I made a fun-as-hell Azorius Prowess deck built around Lam, Storm-Crane Elder for Slow Start Alchemy MWM. He's the only creature and it's filled with cheap interaction and card draw/selection. I can get a Lam pretty consistently and if he sticks on the field he goes absolutely friggin' nuts. I'm going to take out a few of the less impactful cards and put in 4x Dragoon's Lance and Astrologian's Planisphere for a few more threats, but I think it could actually be competitive n the ladder. #MTGArena

Welp, I can retire from #MTGxTMNT draft now. Following up The Neutrinos with Sally Pride and having her not die? That's a bucket list item. Casting Raphael, Tough Turtle the following turn was not necessary but I did it anyway.

Did an Aftermath flashback draft yesterday, and I *somehow* won the first game despite three, count 'em, THREE mulligans (all three hands had only mana of one colour and cards of the other). I ended up in a pretty decent Orzhov sacrifice deck with a ton of those phyrexian-mana transforming creatures, but honestly the fact that the other player didn't get their third land drop for like four turns probably helped, lol. The gods of RNG were against us both that day #MTG #MTGArena

Weird Pick 2 trophy run with mono-blue, of all things; the white cards in the image are the deck I could have made before realizing it was easier to just cut them all out. This deck did some silly things while drawing a ton of cards, but my first-pick Don & Leo never hit the field.

Ran back BW for another #MTGxTMNT Pick 2 4-1. Lost to Leatherhead, because Hexproof is still a stupid mechanic. #magicthegathering #mtgarena

#MTGxTMNT Pick 2 Fun Police gets there today. Not an ideal deck since my 2-drops were mostly trash and poor enablers, but got there. Never drew Kunoichi or K's Technique; only saw Mutanimals in the game I lost due to not having WW. #magicthegathering #mtgarena

Tried to make the Mardu Blight deck work in MWM On The Edge and got utterly wrecked by Izzet Lessons the whole time. The creatures that use up blight counters are just too expensive and too understatted when they come in. Had probably a dozen of my Gnarlback Elms eat an immediate Firebending Lesson over the course of the event. Didn't even get the full 3 wins before I gave up in frustration. A whole frickin' pack's worth of rare wildcards I sank into this hoping I could make it do the thing. #MTGArena

@GrimDeck @Fruan @BluJBird Yeah I played a few matches with it yesterday (on Arena of course), I see what you mean. I have yet to see Springleaf Drum really pop off though.

I suppose I have a few days before everyone on Arena starts playing decks designed to beat it, I'll see if I can take advantage of that time 😀

Bit mixed feelings after 1st glance to the new #mtg set at #mtgarena . Usually I get instinct where to go first ("oh I want to try golgari tribe/dimir deck destroyer/monowhite life pump...) but now the mechanics are all over the board 🤷‍♂️

Ok, drei Trophies hintereinander hatte ich glaube ich noch nie. 🥳
Schade, dass #MTGECL schon wieder vorbei ist, ich mochte das Set. Und wie man sieht, kam ich damit auch ganz gut klar. 😉
Eine Winrate von 66% (genau gesagt 41:21) hatte ich bisher nur bei LTR (und fast bei OTJ).
