An odd element of LL and bans that I always enjoy is the cascading impact they have on my collection of decks. Aurora hit LL, so I have an extra copy of every card now. Blitz banned Channel Lightning Valley, so that one comes out entirely. Suddenly I have the cards free to CC my Blitz Oscilio...

Landed a Top 8 placement with Verdance at the local Pro Quest! That's a pair of 2025 goals accomplished.

Saying goodbye is never easy, but Abby finds bittersweet joy in Aurora's legacy. rathetimes.com/articles/a-m...

This game owes a huge debt to its specialists. There's nothing more electrifying than seeing an unexpected hero come out of nowhere to win a major event.

Mechanoid I/O is a deck built upon two years of work and a theory of Mechanologist as a flexible pivot class. Alex Truell opens up the workshop in today's Pro Series article - exclusively available to our Rathe Times subscribers. rathetimes.com/articles/mec...

What's your favorite FAB Easter Egg? I will never get over this one. 'Kingdoms' was never released under that title, so we may never know what LSS intended - but is the Lost Kingdom the 9th region of Rathe? rathetimes.com/articles/kin...
