Just to share a different perspective than some, if paper tournaments don’t come back after the pandemic is over, I’ll likely quit playing the game competitively.

I don’t believe I have ever felt so happy waiting at an airport after losing a match of Magic. They say second place is the worst, but right now it doesn’t feel that far away from first... 1/4

My fellow draft addicts, it's not about us facing more rares, we'll adjust to that, it's about people not getting to draft as much (or at all) because of higher prices.

I see a weird cognitive dissonance in many Magic players (and, frankly, people in other areas) between 1) recognizing someone as an expert, even praising their understanding of a topic and 2) not defaulting to trusting this person's opinion when a disagreement arises. 1/15

If there's one tournament where I didn't expect such a strong start, it's this one... Magic is weird sometimes.
Now comes the hard part: staying vigilant to not fall off on day 2 like undefeated people often do!

I see many people saying Magic has no distinctive IP like it's just a basic, obvious truth, but it's... not? Sure, it doesn't have one big cultural product, like a movie, a series or a book, and sure it has evolved a lot over the years... 1/3

Haters may hate, but Sultai is playable again !
(15th sideboard card is the 4th Extinction event)
Basically, you interact with anything you want in the 75, and get to play arguably the two most powerful cards in Standard : Uro and Nissa.

Alas, I didn't, and since the mistake was only caught after the cascade trigger and a draw step, the judge ruled that we couldn't go back.
Having gained such a massive, unfair advantage from my untapped Marsh, I felt like the best way to fix the game state was to concede.

If you never expect anything, any result comes as a good surprise and you never feel like you « have to do more ». That’s something I learnt in Warsaw two years ago and that has followed me ever since. I hope I can preserve this mindset as long as I’ll be competing. 4/4

We do NOT know the formats for Worlds. I would hate it if there was no draft involved, but that « info » comes from a dubious article that doesn’t provide a source for it and also claims the shuffler is rigged. Can we advocate for more draft without spreading rumors ?

What UB detractors dislike is that Magic's multiverse is expanding in a non-cohesive way: that new worlds and characters are being shoved into it for artificial growth. That's a perfectly valid concern. 3/3

Rewatching some of the draft coverage, I’m baffled that they apply 17lands data to what is essentially not the same format.
Also, where are these grades coming from??
Having the players talk more about their decks/how they approach the format would have led to better content imo.

I don't think I've ever been as tilted as in this limited format. Every two days I'm about to start a Twitter thread about everything that's wrong with it, maybe I'll get to it when the frustration level gets high enough.

That reminds me of a Twitter thread I can't find again describing how a cascade of small decisions that alienate a player base for short-term profit can, in time, cause a game's sudden downfall. For Magic, we may not see the effects yet, but I'm more and more worried.

I might tweet stuff about autism in the future, I feel like it's widely misunderstood even by Magic players (which is ironic because, as a potential special interest, it's bound to attract some of us) and often talked about without naming it (I've done it a lot myself).

Another important thing I was reminded of: noone can play perfectly. The game's just too hard. You aim at perfection, but sometimes you stumble, even badly in front of 1000s of people, and that's ok. Fuck those who'll take it as a sign you don't belong, and keep grinding.

Some thoughts :
- PVDDR and Ondrej Strasky have the best deck of the tournament ;
- other Temur lists are lacking Opts ;
- despite upgrading the usual build, monored players are in for a rough week-end, especially because contrary to popular belief, the Temur m-u isn’t very good.
It's the moment you've all been waiting for!

Props to both teams 🤝on their incredible performances today! Having played Magic for a while, but not as much as some, I'm in this strange position of feeling neither like a true MtG boomer, nor like a zoomer; yet it's inspiring to see the young(er) guys crushing it that hard.

... but I wouldn't have had such a big crush on the game as a kid if it was "just a set of rules". The multiverse pulled me in. Many different worlds with their own identities =/= no identity overall, there are (quite literally) infinite ways to build a cohesive multiverse. 2/3

I often get asked after a match if I "saw any mistakes" or "what [my opponent] could have done better". These questions, even coming from players who genuinely want to improve, are very rarely conducive to improvement, because Magic is a game of asymmetric information. 1/5

Now that RC Ghent is over, I wanted to clarify what happened in my round 1, since most of it was off camera.
On turn 4 of G3, I played a Blooming Marsh untapped, missing the Dryad Arbor that was sitting with my nonland permanents.

As much as I despise giving your word to then take it back, the whole "public apology" culture regarding tournament wrongdoings has always felt fake and contrived to me. What does it mean exactly that someone is able to produce a statement that checks all the boxes? Nothing.

So many times over the tournament, I thought I was done and came back, thanks to some incredible draws (and some tight plays here and there). I wasn’t always the sharpest, but I’m still very happy about my play overall, including some decisions that ended up costing me games. 2/4

Drafting infinite SIR has made me rediscover how GOOD filler-type playables are for the health of a format. They prevent people from forcing whatever deck they like best and always getting a good version of it. They also make the average game more scrappy, rewarding playskill.

This Standard format is almost as bad as magic players’ tendency to exaggerate everything.
Standard has always been solved at some point, with one or two decks dominating and a lot of people stubbornly refusing to join them. This one just happens to have been solved faster. 1/4

Finally, I miss tournament adrenaline. I get some from home, but it’s often like I have to inject it to myself from a bottle, it doesn’t feel real. I miss win-and-ins, lose-and-outs, and remaking the world the night before when you should sleep but can’t.

If you're playing a tournament on MTGO, I think it's wrong in the first place to publicly ask your opponent to help you work around MTGO rules, however imperfect they are. Either they refuse and you make them look bad or they accept and you make them lose equity.

After seeing other people give (great) answers to this, I figured I'd add mine.
1 - Take your time. Your autopilot may be good, but it's not perfect.
2 - Play multiple formats / deck types. In addition to being refreshing, diversity will give you a wider perspective on the game.

I wish « biggest amount of frustration felt when cast by an opponent » wasn’t the main criterion for banning cards now.
This is such a level 0 approach. If you want games to be fun, ask yourself HOW they get to the point when resolving an average 5-mana spell becomes an issue.
