A Public Service Announcement for those attending the Denver Regional Championship tomorrow: snow is predicted for tomorrow. Might be all day; might only be at night. Could be a light dusting; could be several feet. That's just how it works in this town. Plan accordingly.

@BasicMountain I realize that this is falls under next order consequences, but the evidence for scamming Grief alone being a problem is thin at best. Everyone was doing that with Ephemerate after MH2 and it didn't work out. I know it's unfun, but it's not too powerful.

[David Ernenwein @OutsidedInsight]

@AdamECohen @CtTabletop Mine would if they'd fit. For the first prerelease anyway.

I realize that Magic twitter already has strong opinions on Rakdos Scam, but can I add some data to the fire? https://t.co/YTb0CBvust

[David Ernenwein @OutsidedInsight]

@AdamECohen Been saying that Fury scams are the harder to beat than Griefs. Seems like you agree?

[David Ernenwein @OutsidedInsight]

@ComeauPaulJ I'm not a member, but I never heard anything good about that organization, so I'm ok with it going away. I'm not ok with there being nothing in that announcement of what is replacing it.

[David Ernenwein @OutsidedInsight]

Well, that's sure a way to start a season. #BroncosCountry

I'm a huge nerd, so when I saw @OutsidedInsight 's Modern Metagame article (https://t.co/i75sKDz6Oh) I went ahead and did something similar for Pioneer!

@LessAlex Players will try to make it so. They will be disappointed.

[David Ernenwein @OutsidedInsight]

@IsaacKing314 If I recall correctly, Narset makes Library useless since it limits you to one instance of "draw a card" per turn. It doesn't matter if you didn't actually draw the card, you used up your instance to dredge instead.

[Quiet Speculation @QuietSpec]

The One Ring is driving the metagame changes in Modern. However, the impact isn't particularly high, and the card's power remains unclear says @OutsidedInsight.

The Reserved List isn't going anywhere. Could Wizards modify the list so they can have their cake and eat it too? @ComeauPaulJ shares his thoughts on the subject.

This week @LessAlex shares with us a brand new face in the Pioneer metagame: Boros Pia Aggro! Is it a flash in the pan, or here to stay as a top-tier strategy?

[Quiet Speculation @QuietSpec]

The June Modern Metagame Update is here. New additions have stirred Modern's mostly stagnant metagame, but that might not be permanent. @OutsidedInsight has the details.

Every Limited format holds a lesson. LTR's is about sequencing. This week, Rob considers optimizing sequencing in LTR Draft, especially with The Ring and amass.

[Quiet Speculation @QuietSpec]

This week David S. looks at specs based on legends from The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth that will make a splash in Commander. What makes a good buy?

[Quiet Speculation @QuietSpec]

@OutsidedInsight explains why Vintage on Magic Online is way underplayed, offering a crash course on its rules of engagement. Be warned: here there be dragons.

https://t.co/VXhgyOUUi1

[Quiet Speculation @QuietSpec]

Tales of Middle Earth is not Standard-legal, but its power level is low like that of a Core Set. With that in mind, how much should draft booster boxes cost? @sigfig8 investigates.

[David Ernenwein @OutsidedInsight]

The longer this goes on, the more it looks like my theory that Wizards' marketing department held onto the box with the serialized The One Ring is plausible.

[Quiet Speculation @QuietSpec]

It's not that Jeskai is bad, but Rob's found the wedge operates a bit differently than expected. Meanwhile, red continues to over-perform in LTR Draft.
