Make sure to memorize this line as you play the format

“When you pass priority at the end of your second main phase, I ______ the cat”

Had an event at an LGS and it went great. Lots of new players playing and talking deck strategy and getting some fantastic games in. We gave out promos to everyone who attended. We’ll post some gameplay from it to show some of the quick and dynamic games.

I personally probably played 150 games and there was easily 200-250 games total played this weekend and this is literally the only photo I got of gameplay. @defcat.bsky.social @kurohitsuki.bsky.social

Thank you to everyone who checked out the format and everyone who played a game (or 5) with me this weekend. This was an incredible experience and I loved seeing everyone enjoy it! Welcome to the Catfight!

Can’t decide.

Important rules detail specific to Catfight regarding this card. You cannot bounce the cat to put this into play because that is part of the cost. If it was part of the resolution, it would work, but not the cost. That’s why you can Path To Exile your cat, not exile it, and get a basic.

Ux Tempo continues to be one of the best decks in the format.

This seems really good, especially when Shadowspear is such a common equipment to encounter.

catfightmtg.bsky.social @catfightmtg.bsky.social · Sep 2

Cats are eating good this set.

catfightmtg.bsky.social @catfightmtg.bsky.social · Sep 2

Problem solved.

catfightmtg.bsky.social @catfightmtg.bsky.social · Sep 2

I played over 100 games with tons of great folks this weekend. Thank you to everyone who jammed a game with me and welcome to the community. Excited to see this format grow!

I really like these sleeves, they have a super interesting texture.

Had to branch out a bit since I was running out of sleeve color options…

15 decks packed in my @quivertime.com to bring to SCGCon Orlando this weekend. Who wants to play a new, exciting, Eternal and competetive format? Look for me and let’s jam some games!

All of these are incredibly playable in the format.

Looking for a place to play all the gorgeous Stellar Sights lands you’ve opened? Come play Catfight. Lands are a huge part of solid deck construction.

Come play Catfight. It hits this interesting spot between Pauper and Legacy. The 1 cmc restriction and singleton library keeps it balanced, but the Eternal, small banlist keeps it powerful.

If you have this version Mental Misstep and will be at #SCGConOrlando let me know. Looking to pickup a copy.

And remember, Catfight has a 9 card sideboard so Learn is absolutely legal and possibly becoming more and more viable

catfightmtg.bsky.social @catfightmtg.bsky.social · Aug 12

First Catfight legal card from Avatar and this seems real good. 5 life is brutal in a 9 life format though.
