymore. Could it be because I am 14-0 in LATAM Challenge, guaranteed 4k? ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
Biggest top8 in my life, I think this tops GP top8.
Thanks

Top4 in Modern Showcase, went 6-0 in swiss (I played out scooped r6).
Deck felt really good, love all the updates we did with
@KingofTraitors
! Honestly the best person to test with ever!
Had an awesome tournament to end at 11-5 for 14th. I'm happy with how I played today and very excited for this amazing top8, lot of players who well deserve it!
#PT
Listened to the LR Sunset show and got nostalgic, because this set is probably the best I have ever drafted. Would easily give Dominaria United an A+ grade. Will miss it a lot.
๐งต
Modern is a great format! Hadn't played it since the MOCS, deck is still broken. 4-0 prelim.
WW Creativity, I won die roll
WW Hammer, I won die roll
WLW Calibrated Blast, I won die roll
WW Boomer Jund, I won die roll

5 minute delay and fairly quiet so I can concentrate, like, retweet and tag your friends who you think might learn from this๐
33rd aka first out of money after scooping last round (they got 12th :3 ) . Having chinatown close to the venue was a blessing, but weather is turning bad so time to flee back to Colombia! Was good times in ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ต and lucky they added more invites so Ginky can be in Amsterdam๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ

Given that twitter is the literal nut low for having an actual conversation then I'm gonna say that Complaining about Sealed is basically the same as complaining about the rigged shuffler.
I think you can have a bigger edge in sealed than in most other competitive formats.
Opening Treasure Chests is fun. Opening packs on Magic Arena is not.
It's not about opening digital packs vs paper packs, its just the lack of trading in the card game.
.
@MtgJulian
figured it out in discord. Playing a lot of draft and always drawing the card that was surveiled to top post Deadly Cover Up I got paranoid so we tested it and turns out the card never shuffled the library๐ .
Sorry niv players trying to beat reservoir from Amalia.
Paper magic is not related to MTGO imo. Modo is more popular than ever because of how bad arena is managed and how great of a job daybreak is doing despite the lack of invites etc. allocated by wotc. Also 10-15% of the field is probably swapping QPs for 6 boosters of product.
I am once again asking
@PlayMTG
to give us real PTQs on Magic Online. The fact that this awards 4 RC invites when there's some 20-person 2-slotters is still ridiculous.
I remember my first Worlds when they announced the draft pod and it was JED, JMM, Yuta, Shoota among others in my pod. I got really excited because I knew it was an great opportunity to prove that I belong! Today I feel I want a pod like that again.
#PTOTJ
5 'Realistic' things I would change with MTG Arena:
#1
Tournaments. I would add Daily Events with a big one EVERY weekend or maybe even 2 per weekend.
Even if I spend a week or two to learn to play Alchemy or Historic then its 1 weekend and I dont play it again for 3 months.
Top8 in Pioneer showcase challenge. Komattaman wanted it more today haha. Huge fan of the japanese legends!
Thanks everyone who helped testing!๐ค๐ค๐ค

I'm playing Magic full time. How is
@mtg_arena
so bad that during the last set I opened 26 boosters and played 92 games only???
Like how do you have no reason for extremely enfanchised players like me to open your game?
Probably my deck for the NRG and Arena PTQ tomorrow.
Tried many things, nothing impressed.
UW, Phoenix and Food are the tier 1 decks.
A lot of tier 2 decks exist though which have favorable matchups vs some of the top decks.
Chose the one I enjoy and know most.
@fireshoes
2nd in Standard Showcase, 5-2 on arena.
In general I think this deck is quite good in the metagame right now and unlike Worlds its way easier to win if you dont have to care about how much time your opponents are using and can basically always play out 3 games till the winner.

@KyleCarlson6
Respectfully, this mostly annoying me during booster draft after I picked 5 prosperities and I have to parse what they are, often they even have the exact same mana cost.
Sometimes I just wake up and feel sad because I can't participate in a Regional Championship, because realistically I don't belong in a region.
Wish there was an RC in my true region. Magic Arena.
Sometimes you have to submit a deck on your birthday. Thanks a lot to

Worlds is difficult!
Had a really sweet UW draft deck for 3-0 and then 1-3 in standard with winning the last round win and in.
I'd like to 2-1 or better the draft again and I really dont care about standard let the chips fall wherever they may.
I was murdered at Karlovs Manor.
2-5 is a disappointing personal record, but proud of the team and also no longer have a 0% lifetime winrate in pioneer ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ๐ซ ๐ซ ๐ซ

@GamingStadiumCS
2k.
This deck is solid. Clear shot, don't play it if you don't want to but it's a fine card, i think the level between that and inscription is quite similar. I like full 8 man lands and please play 4 wrenn, it's too good not to.
South America is way too big to have this tournament in the same location every time.
Buenos Aires deserves it at least once a year and as someone who lives in Colombia I wish I ever had the event closer than a 8h flight.
As excited as I could be for the Worlds
Huge shoutout to

Split the finals of Standard Challenge. Deck inspired by

versions.
Also, thanks to my team

Now need to figure out what to play in historic and trying to take down Red Bull Week of Wings next weekend.
Cashed 0 times last year, got $1000 with the first one of the year.
Beat Bonehoard Dracosaur+Bat God in the match for a grand. Could not defeat mana flood in the finals tho.

Submitted the
#MOCS
decklist. I kind of like my choice and I think it will be fun, but I am definitely not confident in modern.
The downtime hindering the testing was also kind of upsetting but part of it is my fault for leaving it on last minute. 1/x
5-2 in Historic with Humans. Big love to everyone who worked on the deck
@kuismatti
@MrChecklistcard
and rest of the team.
Feelbad to knock out teammate in last round but such is life. Stefan's future is bright no doubt
4/8 in top8 is our team! This is such an insane tournament!
In Vintage there seemed to be a brief moment where Doomsday was not considered clearly the best deck, hence we have decided to unrestrict Ponder๐๐๐
@RodneyBedell
Thats a pretty random take. Worlds should be where we see people play the best possible magic with the best possible deck. Honestly wotc should just give people the decks they submit for the tournament. Not even having vendors on thursday at player registration is pretty sad.
Ended Worlds at 7-6-1 and 37th. I'm at peace with my result, bjt mostly I am super excited for Anthony and Simon, one time take it down boys!!! ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Finally got the big Trophy, now I can retire from cube until after Worlds!
Both decks were great, the 5c deck that I got in the 2nd draft was obviously way more fun! ๐
