@dominharvia @peter_husisian Had me stumped until I zoomed in on the graveyard - we can pact for Midnight Hunt draft banger Eccentric Farmer to get back Boseiju and channel it with the remaining one mana

@MrChecklistcard Sweet deck! A nice rotation send off for Nissa.
Voldaren Thrillseeker might do well as a 1-slot Arena-friendly wincon, low clicks to deal the first ~30 or so damage and can still go infinite if that's not enough. Random Lumra fling kills without full combo are cute upside.

New prize structure? What's that? 7-0 6-1 with totally not underworld breach

[David Olsen @Canadianbacn]

@karsten_frank A copied spell "remembers" the additional/alternative costs associated with the original. Solitude will sac, and Overlord enters with time counters. There was some atypical wording on impend that would have led to some strange things, but the recent rules update normalized it.

[David Olsen @Canadianbacn]

@MatthewLNass I believe the answer is no, outside of chaining card draw into a 2 card wincon. No miraculous "invasion but with flash" and no tutor+ to assemble a combo. Thought "maybe they reprinted shared summons into foundations while I wasn't looking" but no such luck

@mtgbentcard @GuI_Dukat Looks like I can't message you on twitter, but I'd be interested(assuming they don't put the Arena Championship on the same weekend)

@CoreyBaumeister The e-mail I got a couple weeks after my qual said it'd be in December, no specific date as yet

[David Olsen @Canadianbacn]

Good couple weeks for me in ol' Thunder Junction
Crime pays

@PandatheniceOne I actually started with a UBwg build similar to yours for the first match. Outlaw stitcher felt like it was underperforming so I cut it, and then when I looked at my remaining creatures double down started looking not good enough. Switched to green for a more solid creaturebase.

Got there in the Arena Qualifier just how you'd hope - a few hard sweats and a few easy rolls(shout out to Stoic Sphinx)

@NoorSin314 Likewise 🤝

@ghirapurigears Before OTJ spoilers started, I was exploring different ways to build the Aftermath Analyst shell and lamenting the lack of ways to sacrifice lands at will in standard, so when Pitiless Carnage got spoiled my eyes popped out of my skull like a cartoon character

[David Olsen @Canadianbacn]

@LilAmericanPunk 95% sure one was in one of my drafts - so that narrows it to Anthony Lee, Karl Sarap, Matt Sikkink Johnson, Akio Matsuzaki, Matthew Giudes, Greg Orange, Max Kominowski, Ben Stark, Nicole Tipple, Shuhei Nakamura, Arne Huschenbach, James Larsen-Scott, Masahide Moriyama, Reid Duke

@MrChecklistcard Prime POTY behaviour

@lordtupperware https://t.co/fg9evIcBOH
Tried to have a somewhat responsible manabase while cramming value in. Couldn't reasonably fit an island in for anchorage. Planning to slow game down and let lands win grind game. Anim Pakal is off plan but I want to believe in the power level

[David Olsen @Canadianbacn]

@ThoseDudesTV Hey there, glad you've enjoyed the deck. I haven't got any footage, but if you have anything you wanted to ask about you can shoot me a DM.

[David Olsen @Canadianbacn]

For posterity: the actual useful descriptive name might be Mono Blue Cauldron...but in my heart the deck is Cephalid Soul Food #MTGWorlds

@mtgbentcard @terribadmtg "Mr. Jensen, please, it's absolutely vital that the Pro Tour start inviting approximately 150 extra players"

[David Olsen @Canadianbacn]

@MrChecklistcard @Em_TeeGee Personally I'm partial to the couple of weeks we had between getting Salvager of Ruin as an upgrade and the revelation that Kethis was the same deck but approximately 20 times better

[David Olsen @Canadianbacn]

3-3 in draft, 4-4 in standard. I am the World Championship's perfectly average warrior #MTGWorlds
