2026 Deck Thread! At the end of last year, there was a post asking everyone’s favorite deck they made in 2025. The hardest part of that question for me was trying to remember what I built in 2025 versus what I’d already built. This is my attempt to track that (counting decks built in paper only).

They’re just giving out Game Changers. And in foil, no less…

🚨THIS IS TONIGHT🚨 We had a BLAST playing games with Lorwyn + Morningtide on Sunday, and today we are playing the final installment in our Lorwyn Showdown: Shadowmoor and Eventide Sealed. We're going to crack packs, build decks, and play a Bo3 match. 10pm ET Be there! 💖 twitch.tv/SteelCityMTG

On Sunday, we're doing something VERY cool and I really really hope y'all come out to see it. Each of us are opening 3 packs of OG Lorwyn and 3 packs of OG Morningtide, building sealed decks, and playing a best of 3 match LIVE on stream. Don't miss out. 💖 10pm Eastern! twitch.tv/SteelCityMTG

With Lorwyn Eclipsed previews starting, I get to do one of my very favorite things: get super excited about Scarecrows! A 🧵going through each new scarecrow and how likely it is to join the Reaper King’s legion by being dubbed Outstanding in its Field, ranked out of 5. Here’s our starting point:

It is a sad sad day in Scarecrow land. Tonight is for self-care but tomorrow we sharpen our scythes and get back to work. For we are, and must be, Outstanding in our Field!

Apparently now that the set is ending, I’m getting the hang of ATLA draft. Another 🏆! Bribery was P1p1 and I got to cast it 3 times, one of which got Ozai rhe Phoenix King while the other two got immediate concessions. Also, only 2 packs away on the Road to 100!

Early morning baby wake-up just means opportunity for insomnia draft 🏆! Went 7-1 (only loss was to not hitting land 4 until turn 7). Standouts were Fire Nation Trebuchet and Fire Nation Engineer, the former was the sac outlet making the engine run and the latter just speeds the clock up so much.

Got to do some true Eluge nonsense, including using Irenicus’ Vile Duplication to create El2ge (and discount my first instant or sorcery of each turn by 10), but all my digging didn’t find me a counterspell when I needed it. board got wiped and VQC Heliod/Ballista’d the table. Super fun game!

It's time for the last Convoked of 2025 and we are LIVE!! twitch.tv/vanquiggcosplay @carillion.bsky.social @jmargamedesign.bsky.social

Something fishy this way comes… Debuting Eluge on Convoked tonight with @vanquiggcosplay.bsky.social! 10pm Eastern at twitch.tv/VanQuiggCosplay

When I have time to kill, I bake! (Dark and Stormy Cookies from NYT Cooking)

Was already building what I guess is now called a Blight deck and this seems like it single-handedly might have moved that deck up a bracket.

Ended up being a solid box once I had everything sorted (pulled out everything worth over $2). Plus I can make a Kuja deck for my brother’s husband, who just started playing, and an Emperor of Palamicia deck for me!

I propose that we start a movement. #LockInForLorwyn

My 3 siblings and I played “tag yourself in this picture” and they decided I was the Owlin. This might be the nicest thing said about me all day.

Now do you NEED a full draft pod and a full box to #PlayWithYourPacks? No, of course you don't. Is it AMAZING when you can pull something like that together with your friends though? YES. Of course it is! WE LOVE TO SEE IT. 💖💖💖

Took the advice of @steelcitymtg.bsky.social and drafted a box of Final Fantasy (4 packs each) with the DC crew! Deck needed a piece or two that I never ended up finding and ended up 0-2 (but each match went to g3) but had a great time!

Been playing a slightly modified version of @ashlizzlle.bsky.social’s Azorius Oculus list on Arena ladder. Although results have been mixed (definitely some pilot error as I learn the deck and sideboarding) there are very few things I enjoy more than t1 discard Oculus to hand size and reanimate t2.

Might not be the most consistent streamer out there but I have a blast doing it and I appreciate the heck out of all y’all who dropped by!

Congrats to all the creators receiving badges for #MCVegas26! I know a handful of trans people, myself included, who wouldn't mind taking that +1 off your hands! Instead of running a giveaway, DM me to make the con more inclusive! 🫶🏳️‍⚧️🫰

Got to live the Ardyn-Jumbo Cactuar dream, just a casual 20000 life swing.

1 draft, 1 🏆for Avatar! Deck felt good to play; aggro enough to win quickly but enough value from Firebending to win a couple of grinder games.

Lorwyn and Star Trek; excellent bookends to the year

Sure, sounds fun!

After 2 sealed pools, ATLA feels a lot like Final Fantasy in that I’m not doing very well but I’m enjoying the heck out of it.
