The MTGO meta looks like it.... ...wait ...is that Neoform!? WITH A STEEL CHAIR? NOT TO THE META!! BWAAAAH GAWD!!!!
By the time you finish watching my silly teaser, my newest video previewing Pro Tour Marvel Super Heroes using all MTGO Challenges, Showcase & Super Qualifier Events will be live on my YouTube Channel! Details in video & below! @fireshoes.bsky.social @saffronolive.bsky.social #MagicTheGathering
IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR here's what I would try out if I wanted to Arena Ladder: Please Fatal Push in the 75. Craterhoof is a great way to win even w/o Badgermole Cub (maybe Cub goes here). Clancaller bad, Shang-Chi Chord-able Tyvar, Sentinel is a Pollinator that blocks fliers. Maybe -1 CoCo?
I went 2-1 @SVCardArt playing PIONEER ELVES last night! R1 vs Niv to Light: 💀💀 R2 vs Azorius Control: 🧝💀🧝 R3 vs Orzhov Greasefang: 🧝🧝 I'm here to tell you the deck is NOT GOOD Here is my extremely-niche-teched list for my LGS #MagicTheGathering #MTG
I took Azorius Momo to the skies of Pioneer in a Challenge! The deck works similar to it's Standard counterpart - but we get to use Mox Amber to the max with Momo! Did someone say Turn 2 Quantum Ridler?? Find out how it worked in the video below (link to deck list also) 👇 #MagicTheGathering #MTG
Played an RCQ on Grixis Shadow today. Had to play a World's competitor in Round 1 no big deal
My opponent was playing Pioneer But I was playing Modern This was the most busted thing the deck did all day Otherwise it had a lot of mulligans that ended up poorly Went 3-3 overall, deck feels like the Standard version but can win much faster thanks to Mox Amber
Haha wouldn't it be funny if I streamed another Pioneer Challenge? Wouldn't it be funnier if you all tuned in to watch me play (lose) games? What if we played Azorius Momo? Wouldn't that be funny? Challenge in 40 mins - live on both Twitch & YT! #MagicTheGathering #MTGOCreator
Missed the 3-0 with an oldie, but a goodie tonight! 2-1 @SVCardArt playing Rakdos Sac with Phoenix Fleet Airship. It didn't block out the Sun this time though. Played 3 decks where my Claims/Pushes were useless! GW Bogles: 💀🐈⬛🐈⬛ UB Bounce: 💀🐈⬛🐈⬛ UW Control: 💀💀
Leading up to #PTSOS - I got the chance to Coach a Pro Team on their journey to win one of the biggest Events in the game What I left was one of the best Gaming experiences I've ever had Check out how Coaching worked in my new video #MagicTheGathering #MTG @fireshoes.bsky.social
Members get to see my video about coaching Team Drawing Board at PT SOS right now! Everyone else, it'll be up at 1 PM PT to watch!

Deck so fun we're sleeving it up in Paper! Check my out Golgari Midrange run in the recent Pioneer Challenge in my newest video below! #MagicTheGathering #PioneerMTG
Punted away a match versus Phoenix I think I had a shot at winning - but Golgari is good! 😅 Not too shabby for a return to Streaming/1st Pioneer games in a hot minute! Shoutout TentacleFan - their list from a previous event! Video out later with the matches! @fireshoes.bsky.social karma
Things I have planned that I may or may not still do: - PT Coaching Recap (have had this on the back burner because a month of RC recaps) - Combined Paper Standard H2H Analysis - Streaming, specifically the Pioneer Challenge on Monday if I can get home from work in time
