0-2 in the Arena event, lost the second game against mardu knights who landed a Tournament Grounds turn 1 which allowed him to cast all of his spells by turn 3. I guess greed pays off in BO1.

i just went 5-2 in the mtg arena thing because the card i chose to scry to the bottom in my mulligan decided to change after i scryed, mana screwing me. sweet client. edit: also my no rares deck has gone up against golos field three times in a row in the play queue, glad things are fun today.

edit: okay the play queue algorithm must have changed massively because my one rare one mythic deck is facing nothing but meta decks

I'm going to try the challenge with golos field. Playing against it in the queue it just seems to grab the game by the neck if it gets a turn 5+.

4-2 with jeskai fires, at least I got a free Brazen Borrower out of it, lost to the Grixis Fires and to Golos (which is 80% of the decks participating), second one because I missed the window to click Cavalier.

5-2 with WBr Meow Mix. Seeing Midnight Reaper on the other side of the board really helped my plan of dealing them 1 damage anytime anything happens ever. Mayhem Devil slotting into food deck really stepped all over my fun. Whoever decided that it should trigger for both players saccing will be getting no cat cakes from me.

I went 4-2 with the Golgari Adventures deck that won the MPL Split yesterday. Happy enough with that in a 50% winrate format. Lost to Rakdos Sacrifice and Grixis Control. Got a Lovestruck Beast and a Rankle in my rewards, too.

Bo1 should be open decklist. It's online, how hard is it to show us what our opponent's deck is? This is why magic isn't played Bo1! It only works in Hearthstone because you can tell what your opponent is playing by their avatar.

1-2 with jeskai fires. My first 2 games were against aggro that got to go first, but the 2nd guy misplayed hard. Game 3 I thought was a mirror match until they pulled out 3 maindeck absorb + mass manipulation.

6-2'd the arena event with Cavalcade.

First loss because I didn't realize how spitfire worked, second was because I didn't shock a goose when I had the opportunity.

2-2 with simic ramp. I liked the list a bit more than bant and it was a blast to play.
My two losses were pretty close too. First win even had me lying both oko and Nissan then playing a 32/33 voracious hydra the turn after.

Need more wildcards to make it though.

It's literally a Bird, though I suppose Shock isn't a Bolt so you didn't automatically know to Bolt the Bird.

Yup. The main thing keeping me from even thinking about that deck is the high likelihood of a ban of expensive cards. Ancient stirrings or faithless looting would set you back under $10 for a playset. Mox Opal is $450 for your playset. That's too much risk on an obvious ban target. I don't expect it next announcement tomorrow, but it'll be soon unless someone finds a solution to the Urza family of decks rather quickly.

Golos Field feels absolutely busted. Also what the hell were they thinking with Oko, that card is straight unkillable if you don't Murderous Rider it.

they really should have loving printed it into the ground like Tarmogoyf so they don't have to eventually ban a $200 card

All 3 Throne Planeswalkers are basically unkillable except by removal or Questing Beast. The Royal Scions aren't in nearly as strong a deck right now as Oko, but a turn 3 Royal Scions is still basically there to stay unless they remove themselves with their ultimate. Even Garruk is basically glued to the board in that weird wolf deck that's making the rounds. Coming down turn 3 with basically 6 loyalty for the Oko and Scions is just nuts for anyone hoping to punch them down.

Oko and the Twins somehow feel that way in Modern too, I can’t imagine how Standard feels

I have given up on Modern because for the last...two years?... it felt like every three months there is a new busted deck that you're either playing or losing to. This time it's Whirza. They won't ban anything tomorrow so we all get to watch it do its thing with Emry for a couple of months until WotC takes action.

W6 in Legacy and Astrolabe in Pauper are my candidates for tomorrow. Modern Horizons was a mistake, it turns out cards which you deem too strong for Standard just shouldn't be printed at all.

It was supposed to be one of the top ten cards in the set and looking back Im not sure I would put it in the top 50.

Basic snow lands have had more an impact on the format and they were a reprint.

Just mash shuffling and only the odd foil here and there, so probably less than 15 in both decks combined? Using Katana outers, KMC Perfect Fit inners. They're clearly holding less air after I squish them flat (using a marble coaster, just gently pressing/letting gravity do the work before actually pushing down) than before but they're still getting some volume of air back afterwards. If I store them top-down in the flip and tray card holders, they are just a tad less reinflated over time than when I leave them top up.
