This chart aligns with Anthony of Bostons predictions of 9 months of great strife in the US starting at the tail end of 2026

Just sayin… it’s 9 months between breaching the secdef floor in late October and depletion in late July 2027

Bracket System vs Power Level and Rule Zero Discussion

I know there is a lot of discourse out there on how decks are categorized (bracket system vs power level system). I was wondering what people’s thoughts are when building their decks within certain power levels or in building decks that fit one power level but play at different power levels (either built in lower level play in higher level or built at higher power levels and play at lower power levels). What are the critical components you all consider when deciding how to describe the strength of your decks.

Additionally, I am curious about what people’s thoughts think about in terms of what each system does well or poorly during rule zero discussions. Some of my thoughts are collected in the first diagram I drafted that I attempted to make in way that highlighted the positives of different systems while being realistic to the actual gameplay of decks built in each power level/bracket. The other attached graphics are those that you commonly see out there for helping you to think about deck strength. Does anyone find mine helpful or potentially more fitting, confusing, etc than the current systems and guidelines for discussing deck strength? Which of these do you typically trust/use the most when building your own decks?

Which cards are these?

These cards are extracted from the corner of a photo of a play mat. The original image was at an angle, and correcting that warped the cards. I'm trying to verify if the cards are real, but I can't read the text.

Thanks for the help!

Unbeatable Squirrel Girl: Update

I just wanted to let you all know, after my prior post about how she IS in fact beatable, and how this is an egregious flavor fail, that I continue to beat every single deck that has played Squirrel Girl against me, showing now with an adequate amount of data that she is in fact not very good and needs to have her title errata’d in order to reflect this. THABK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER

Dear WotC: I would cube draft 5x more if it was half the price

Seriously, for a ghost draft the price is way too high. Cube is special, so it’s fun and I am willing to pay to do it, but pricing it higher than quick draft, where I do get to keep my pool, is just not justifiable. I would happily spend $20 a week on cube drafts at $5 a pop. I will not pay $20 for 2.
