I built a Go-Shintai deck and probably 2/3 of my matchups are either mirrors or Jodah.

Haven't seen a single Go-Shintai when not playing it myself, and Jodah maybe a couple times.

I see a lot of Go-Shintai (sometimes 4-5 games in a row) playing Lagrella

A rap/singer who is actually a pretty OK guitar player. He may have crossed your radar back in the very beginning of covid when he and some dudes (Travis Barker played drums) did basically a webcam Nirvana cover set in his house for charity.

His music's not my thing, but he's not exactly just some manufactured pop bullshit guy.

Magic, however, has sort of cringingly latched onto him like the nerdy kid who accidentally made buddies with the high school QB because they're partners in science class.

He plays a lot of Magic, bought himself a Black Lotus and got started making Minecraft music. He's a giant nerd and he's partnering with the nerd company.

I am 40. I know him as the guy who did a Nirvana concert because I was 10 when Nevermind came out. I genuinely don't mean any disrespect to his music or career, I just learned about him how I learned about him.

e: Reporting back from spotify, I know Psycho, that's a pretty good one.

this is, somehow, the least surprising thing ever

thought his D&D album was the worst one he's done in a while so i wouldn't hold out too hard for a Magic album from him. then again his pro wrestling album slaps hard so maybe it would turn out good if he focused the songs on the players instead of the cards

theoretical track listing:

- Paying Taxes
- the Last Thalia Left in the Game Store
- Confessions of a Phyrexian Sleeper
- You Milled My Heart, Now I'm Cancelling Your Aura

This deck is hilarious. Just got back to back absurd combo wins with it. First was Plargg'ing into a Deafening Clarion with Angel of Destiny and Firesong & Sunspeaker on the board. Instantly went from 15 life to 70, attacked with Angel the following turn for AoD's "YWTG" effect. Next game I managed to Star of Extinction with an Ill-Tempered Loner on the board, taking my opponent from 17-0 instantly. If you aren't sure about decks in this event, pick Boros.

Clever Betty
the post malone decks are good fun, fun enough that I decided to craft the Ellywick deck for personal use, it's just a good fun stompy timmy deck. have not tried the others but the boros one having brash taunter in it is just cruel and unusual punishment. but the ellywick deck aside from a couple early losses to rakdos has just loving steamrolled the competition, it's ridiculous how hard it can pop off if they don't kill every single mana dork you get.


get ellywick in play, plus her twice, ult, and now you have hasty tramplebois for the rest of the game and can recast ellywick for extra punishment later if you want to finish the dungeons. turn 3 ellywick has happened at least half of my games, and my opponents are generally board building too much to deal with her.

edit: it's so loving ridiculous, turn 5 or 6 EVERYONE TURN SIDEWAYS trample haste attacks are super common with the deck. good stuff. Korlessa by far is the easiest to steamroll with it but the other decks don't fare much better. 13 wins, 3 losses(2 rakdos, 1 sunspeaker due to brash taunter being anathema to green stompy)


had me on the ropes the entire game with a stolen beast whisperer and liliana dreadhorde general, but I just pushed through and them stomped their face into the dirt with phyrexian mana-powered stompers one turn followed by a craterhoof for the trample finish


I love this big dumb green deck, it's real fun.

I just cast Rakdos, Showstopper against that green deck when they had 5 creatures in play and none of them died. I moused over each of them in turn, then Rakdos to make sure I wasn't missing something. The opponent then threw up the new goblin rimshot emote. I got a good laugh out of that.

Anyway that's my fun friendly emote story.

Was there a maskwood nexus in play? Several of the decks run one.

Yeah the post brawl decks are kinda fun.
At least I assume so. For such events I choose a deck, and switch to the winner deck after every game.
So now I am 5-0 with Rackdos.
The last game took forever because I got some lifegains engines running while playing against the Boros lifegain deck.
They gave up once I got this hilariously dumb combo running:

Reminder, the World Cup is in a month. If you have flag sleeves for any of the major nations playing (Brazil, England, Germany, etc.), use those while it's going on. I'd be willing to bet WOTC puts national sleeves in the store again either before or during the WC as well.

Lol double-vision-ed sea gate restoration followed up by next turn double visioned inscription of insight for the "x/x illusion creature for cards in hand" is very very funny, and this is AFTER the opponent managed to exile the "every card you cast has storm" enchantment too.

Brawl event is fun.
