@SimonNielsenTCG @alabasterwolfie I've known since high school and @StolenSock16 I met at The Bananas PT Testing House for PTMSH!

[Kyle Gibson @KyleGbsn]

#PTMSH didn't go well, but we're running it back for the Sunday Re'Q event

What has gone well is the vibes of Team Bananas supported by @mtg_bazaar @GatherersTavern and @AIEGames

Was the night before Christmas...

Bananas do #PTMSH tomorrow!!

[Ben Tudman (he/him) @bent_mtg]

Drafting stops for nothing #PTMSH

[Ben Tudman (he/him) @bent_mtg]

The other side of the Bananas limited chat! Almost all together now, 3 days to go till #PTMSH

[Ben Tudman (he/him) @bent_mtg]

Rampant Growth, Worldy Tutor, and the Bananas (casually sliding us in there) all coincidentally turned up to the same holiday park for our testing houses. I'm happy and/or sad to report we don't have a pool, we have a lake and hot tubs #PTMSH

[Ben Tudman (he/him) @bent_mtg]

Bananas are Back in Business! Busy as Bee's here Breaking Braft

Thanks @mtg_bazaar for the product!!

Heading back to the Pro Tour after finishing 6-1-1 and in 10th place at the ANZ RC!

Jeskai Gwinko is the most fun I've had in standard in a long time, and I'm super happy I managed to get the PT invite with a deck that I love 💙❤️🩶

I actually did it. Playing card games for ~20 years, it’s always been my dream to make the Pro Tour.

Today, that dream finally became a reality. I am still in shock, and I can’t stop smiling from ear to ear.

See you in London! 🇬🇧🥹

Decided to write about my first week in the Win-a-Mox highlander league.
Having a great time in this format: its nice to be excited about Magic again after months of disinterest.
Also the first article on the Faction website: hopefully more to come!

[Kyle Gibson @KyleGbsn]

Hopefully next week we'll have some good results to report back on!

[Kyle Gibson @KyleGbsn]

Unfortunate that some of this is not so relevant now due to the most recent bans. But the memories from the event are still sweet! And they can be used to find ways to improve and move forward!

Also, had to give Teferi a proper sendoff from standard. Other formats though...

[The Faction MTG Podcast @FactionMTGPod]

Episode 2 is up!
Had some editing delays this week, so the episode is late...
So late that the 4C Rec deep dive we recorded was irrelevant and got cut 😅
Still, we also chatted about @KyleGbsn's PTF so go check it out on Souncloud, Stitcher or Spotify!

[Kyle Gibson @KyleGbsn]

Think my deck choice and tuning were okay. Temur or 4C Reclamation seemed to be clearly the best deck in testing. But I could not and probably will not ever win a mirror match with that deck.

Think that's all I've got for now.

Goodbye #PTFinals

#PTFinals Results Thread

Lost Round 1 against Bant Ramp 1-2

Played poorly Game 1 and deservedly lost, then we split the postboard games. Have to tighten up for the next round.

0-1

[Kyle Gibson @KyleGbsn]

Short results thread this time, which is a little disappointing. But getting here is achievement enough.

The 2am start into 8.5 hours of playing was definitely rough, something to work on for future events that don't consider the Australian Timezone...
