Getting to go live and determine our 2025 SAVIOR OF PIONEER! www.twitch.tv/crew3mtg (5-min delay)

Can’t wait to give @manaricflair.bsky.social and @captain1nsano.bsky.social their Christmas gifts so I finally post them here, they’re great.

Oh helloooooooo Bard Class

📢 BIG NEWS.. Stay tuned for an announcement of TWO Pioneer tournaments in the Central Texas area. Details to come. Save the dates: 1/31/26 in San Antonio and 2/1/26 in College Station One will be a $1K and BOTH are HBMO qualifier events (1 round Bye awarded to each winner).

Having trouble with our podcast host, will try uploading again in the morning. Sorry to our early commute listeners.

No podcast this week! Hope all of our US listeners enjoy the holiday with whoever you choose chose to spend it with. Be sure to support your LGS’ this weekend, and good luck to anyone battling it out!

There are two wolves within me this standard season…….

Outside of magic and warhammer on of my favorite casual hobbies is hunting for weird/random action figures when my wife goes out thrifting. Usually I buy stuff from when I was a kid, which is why I think PoF is THE BEST Star Wars figure line, but sometimes I see things I can’t resist………like this guy

I think the schadenfreude around Pioneer has been the hardest thing this year. It’s an echo chamber of negativity for people with nothing to gain. Meanwhile wizards is just surprise Pikachu face when numbers are down on a format they refuse to run events for.

Being sick, editing episode 300, and preparing for extra life are taking a toll this weekend……..buuuuuuuut it’s all going to be worth it!

Recording episode 300 this week was a crazy experience. Something wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing community and the love and support of my two best friends who agreed to record a podcast with me SIX years ago! Gonna be delayed release because it’s a big one, thanks for understanding

I was joking when I said they were going to give Huey 5minutes for an announcement and then spend the rest of the time talking about why your commander deck is a seven……….this game is cooked.

Sorry Pioneer, but it’s time for real gamer hours. BO JACKSON BATTLE ARENA 10K

Got the enjoy a small pioneer side event at SCGcon today with the boys! Managed to get the clean 3-0 after one heck of a spirits mirror! It wasn’t much, but those matches reminded me of how good magic can be @fireshoes.bsky.social R1: UW Control 👻👻 R2: Mono-white humans 👻🚫👻 R3: UW Spirits 👻🚫👻

Chris and I are heading over to the RC from our hotel soon. If you see us say hi! We’re going to try and get a cube draft going in a little bit

Haircut and a beard trim ahead of RC Houston! Who are we going to see there????

Wow, I feel like everything we’ve seen so far on Avatar and TMNT really just shine a spotlight on how bad they dropped the ball with Spider-Man…..should have sucked it up and just kept it 80 cards. The set looks so embarrassing now.

A foil filled cube mail-day! A mix of cards that were missing still and some of the recent additions from the Dragonstorm/Final Fantasy/EoE update

Nothing to me proves that people don’t get promoted by experience or knowledge anymore than conversations like I’m having to say with a Director of IT who’s complaining about a piece of software taking 10-20 seconds to load from a remote file share while locally installed MS Word only takes 4-5.

We kind of already knew next season was standard, but having it start immediately after this one during the holiday season and run into the end of March is long. Also would have REALLY liked to see what the other 2 season formats are. Just tell us if you took pioneer out back.

Heathcliff has been a big meme between some of my friends for the past few weeks and so I was inclined to turn my cat Maggie into heathcliff themed sticker.

🏆My Creator Pioneer bracket tournament WEEK 4 pairings for the Finals are here!👏🏻 I will be streaming this matchup on my Twitch Stream tomorrow @ 6pm MDT: Twitch.tv/moongirlmagic🔴 Good luck! @crew3mtg.bsky.social @gabethatguyyouknow.bsky.social#pioneere#mtgpioneere#creatorshowdownw#mtg#mtgcommunityty

It’s not over until we see the RCQ schedule. There are still 2 RCQ formats for next year we don’t know about and 2/3 of the PT’s announce have already had their RCQ seasons happen and they don’t match those formats!

“There will be fewer sets next year”

Hmmmmmmm I wonder what this could be for?

Not sure why the podcast hasn’t been pushed out, I’ll try to get it resolved later this afternoon. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Going live for some pioneer action! Can we win out bracket match against @jafferttv.bsky.social???? Twitch.tv/crew3mtg

Hey everyone, something’s come up so @jafferttv.bsky.social and I are rescheduling for Thursday, same time 7:30pm cst!

I’ll be going live tonight for some Pioneer action at 730pm cst. Going head to head against @jafferttv.bsky.social as part of @moongirlmagic.bsky.social’s creator tournament. The phoenix’s might have flown last night, but tonight Halloween comes early!

If you aren’t reading Akane Banashii weekly you’re missing out on some of the best art and storytelling in manga. Don’t wait for the anime next year, get started now. You all know I love One Piece, but damn Akane is my favorite thing on any shelf right now, American comics included.

Wheels fell off in top-4, but we were drawing gas and spittin’ fire all day! Pingers getting the job done. Got first pick of the foil laughing Jasper split in top-4. @fireshoes.bsky.social 1) UW Control - 🦎💀🦎 2) Dimir - 🦎🦎 3) Vivi - 🦎💀🦎 4) Vivi - 🦎🦎 5) ID T4) mono-white - 💀💀

Heads up everyone, have something important for work tomorrow so podcast will be delayed till Friday night/Saturday morning. Thanks for understanding, the BnR announcement announcement crashout is worth it though!

Update your homepages! countingdownto.com?c=6557064

Small Indie Company, we’re doing our best plz. magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

And now I earn an achievement and it doesn’t even count

Dear rando arena players. I’m glad you enjoy brawl…..I don’t, I really can’t stand what commander has done to this game. But I really want the silly little yargle title. I don’t want to play try hard fake commander. Pls just concede to me and then we can both be on our own way.

You mean after all the great Pioneer action last week? (My pov from the discord showdown will be out this weekend). I gotta talk about Spiderman and Vivi???????

Can’t let Lee Corso down on his last show!

This week we decided to take a break from all the vivi’s in the world and check back in on how our favorite format is doing…….turns out Pioneer is looking pretty sick right now!!!!! RCQ’s wheeeeeeeen???? open.spotify.com/episode/2aYK...

Wizards needs to stop stealing my ideas. www.trophysmack.com/collections/...

Didn’t know this figure existed, great find for my Power of the Force Collection. I don’t usually like the buy the end of the line figures when they loose the crazy proportions but the fact that this Motti figure is posed and packaged mid choke is hilarious

Friday night, what are your daily practices?

So after bathing in the Comal river all weekend I come back refreshed and ready to deliver a sick under $75 75 for standard that I think will be fnm store champs viable. All week!! @crew3mtg.bsky.social @servotoken.bsky.social the budget man please approve #Budget #MTG moxfield.com/decks/QUWqDs...

Finally got some art up in my office! Going to hang the giant Sauron next week.
