Many resources for me, less resources for opponents. Tilt the game.

Had a real good #cedh game with @briandemars.bsky.social , @billydenton.bsky.social & Tinesh this passed Sunday over at @riwhobbies.bsky.social . Lots of interaction & fun.

RIW Hobbies in Livonia, Michigan ran a year long MTG Pauper series and held an end of year Invitational. It turned out really cool and was a lot of fun and the shop is running it back in 2026. @fireshoes.bsky.social riwhobbies.com/2025-pauper-...

Me: I bought and expensive Magic: the Gathering card. Wife: What’s it called? Me: “Squandered Resources” Wife: Uncontrollable laughter.

riwhobbies.com/preparing-to... I'm shifting my focus to Pauper because RIW's 5k Invitational in December is great value with just 16 players to qualify. Eight major events to get me there. I did a Pauper writeup to prepare. Shares appreciated! #RIW

Just took apart my 5-0 prerelease deck. It was very good. MVP was 2x Venerated Stormsinger. I even got to copy one with Taigam! Lotuslight Dancers were far better than expected, especially when renewing Kheru Goldkeeper onto them.

A cat, a dog and a frog walk into an LGS… Shopkeep says: what’ll y’all have? My adorable Generals: if history is any indicator, a ridiculously high win % in brackets 3 & 4.

I love Pauper tournaments. I just dig out the deck from the last one, add one or two cards, and voila! My deck is ready. I cannot think of another format where I get to do that for as many years as I have been playing.

Pic of the #Magicthegathering Legacy deck I played at GP Seattle (2015) and what I played against. Hard to believe this was a decade ago! This was my favorite Legacy Meta (so many cool, iconic decks!).

Found a pic of a Legacy deck I played in 2017
