I wrote an article on a topic that's been in the back of my mind for a while now: deckbuilding fallacies in Magic. Gameplay fallacies get talked about a lot, but these are equally important. Link in replies!

Can’t believe I get to say this: I will be joining @fanatics as a TCG Designer. My involvement with Magic has completely altered the course of my life – I hope to pay that forward to the players of our future games.

Between recruit, amass and specific cards, the Hobbit feels like it has the highest density of 1/1s of any limited set ever (especially since it's a small set). Curious what the ramifications will be

We ended 12th place with a much better day 2 pool. These continue to be the best tournaments of all time hoping for more soon

6-2 in Brussels with @etelspoon @eswaff72 We didn’t open a busted pool for once, so was quite pleased to scrap into day2. High expectations for tomorrow my team is broken🫡

Decklist Thread Day 1 (6-2): Zev played a cool 2x Cloak and Dagger, 2x Sentry build, I got a nice UR, and Neil took peaceful sorcery speed WG.

Top 4 of the spotlight with the besties, all according to plan. Felt amazing to have team chemistry and limited fundies pay off. Decklist thread coming tomorrow nitter.cf/etelspoon/status/20715…

Day 2 (5-1): More difficult build but also even stronger. Zev got the unique Jund villains deck and Neil and I ran back very similar decks to the day before. Except, this time, I had a THIRD bomb in Thor and Neil got instants.

Semis (got swept): Extra-scrappy team draft without much power opened. Our plan of taking every two-drop proved critical, as we still struggled to find enough. Zev drafted the Abzan, I had white black, and Neil drafted UR on feature
