re: Violent Outburst -
Cascade into no mana cost suspend is such a weird space to keep doubling down

Today in Magic history, 30 years ago:
The concept of Mana Curve was unleashed upon the game by a 'goofy' red deck at an Atlanta Standard PTQ.
Paul Sligh tore through a field of mono-black Necro and green-white Geddon with draft chaff greater than the sum of its parts. 🧵

There's an excellent 15-minute primer on the deck at Tranquil Domain:

Paul Sligh's round 1 opponent: Me.
I won a game, but only after losing the first two.
Mid-90s Magic was weird.

The venue wasn't a game store - those barely existed. No, the PTQ was held at The Shining's Overlook Hotel transplanted into Atlanta.
It later hosted our first prerelease (Alliances) and Grand Prix (1998).
Demolished in 2000, it's got its own writeup.

Now do RCQs.
This is the most obvious RCQ promo possible:
perhaps the most widely played Standard 4-of for the foreseeable future, and from an underopened and unpopular set.
Imagine getting an in-universe version just for going to your LGS and playing competitive Magic.

HUGE props to WOTC this time around, amazing promo selection for the upcoming store champs!

My point stands even if the promos shown in the OP turn out to be a lame AFD joke

Spotlight Hoth 4 weeks ago (Lorwyn Limited) had over 2.6 times as many players as today's Standard Spotlight TMNT.
There's broad consensus that current Standard is healthy, diverse and fun. Feels like most players simply checked out of it.
Too many sets too quickly? Or...?

Lorwyn Eclipsed sealed and draft decks in replies
ALT Screenshot of final standings after draft. Shout to fazparte who was undefeated until the finals. My loss was in round 2 to Reiam who also made top 8.

I brought in the mountains and red cards often in the later rounds, usually swapping out the white 2 drop creatures and Feastling along with 2 plains.

* coldsnap was a lost file from 10 years ago
* we won't make Magic cards from outside IP
* we'll make cards from outside IP but not in competitive
* outside IP in comp is OK but only WotC IP (D&D)
* pioneer is not dead
--> you are here
* we won't make Harry Potter Magic cards

Today, two Atlanta-area RCQs 60 miles apart drew a TOTAL of 10 players.
Last season's double whammy of no timely ban (Vivi) massively unpopular set (Spiderslop) inflicted long-term harm upon the base of the competitive ecosystem.
Climbing out of it will take time.

Lorwyn Eclipsed @MTG_Arena Set Mastery stops at level 40. FORTY!
That's because the latest Slop set drops before the end of February.
Slow. Down.

Obviously the TMNT insertion into Lorwyn shouldn’t have occurred, but I would be no less enthusiastic for prerelease if we just got six play boosters instead of a foil d20 all this landfill-bound waste.
Keep it simple!
[knives out meme]
(1/2 🧵) We're aware of reports of Lorwyn Eclipsed prerelease kits containing foil promo cards from an incorrect set. This is not intentional and, if possible, stores should replace these promos with the appropriate ECL promos from other prerelease kits.

2026 Resolution:
Get through ONE flippin year without messing up a shoulder
Left side this time. Pic is a few weeks old - I’m almost a month out and doing well.
I still want to see your pets.

Had shoulder surgery today.
In a sling several weeks & likely heavy pain for a few days when the anesthesia wears off.
Pet pics welcome.
