Alchemy Best of Three Naya legends

Got to #1 on the Mtg arena ladder using this insane Naya deck made by @AlthMtg. I’m 15 years old and I believe that I am the youngest to get rank 1 so far. @fireshoes

@Colin_Dove @PlayMTG The way it’s worded I’d be inclined to say yes, but that seems obscenely powerful for mono red decks

@MaximeEdit @fireshoes 5 kappas is based

Does anyone have a good current affinity list/guide. I've got an RCQ next weekend and i havent played modern since the RC in october😅

[Magic Christian @MagicChristian3]

@SStricklandMMA @GoldenKnights Guess the love for ICE during the Hernandez fight stuck 🤣

Arena Direct SOS:

Somehow won a box with this pile of crap. Would've been surprised if you'd told me i got gems back with this one. @fireshoes

[Magic Christian @MagicChristian3]

Arena Direct SOS:

Got 1 box with this. Maybe i went too deep with the stress dream and RW dual but i dunno. Lost twice to aggro whilst on the draw 🫤. @fireshoes

[Magic Christian @MagicChristian3]

@PeanutDaBlobfis @SonRebell @fireshoes Im not sure that was the issue because a lot of decks dont have as much removal pre-board. The problem is that they are so bad into so many decks that having them main feels like a mistake.

Spotlight SOS London:

10-5 for 45th place at London. Good for a shiny liliana and some cash. Deck is a pain to play in paper, and tbh I don’t think it’s even that good. Prowess would’ve been a better choice. Hydra’s in the main was a terrible meta call. MU’s below. @fireshoes

@Nolimitsu_ * ONLY win in years 🤣

[Magic Christian @MagicChristian3]

@MatthewLNass Deck is sweet 🔥. Is there anything you’d recommend changing after seeing the protour a results?

[Magic Christian @MagicChristian3]

@tonimart0s Congrats 🥳

[Magic Christian @MagicChristian3]

@masoneclark Well you have to go 5-4 from there as you are guaranteed to have had at least one constructed win on day 1 to play in draft 2

Arena direct sealed SOS:

Back to back trophies. Feels good after a dry streak at the start. @fireshoes

[Magic Christian @MagicChristian3]

I thought It'd be funny to get chatgpt to make the last cut. 💀💀💀

[Magic Christian @MagicChristian3]

Arena direct sealed SOS:

Boxed with this ungodly pool. Its almost like opening all your broken rares in the same colours is a good thing. Who'd have thought😆. Thanks @xcblazeMtG for helping me navigate the last game❤️. @fireshoes

[Magic Christian @MagicChristian3]

Does anyone have a good guide for monumentless lessons in standard?
I think playing talent+ monument is bad in the current meta and so I want to learn other versions of the lessons package

I love Magic: the Gathering.

Anyone out there who claims to love this game, and be as driven to win at it, as much as I? If so, please reach out - would love to talk :) To the pros and testing teams - if you should happen to want a deep analyst who literally never stops talking and thinking MtG (and is, if I say so myself, not too shabby at all), I'm here :)

Because I am, in addition to being a ridiculously passionate MtG lover, also a ridiculously competitive person. The natural extension of loving this game, combined with a desire to win the game, is to be the best, the very, very best, the tippy top best at the game - or to be a part of a teammate and friend's climb towards that same mountaintop.

Let the portfolio below (and further conversation) serve as your judge of whether connecting with me is worth your time. This Drive folder contains a curated selection of some of my Magic work, spanning hundreds of pages, written and drafted without consideration of the whys and hows and who-fors and the M-word that ends with "onetisation". It has guides, deck analyses, evidence of iterative processes in deckbuilding, essays exploring metas and meta-breaking strategies, and most recently, an ongoing Limited set review. Sort of my love letter to Magic, but the letter is actually a collection of analytic essays and philosophical expositions on gameplay and game design, plus there are a whole bunch of spreadsheets and weighted averages with a sprinkle of decision mathematics. There is no paywall, because who on earth puts love compendia behind paywalls?

For all the time spent complaining about variance, state of the format, etc. Magic players too often forget why and how they play this game in the first place.

I have not had that particular issue. Every moment strikes anew, with the beauty, the complexity, the sheer joy and wonder and awe of Magic's world (even if the worldbuilding and lore at times could have used help, heh). Variance can be accounted for, and it is worth accounting for, if it means you can - with your identity, your capacity, your disposition - be a wizard or a god or an army commander or a lich or a spellsplinging maniac with a sword and stand on top of the world, the summit that demands sacrifice, resilience, and unforgiving consistency.

But perhaps what sets Magic apart from other fantasy games in terms of lore is the opportunity for identity formation and expression. Whether it is the shadows of Lorwyn or the metal of Mirrodin or the all-consuming Eldrazi or the guilds of Ravnica or the isolated outcrops of Innistrad or the rich lushness of Shandalar or the constellations of Theros or - I could go on, but the point is, there is a place for everyone in Magic. And with colour identity and diverse mechanics and themes and synergies, there is a deck and a playstyle for everyone, in worlds as gorgeous as and more gorgeous than and as crazy as and crazier than our own.

I love Magic: the Gathering. There's not much I wouldn't do for this game. Do you love Magic like I do? You will always have a friend in me to talk to, for whatever Magical purpose.

@fireshoes dear sir, would you be so good as to repost, so possibly the right people end up seeing this?

[Magic Christian @MagicChristian3]

@xcblazeMtG @fireshoes Oh it absolutely is, but i was found not guilty thanks to the rest of the 💩 i was forced to play.

[Magic Christian @MagicChristian3]

Qualifier weekend day 2:

Meh. I had some nice bombs, but the average card in my pool was really weak. UW isn't really a thing in this format. Drew pretty poor and tbh played pretty poorly. Time to test historic @fireshoes
