Lotus Field is the coward's ban but I'll take what I can get when dealing with these cowards. WHOOOOOO PHLAGE OUT WE ALL HATE PHLAGE BYE LOSER

surely today is the day modern becomes playable right

shoutouts to my friend Sazh's Chocobo

11-5 for 33rd. Only 11-5 to not get the Tamiyo, rip. Feels good to pick the best deck again.

3-0 with a nearly perfect UG deck dropping no games. Don't ask about my deck from yesterday.

It's a good day to win one match of Outlaws of Thunder Junction Booster Draft

Well I 0-3'd draft (no clue how to draft OTJ) and 5-0'd standard again (Landfall is broken)

I love Outlaws of Thunder Junction booster draft!!!!

Decklist submitted and it's a real Boulder deck. Here's hoping everyone outplays themselves this weekend.

The Pro Tour is a showcase of both great players and breakout teams - like The Boulder's success with Izzet Spellementals! See their story and what's next for the team: magic.gg/news/the-bou...

Yo look at that it's @pg8.bsky.social & @ajelenbogen.bsky.social being the GOATS

forms.gle/BFK9vxKntPrP... Put together a p0p1 competition since @mtgds.bsky.social is on hiatus. Obviously short notice since the set drops on Arena on Tuesday, but hopefully we can get a good number of submissions.

Looking to buy a seat in the Friday PTQ and Sunday Limited Championship Qualifier for Magiccon Vegas! I did not expect them to sell out so fast 😭 If anyone knows anyone who wants to part with their slot, let me know!

Another one of these for the collection I guess

Happy cope day everyone

I'm bookmarking this one, great resource from Ryan for people like me who need limited to be a little more formal

It's my favorite time of the year, let em have it gamers

This weekend is the Japan/Korea RC, held in Kyoto. My usual co-hosts are busy, so I'm putting out an open call: does anyone out there keep weird hours and want to color-commentate a standard event? Stream starts 9pm EDT Friday night, 8pm EDT Saturday night.

I like nice cards :)

I just published an update to the Boulder Spellementals guide ahead of this weekend's RCs and Spotlight. This update is FREE to make sure anyone who subscribed earlier can access it - hopefully this will help some cool Crab gamers crush it.

March 3rd update for Standard Interaction Guide (leading up to Spotlight Richmond and RC Turin). @fireshoes.bsky.social docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Daily Draft #16 Logs: www.17lands.com/draft/f84ce3... This might be my last Daily Draft for a while - Lorwyn is leaving Arena tomorrow. I'm still not the world's greatest drafter but I think I've learned a lot. When there's a draftable set again I'll be back.

So I'm gonna be traveling this weekend, and there's no way in hell I'm gonna do Daily Draft for the turtle set. Does anyone know if a real set will be draftable next week?

Daily Draft #15 Logs: www.17lands.com/draft/93dc33... I got a trophy! This deck is amazing, it was a real smooth 7-0 against some other pretty decent decks. I'm sure there were some things it could have struggled with but I can't complain.

Daily Draft #14 Logs: www.17lands.com/draft/e5ae89... Milwaukee was nice, but I somehow did not win the RC. Hopefully I still remember how to draft.

Scrubbed the RC, oh well. Great seeing Will and Phil crush it though, and two Spellementals gamers top 8'd too. Not a bad weekend.

7-2 day 1 of RC Milwaukee with CRAB (Spellementals). Probably not perfectly positioned but it's too beautiful not to play, hopefully I'll win the tournament.

Daily Draft in the airport might not be happening today. See y'all in Milwaukee.

Daily Draft #13 Logs: www.17lands.com/draft/6e1fd1... Today's draft is nice and straightforward. I started out in a lane, did what I could to leave myself open, and ended up remaining in that deck until the end.

Daily Draft #12.5 I'm not going through this one in detail, just really happy with how I drafted so I wanna post the logs. www.17lands.com/draft/00c9e6...

See, draft is easy, just p1p1 Gloom Ripper!

Daily Draft #12 Logs: www.17lands.com/draft/aaa09f... Today I got to build around a broken mythic rare, and built a deck out of colors instead of a deck that maximizes my rare and the other good cards around it.

I'm very glad you're coming around to this. It was truly a level up moment for me. I've tried to use the distinction between "open lane" and "available deck" now for coaching students

Daily Draft #11 Logs: www.17lands.com/draft/c345ef... I missed two days of this last weekend (and I'm going to miss some more for Milwaukee next weekend) but it's good to be back in the drafting seat. Today is a bad deck, went 3-3 but the wins were mostly despite its failings.

Not gonna be able to make a Daily Draft today or tomorrow, be back Monday

Daily Draft #10 Log: www.17lands.com/draft/1289c6... Today's deck is pretty good. I'm happy with it but there's always something to improve.

Daily Draft #9 Logs: www.17lands.com/draft/1eb21f... I went 0-3 today, and I'm kind of surprised. I thought this deck was pretty good, maybe ran somewhat bad (had a lot of miss 3rd land + opponent has rare on curve).

Daily Draft #8 Logs: www.17lands.com/draft/57e702... I'm starting to notice some recurring problems with how I draft. I'm treating too many of the "above average filler" cards as good thing to take early and not focusing enough on what my % to enter each lane is.

Daily Draft #7 My first draft today didn't get the logs saved for some reason. Here it is! It sucks! Darkness Descends was really good I promise, lost twice to it getting Cancelled though.

Many people have been asking me questions about the Spellementals deck The Boulder played to a 72% winrate at the PT. If you want to know of all our secrets for $20 see the below deck guide: t.co/TOYOfUGea9

Bonus Draftlog What's the Play, we're in Opponent's end step: This one is probably really easy, but I made the wrong choice and it did cost me the game.

Daily Draft #6 Logs here: www.17lands.com/draft/3d5b0a... This draft is medium, would have been happy to scrap it out in a pod but that's not really what you want to do. We had a nice aggressive curve but we're pretty terrible at blocking. Let's see if we had a route to a better deck.

Praying for Amulet of Vigor 🙏

DAILY DRAFT #5 Log here: www.17lands.com/draft/c515e9... Today's draft was completely broken. I end up with an outrageously powerful deck in a great archetype. I want to mostly look today at how well my support cards matched my power and what could have made it even better.

DAILY DRAFT #4 This deck is terrible, perfect for digging in to see how it could have been saved. Log: www.17lands.com/draft/9db3bf...

oooooooooops here it is! www.17lands.com/draft/2c8aca...
