Palladium pro and fourth-best cohost of @alliedstrats. Not controlled by, endorsed by, or to be confused for Benhamin Weitz (@bsweitz123), except on coverage.

[Ben Weird @bsweird123]

@bsweitz123 @fireshoes @Zach_Dubin @TristanMTG Why wouldn't they just let me replace you?

[Ben Weird @bsweird123]

I'm so unlucky that @bsweitz123 retired

[Robert Taylor 🔥 @fireshoes]

Are you serious @MagicEsports? Again?

[Ben Weird @bsweird123]

@bsweitz123 I was worried people would already associate "bsweitz" with "low credibility" and didn't want that to bias the results.

[Ben Weird @bsweird123]

Does having a parody account destroy a designer's credibility?

[Ben Weird @bsweird123]

Few people know I was actually hired at Wizards specifically because of this issue. Now my day job is just detecting infinite loops; I'm actually the one with the button to restart your MTGO game when something weird happens.

[Ben Weird @bsweird123]

@jkyu06 @armlx Currently there is no card by that name, but this will be Exponential Growth starting on April 23rd, when the set becomes legal for tabletop play. Preorder your sealed product now!

What was my podcast called?

[Allied Strategies Podcast @AlliedStrats]

This is our show's final episode, and we have original co-host Neal Oliver (@3quity4all) on to help us send it off in style! Hear about our favorite memories and magic card designs as we send @bsweitz123 off to a job at Magic play design!

This weekend is the MOCS, and we're looking into the state of the tournament's formats: Pioneer, Modern, and Cube.

Which of our hosts would you put back if you had to London mulligan this podcast?

[Allied Strategies Podcast @AlliedStrats]

This week: strategy discussion of the London Mulligan, non-strategy discussion of the city of London, and cooking discussion of the humble donut.

[Ben Weird @bsweird123]

I feel like I'm somewhere between the bottom third and the halfway point in terms of hosts on this podcast.

[Allied Strategies Podcast @AlliedStrats]

This week Benjamin is getting ready for a tournament he’s decided to refer to as Worlds! Learn all about the Standard and Historic metagames he’s expecting and the decks he’s picked for each format.

[Ben Weird @bsweird123]

Rest assured, Omnath Strategies will return next week.

[Allied Strategies Podcast @AlliedStrats]

Bad news: No episode this week - Good news: It's because there's so much mtg to grind that we'll have a bunch to talk about next week!

[Ben Weird @bsweird123]

Cowards can't listen to this week's episode of Allied Strategies.

[Allied Strategies Podcast @AlliedStrats]

We have selected more new cards and discussed them.

https://t.co/hnF5Yj8xve

[Allied Strategies Podcast @AlliedStrats]

Thus begins the first of several weeks where we'll pick some Zendikar Rising cards and talk about them

[Ben Weird @bsweird123]

Just going to delete previous tweet...was hoping to pay compliments to some great hosts, but I understand that we can't have nice things when it comes to Magic Twitter.

Everyone is the best Allied Strategies host of all time. Congrats on being tied for 1st!
