NYSE Open Deck Choice
Jewel Shops is the best deck in Vintage right now. That's a bad matchup for Oath, I was eliminated from both Eternal Weekends last year and my NYSE trial top 8 all by Jewel Shops. This sent me into an identity crisis to find a deck that's better against Jewel than Oath.
I played Doomsday and realized I can't get the necessary reps before NYSE. I tried various Time Vault Lurrus Combo decks and was running head-first into Null Rods and Ouphes meant for Jewel Shops. Vexing Bauble is showin...

I won the first RCQ of Pioneer season!
I don’t play much Pioneer and am not an expert on this format or this deck. I copied a recent MTGO trophy list and read this article from Javier Dominguez:

I wish I could fully break this down in a way that is more helpful, but this was pure netdeckery on zero recent reps (though I...

In Modern I'm playing Temur Rhinos. One of my general Magic rules is "if you think a card should be banned, you should be playing it." I wouldn't be surprised if this deck is hit by Monday's incoming B&R update, but while I have it I'm going to shove it.

This is my list for The Boil, The Eminence Games Atlanta cEDH event I'm attending this weekend.
I didn't get as much prep as I'd hoped. The choices in my list are based on 1) How I like to play the deck 2) What decks I don't like losing to 3) Some fun cards I wanted to try.
Talion might become Wheel of Fortune still before the event, I'm hoping to get some games in tomorrow night and see how that feels.
Pittsburgh Travel Guide for Eternal Weekend
For people traveling to Eternal Weekend in my fine city: I am not a Pittsburgh travel agent, but here's some important stuff.
-Pittsburgh public transit sucks. The city is divided into neighborhoods by geographical features. Rivers, mountains, forests, bridges, tunnels... don't trust if google maps says something "is just a mile away," that could mean anything.
You can get from the airport to downtown by bus easily enough, but target things that are in walking distance or be ready...

It's here! EW Prague is this weekend. I board a plane tomorrow morning, so my time to test and tune is functionally over.
For Vintage, I'm playing Atraxa Oath. I only have about 50 matches of Vintage under me and only 15 of them with Oath, so I'm not qualified to write a whole primer or guide on that deck. I've been consuming Iamactuallylvl1 content for my information and if you're interested I suggest you do the same. I will be lucky enough to room with Iamactuallylvl1 for Prague and p...

SCGCon Pittsburgh: Hard Lessons
I got home from SCGCon Pittsburgh 5 minutes ago. My head is full of thoughts and I’m going to dump them out here both for you to learn from them and to help process them myself.
I played in the Modern 10K main event and the Legacy 5k Sunday event.
Other than random decks requested on the channel, I’ve not thought about Modern at all lately. I’m focusing on my Eternal Weekends and don’t have bandwidth to master 3 formats. I was honestly...

Hey everyone, with Eternal Weekend coming up I'm sure many of you are waiting for my deck choices.
I have a running "If EW was tomorrow" post in the "Bosh Updates" channel on the Patreon Discord server. That's where the freshest information will be.
I'll do a Patreon post before I leave for Prague with what I'm doing, but if you want the whole process to get there make sure you're in the Discord. :)

I won the SCGCon Baltimore Legacy 10K!
This list was posted in the Discord Thursday night before the event. Make sure you're in there for live updates!
For the sideboard guide, I had a rough cut guide based on an older list that was given to me by Alex of theepicstorm.com before the event. Now that I have some reps, I've updated it to reflect the current list and changed some of his plans based on my experience with the deck.
Be sure to tune into the channel on Tuesday, June...

For the Punt City 2 cEDH main event this coming weekend, I am playing Tymna + Kraum "Blue Farm." This is the macro archetype that I won Okotoberfest with last year with. It's basically "all the best cards" blue soup with Thassa's Oracle and Breach Combo as win conditions.
The deck was introduced to me as a "Turbo Ad Nauseam combo deck with card advantage in the command zone." In my time tuning and playing the deck, the biggest lesson I've learned is that this an awful Turbo Ad Naus deck...
