Hi all, I spent some time looking at decks for legacy for EW 2025! check out the vod (in the reply link) cc @fireshoes.bsky.social

It's that time of year, folks — the 4th annual State of the Noodle stream is NEXT THURSDAY 9/18 8:30pm EST @ twitch.tv/akaleth @xjcloud.bsky.social will join me as we discuss D&T decklists in 2025, its position in the metagame, and give you all the tools you need to be prepared for Eternal Weekend!

Many people think that the "taxes" in death and taxes refers to cards that tax your opponents resources, such as Thalia or Spirit of the labyrinth. In fact, it actually references a rule of the game that made it so you had to pay 3 mana to put a companion into your hand, dubbed the "companion tax"

Started writing DNT guide, decided not to finish it especially with getting a new job and having to prepare modern theses days. I wrote up a SB guide with no matchup notes for my showcase list that I'm just going to publish for free

It’s that time! The new episode just dropped! This time with Legacy Showcase winner and DNT specialist @adamwasmo.bsky.social Give it a listen to hear about his DNT Domination and more! open.spotify.com/episode/0M8A...

I have just been informed that the upcoming PT is modern. I have a vetted interest in preparing modern for the MOCS and am willing to do whatever I can to aid in your modern testing If any teams are interested in working together, please let me know! Reposts appreciated

First of all I wanted to thank @xjcloud.bsky.social and @akaleth.bsky.social for their help in deck construction, sideboard ideas, and mulligan determinations. They really helped me to pick up the deck within a few months. I also wanted to thank everyone that helped me test matchups going in

I won the legacy showcase with DNT. I'll make my thanks and a longer winded post later but yeah. Does not feel real

Haven't been this nervous for a tournament in YEARS. Gonna need to lock in and hope I can get a good night's sleep Good vibes appreciated in advance

Won a challenge with DNT R prison LWW UB rean WLW UB rean LWW DNT mirror WLL UB tempo WW mono white ephem LWW UB rean LWW UR delver WW DNT mirror vengeance WW

Picked this deck box up from @ultimateguard.bsky.social and I was so excited until I flipped it over. Looks like my art was extended with ai. @magic.wizards.com needs to make sure their partners don’t do this. I would have happily extended this for a couple hundred $$. Instead it looks awful!

Should I turn this into an article on lurrus control before EW? Is this something people would pay for?

I've had a hell of a weekend and my hair is kinda going off from the humidity, but it is Sunday, and tonight I'm gonna give Phelia/Overlord one last shot with @adamwasmo.bsky.social's showcase top 8 list from a little while ago! Live now @ twitch.tv/akaleth

t8 legacy showcase with this. Lost to UB rean in swiss and quarters (also beat it twice), if someone who actually played this deck was playing they would've won both i think, i'm just bad thanks to @xjcloud.bsky.social for a starting list

doubters in shambles

I hate movies like this and I was so disappointed

Legacy players, I want to see something. Can you sound off if you're happy with no changes? Judgement free zone. I just havent seen anybody be happy yet and seeing many people saying they're leaving the format over this.

Lmao guess who just got fired without notice or cause because of "budget reasons" and "restructuring" If you know any remote IT, technical writing, or programming jobs please hit me up, or if you are an IRL friend and know local jobs for me hmu as well What a fucking miserable Tuesday

Reminder that heavy play spends more in advertising sleeves than they do making them tournament playable and should be avoided at all costs

anyone else remember when I complained about it because the layout was horrendous and wotc was like "oh we're so sorry we promise we'll change but guess you just got screwed" just me? cool.

I'm far from surprised, but it is incredibly disappointing that Joe Brennan was not only allowed at NYSE, but is now part of the top 8 commentary team. On today of all days, that clown and his stupid fucking hat should be laughed out of every building he tries to enter No kings, no Nazis

First time making a pretty traditional Chinese dish

Every single tweet I’ve seen about this game is about how it’s the best game ever made, the greatest human creation since sliced bread, how it saved their dog from a burning building so FINE I’LL PLAY IT

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

with the release of the final patch of bg3 I decided to do a new honor mode run with only new subclasses, and I just won Fighter - arcane archer: giga broken, easily best Berserker - giant: best thrower, great Bard- glamour: good stun, fine Wizard- bladesing: solid, versatile

hey. a very unfortunate and upsetting thing happened to me this week, and talking about it publicly comes at a great personal cost so if you could take the time to read it, it would mean a lot tldr: wotc pulled the ad i made on all platforms due to the comments said ad received

To whoever ate one bite of their 16 oz mid rare ribeye and left 1/3 of a bottle of cab... I love you

BANGER ALERT

My hand playing for the 5-0 emblem in pocket (Somehow won)

Sorry to people whose experience I ruined

Fantasy draft time, who you got

Everyone say happy birthday to my gf Hailey! I was given the prompt "seafood and those Sichuan Green beans" Soy miso salmon, cucumber salad, Sichuan green beans, and sticky mango rice for dessert

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

A perfect representation of what it's like being the legacy specialist at team events

Packed for the NRG, sourced 2 decks, found broken teammates Ready to game for the first time since NYSE

My Storm guide is ready ahead of the weekend's RCs in Canada and Europe. 2700 words on why I build the deck the way I do and sideboarding / game plans for 6.5 of the most common matchups. I'll probably add some more decks before the weekend. Price is $10 or 12 tix, DMs open.

If nobody else got me I know Mewtwo got me

We are sad to announce that we have been told by Wizards that they will no longer support us with either funding or invites to Organized Play events. Without this support - especially the invites - it is impossible for us to continue, and there will be no more VML seasons going forward.

Any friends need a legacy player for nrg chicago? been a while since i've made it out

Double matchbox is not fair.

it is satisfyingly poetic that the richest man in the world wants nothing more than to be good at posting but sucks so bad at it. grimm’s fairy tale type shit. just need the last part of the tale to kick in though
