Somehow Mystery Hunt is in 25 days? I don't quite believe it, but time to get the hype firing on all cylinders. Also a shameless plug if you like puzzles and want to join my team, let me know!π§©π

I love Magic The Gathering so much. Everything about it is so fun except the part where it is so complicated that I never have any idea what the fuck is going on.

I've been playing UW Control in Pioneer for a long time and decided to write up a guide for it! I think the deck rewards the time you put into it, and is a great contender for one of the top decks in the format. https://t.co/KS9BQjTenU

In 5 RCQs on Goblins this season, that's now 20-4 in swiss rounds (plus 4 IDs); if you like aggressive leaning decks, I think it's the place to be right now in Pioneer.

SB changes for the day: -1 Experimental Frenzy -1 Thoughtseize -1 Legion Warboss +1 Goblin Ringleader +2 Redcap Melee Expected to see a lot of Rak Sac and very little control, which were good calls; may still want 1 more Frenzy/Ringleader for midrange.

Played Goblins in the Pioneer Challenge to 5-2 for 19th! Felt very smooth. Props to @pintheris and @fjork3 for a great deck+SB guide. The Bushwhacker+Magmatic Chasm SB plan is what convinced me to try it out. https://t.co/TVcPbA0N1t
