posting a day early for your Thanksgiving travels 😉
I've been on a bit of a hot streak with BW, so this week I'm diving deep on the archetype. We're looking at why white is the best color, why black is the worst, and what you get when you combine the two.

Color pair power in limited depends on many factors. One of them is colour pair "depth" - availability of good commons in a pod. That's what we are exploring today. Here are all the non-land commons for each of the 10 color pairs in Avatar plotted by Game in Hand WR rank.

I'm 4/4 on WB trophies in my first 15 drafts. The white cards are all just like, pretty good, and black has a lot of insane rares that I keep getting passed. I'm taking Tolls of War super highly at this point

Normal limited is back! I'm so excited to jump into TLA, and talk through my thoughts on each of the bending mechanics as well as the set as a whole.

Last month, I sat down and talked Magic with limited enthusiast and former Canadian National Champion Marc Anderson @neo-mtg.bsky.social! We dive into some highlights of his pro career, discuss how limited has changed over the years, and talk a little cube too.

Why would you spend your time thinking about Ajani, Nacatl Pariah when you could be walking along the Fox River sipping a little drink on a crisp autumn afternoon

This week I'm recapping a couple Rotisserie drafts of my cube! I had a blast roto drafting with friends last month, so I'm going into detail on how to run one, reviewing my own draft, and pitching why this format is so much fun.
Also youtube has video!

Big update to my Arena cube!
Swapping 10% of the cards (hopefully the largest change every) - a lot of backlogged changes I wanted to make since my list was locked for CubeCon, a lot of exciting adds from the Arena Powered Cube update :)
