They wrote explanations for every format this time, which shows that thought is being put into something. Unfortunately, most of the explanations themselves are bad, so there's that. I can't believe I'm saying this, but there are too many formats. Arena feels like the result of a wish I made...

Played this deck last night. One of my opponents quickly quickly set up an explosive Underworld Breach combo and was going to attempt to loop Last Wish before I got a fourth turn, but I sacrificed Mogg Fanatic to ping his Obeka, Splitter of Seconds and then sacrificed Goblin Chirurgeon and Skirk...

Played this deck last night. I might have had a somewhat decent game if I'd ever seen a single green mana. Alas, I did not. Didn't really get to do anything. One of my opponents used an engine to ping the crap out of the rest of us with Syr Konrad, the Grim. I was down to 8 life and he killed...

Despite using Land Tax every turn and drawing cards multiple times, I mostly just kept drawing lands when I played this deck last night. I couldn't get creatures on the battlefield or in my graveyard that did anything really meaningful. Still, my opponents usually couldn't hurt me much either...

Against my better judgment, I tried to play this deck in a pod that was generally too powerful for it. Despite getting an engine of Argothian Enchantress + Auratog + Rancor going early on, I didn't really draw into anything that protected me or threatened my opponents in any meaningful way, so I...

Brought this deck out for my final game last night. I keep meaning to dismantle this gimmick of a deck, as it has sort of worn out its welcome. But this pod hadn't really seen it before and actually it was a very good game. Early on, things were dominated by the same Muldrotha deck that almost...

Played this deck again. Well, I got to do stuff, but in a surreal way. I was actually pretty far behind the rest of the table for most of the game. So, Player A was winning and had kind of shut down Player C. Player B had an impressive board state, but couldn't seem to pull things together to...

Tried this deck out on Wednesday. One of my opponents became the archenemy at the table. I expressed the sentiment that if this trend continued, the guy across from him would probably take the game with his combo deck because everyone's resources were being used to contain the archenemy. Well...

Perusing the stupidly vast list of potential commander options from the Final Fantasy set, I discovered that one of them has the same name as my little brother. Well, it's got to be him, then. I then learned that Joshua here actually has an older brother and that the older brother is *also* a...

This stupid deck won another game! I had a slow start, but got Warped Devotion out on my third turn. Someone attacked me and I responded with Recoil on the attacker. Despite failing to get creatures out, I dealt with a couple more attacks by sacrificing Seal of Removal and by channeling Otawara...

Brought this deck out again and had a really awkward game. Despite taking lots of game actions and eventually drawing lots of cards, I couldn't find any combination of cards that really threatened to kill my opponents or that could protect me from them. Before my last turn, I used Clock of Omens...

I really want to get more games in with this deck, but it's causing me to play it in 1v1 games out of desperation, which is not ideal. Got stuck waiting a couple of days ago and played it against a deck helmed by Koma, World-Eater. My opponent initially couldn't find any creatures, but was...

Played this deck for my final game last night. It held its own surprisingly well. If I'd gotten some source of card advantage, I think I'd have run away with the game. I got some hits in, but had to scramble to deal with bigger creatures. Got to use banding to mess with combat a bit. In an epic...

I played this in a five-player pod yesterday, the only actual multiplayer game I was able to get. Danitha, Benalia's Hope survived a Blasphemous Act thanks to Caduceus, Staff of Hermes. I killed one opponent and two more dropped out because they were on some kind of time crunch. This left me...

I played this deck against a "squirrels" deck in a 1v1 game. Actually, I only saw a couple of squirrels. What I saw instead was my opponent setting up the most stereotypically broken token combo stuff with Academy Manufactor, Doubling Season, Skullclamp, etc. He kept taking really long turns...

I brought this deck to what I guess has become my alternate LGS yesterday. Allegedly, there'd been some folks playing EDH at the store earlier in the day, but they'd left by the time I got there. Brought this out for a 1v1 just because only two of us there were interested in an EDH game at the...

Played this deck in a long game last night. I had a really bad start, but an Island alongside a Phyrexian Tower gave me the mana I needed to cast Anvil of Bogardan on turn two and try to dig for black mana. Unfortunately, one of my opponents immediately blew up the Anvil with Naturalize. No idea...

Tried this deck out last night. Although I was unsurprisingly outclassed, the deck did have a few tricks up its sleeves. In the end, I had a 10/10 Phytohydra that could swing with impunity against the all-green army of my last remaining opponent, but he got an infinite combo to pump up his own...

By the way, I built this deck like a week ago, but I still haven't actually gotten to play it because I've been sick lately. Hoping that turns around soon here...
