I do think it's worth noting Lorwyn Eclipsed and Strixhaven 2 are coming up, and they're both sets that were likely to have hybrid no matter what, so it's possible WOTC saw something they liked in those sets' hybrid cards and decided to apply it more broadly

Pretty interesting tidbit of information - I have mixed feelings on hybrid mana in limited.

My thoughts on the controversial Spider-Man set, plus some strategic insight into what I think of Pick 2 drafts and this format!

Early Access :) forcing white decks :) www.twitch.tv/samp_mtg

RWb by Drew - that fast mana! 💍

Magic Numbers are out there on YT and we have a Skeleton Crew situation. Me, Sam Pratt from Rough Drafts and Zach Kagan talk all about the upcoming set in our eccentric, deck-centric set review, where instead of looking at cards, we build full decks using simple rules. youtu.be/5kQmRM40I94 1/2

Skeleton Crew is back! Me, @sampratt.bsky.social and @zakagan.bsky.social are here to talk about Marvel's Spider-Man in our eccentric, deck-centric set review. twitch.tv/sierkovitz

Now drafting

the Jank Diver Gaming squad also happened to draft my cube tonight - sicko UR deck by flutterdev

near mono-green(!) by Christian, ft. Tomb and Strip+Icetill+W6! 🌲

Would you rather die than give opponent two landers with Terrapact Intimidator? Or are you so afraid of losing some life - you'd rather give opponent the lander? This is deeply psychological question. Are you willing to face the problem now or make it a future problem? 1/10

Time to take a look back at Edge of Eternities! The final vibe check on Spacecraft, looking back at my early-season slump, and checking in after the 10th Play Booster format.

WB Lurrus by Drew! 🐈

Two 3-0s tonight! Drafted with 11 Ur Time Warp loops by Justin RBw discard/reanimator by Ash

Updates to the official Arena cube is here. I was really unhappy with the direction of the cube last iteration, and the new changes don't seem to address any of those issues, and in fact seem to make them worse magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-...

41-40 is scorigami, congrats everybody

If I had a nickel for every time my football team with a quarterback wearing #10 upset their dominant division rival in week 1 of 2025 I would have two nickels

Grab bag episode for EOE! I talk through a handful of sweet interactions at commons, plus why you should be a little more willing to play a Quench.

WBu planeswalkers by Will (the illegible card in the top left is Mother of Runes lol)

Ub by me! Got to put together the Cryptic Command/Mystic Sanctuary loop several times and it felt just as good as I had hoped 😁

This stupid spider man card is making me so mad Ditch the "up to" and make it cost six and suddenly the card is resonant and memorable Hex turns 20 this year

Had to upload to Youtube manually but it's up now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLjO...

Me opening Shotcut to try to put audio over a static image because my Youtube RSS integration is broken

BR Rock by LastAbzan! You love to see a normal black midrange deck winning

Firing a draft of my Arena cube! come hang :) www.twitch.tv/samp_mtg

Red week! Drafting red in EOE really clicked for me this week - tune in to learn why you shouldn't be afraid to get deep into the color, and why you should be building your decks around a 7 mana 4/4.

The official Pick-Two format description instructs stores to run only two rounds of draft - "players should play two rounds" What the fuck? Drafts are already 20% more expensive because they're UB and players only get to play 2/3rds the amount of Magic? magic.wizards.com/en/formats/p...

Lil paper cube heater, back to back trophies, UG channel/food chain in a friend's BUG cube, WR phlage midrange with kiki combo in a combo-focused cube. Bring on cubecon baby

We broke it for sure

This week's #mtgcube article is a deep dive on synergy: how it works, why that matters, and design tips for making the synergies of your dreams! luckypaper.co/articles/cub...

There's a user catscandal in the LLU discord that occasionally writes BANGER articles about limited. This one on WU midrange in EOE is no exception abitterblossom.wordpress.com/2025/08/22/a...

Wx Ancient Tomb aggro by yours truly :) I love Michiko's Reign of Truth so much

that's me!

I forgot how nice it is to wake up on a Saturday and throw on a magic tournament!

The amount of errors in Arena events is baffling The weekly announcements are riddled with mistakes. The event calendar is useless Draft 2 of the Open was launched with the wrong w/l format last weekend The play-in today is currently broken QW tomorrow was scheduled with the wrong format

Nice lil vintage cube trophy, took p1p1 phlage over tinker knowing you just get passed all the good aggro cards week 1 lol

This week I'm diving into Perigee Beckoner, one of the sweetest black commons in EOE, and exploring the myriad of combos and synergy this card provides.

Trophied with monoblack! The mismatched sleeves look and feel awesome

Wizards dropped an INSANE double anthology packed with cubeable cards that I've been waiting for for my Arena cube. I don't know if I'm more excited or overwhelmed! magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-...

Stone soup drafting tomorrow! Everyone brings 45 cards and you mash em together to make a cube. Pretty sure my friends are not going to bring enough lands or interaction, so I'm loading up on both while also supporting Arcanist and Micromancer.

As the format develops, I turn to an old Magic strategy article for gameplay guidance. More specifically, I'm examining how managing your life total (and your opponents'!) can lend you a big leg up in Edge of Eternities.

Today time for some theoretical ramblings. Can colorless cards improve draft experience? Could they be the mechanism that evens out the playing field, providing more to underperforming color pairs? I will try to convince you that they might using some data and speculation. 1/13

I'm slightly above wishing financial ruin on people, but I do hope that everyone who participated in the Arena Direct felt regret at wasting their weekend playing bo1 sealed 😇

I released a podcast about how to deal with losing then ripped four straight bo1 trophies lol
