Made a video for the first time in a long time! Not stellar results but genuinely a bunch of really good quality games. Had some better results off-camera with some list tweaks, doing a SB guide for EW players!
GOODBYE, ENTOMB AND NADU, GOBLINS RETURNS?

🏆* (first match win through disconnect). Port Gobs actually doing substantially better than Tombs in this new meta for me. Might come down to extra R source more than anything though. Beat blue Post, GB midrange stuff, UR tempo w/tamiyo, and Omnisneak. Gonna -2 surgical -1 REB for 3 Leylines prob.

UR + Colorless being the top decks immediately postban just makes sense, but it is inescapably funny that UB reanimator top 8s the first showcase after banning Entomb.
Legacy Showcase Challenge Top 8 decklists for Sunday, Nov 16 (289 players!) #mtg #mtgLegacy

Izzet Delver gets the win! 🧙🏆

Fleshraker Tron in 2nd 💠

Oops! takes 3rd and 5th 🤭🤭

We've now suffered the tragic loss of Tatsuya Nakadai (92), Japanese film icon, and my personal favorite actor. He's the GOAT. I want to go through all of the films of his that I've seen to pay tribute to such a wonderful and talented actor.

Alright so didn't really hit any of the top priorities of the format (huge L) but Entomb + Nadu ban decreases Legacy's overall "well that's dumb and immediately wins"-type games, so I can't be TOO bad. Not sure what I'll do with Gobs from here, but I'm at least interested in trying things out now.
In order of necessity of making the format interesting:
Tamiyo
Planar Nexus
Kozilek's Command
Entomb
The One Ring
Probably but not necessarily Nadu

Might be my favorite horror movie, it's just so damn deeply unsettling!

Something really perverse about Magic's direction is just how much it is a product attempting to hijack your identity. Century-of-the-self-ass card game. Prove your devotion to your toys by spending absurd $$ on serialized, hyper-personalized advertising in the shell of a game piece. It sucks!

Here are 4 standard-legal cards I think are neat and make me happy when I get to play with and against them in non-rotating formats.

"Designing for Eternal" is broke. Let the cool Magic cards trickle down to their forever homes.

All the videos and photos from the protests today are insane morale boosts, it rules.

Mr Mamdani do you recognize Skyrim as a Nordic state
October 17, 2025 at 1:01 AM
Very genuinely will kinda freak out if they don't ban Planar Nexus and/or Kozilek's Command. The extremely explosive colorless combo deck that kills you through turn 1 Null Rod pretty easily is not okay.

EW Top 8 pretty clearly signposts which decks need to be taken down a peg. Colorless Bullshit.dek and UB Reanimator (again). There's a lot of fair discussion to be had about what exactly should be hit though (other than Tamiyo 100%)
