Here's something a bit different from the usual "how to build" posts.
I only did one Arena Direct this time around and went 7-0. The pool was strong but it took me quite a while to figure out a right combination. If you want to try building it yourself here's a link: https://sealeddeck.tech/eom7nSpsGZ
I'll post my final build, which went undefeated in the comments.
Hello folks, I'm sharing my article about the Hobbit cards that could see play in Pauper. If you don't have the time to check the full article, they are:
What do you think about these? Is there something I've missed?
For the folks who missed the Preview Panel from Magic Con Amsterdam, here's a quick recap.
The three Universes Within upcoming MTG sets in 2027 are going to be:
Nauctis is a brand-new underwater. It's full of sea-based fantasy creatures, Merfolk being just one of the many. Humans are the outsiders here. This is also a beginning of new story-arc.
Release date: February 5th, 2027
Kamigawa Titanbreach combines Kamigawa and Ikoria, and we get mechs versus monsters battle. Ikoria is invading Kamigawa through the Omenpaths and starts an all-out planar war.
Release date: June 4, 2027
Zhalfir is a world of eternal darkness. It's inspired from afro-fantasy. While various cards featured Zhalfir before, there wasn't a full Zhalfir set. It will be familiar, but also changed.
Release date: October 1st, 2027
We also got the release dates for Universes Beyond sets, but that was pretty much it for those:
Reality Fracture is the end of the story arc, which started back in 2023 with Wilds of Eldraine. The 5 Lorwyn planeswalkers return with 2 cards, one is its usual color, while the other is color-shifted. Most of them are planeswalkers, but Liliana is a creature. The cards come in pairs, so if you open a black Garruk, you also open a green Garruk.
The set is happening on Haxhaven, a mirrored version of Strixhaven. It includes the following schools, which also mirror Strixhaven schools:
The set is also full of callbacks, such as white's take on Dark Confidant.
Mystery Booster Commander Edition is also coming later this year, as is Pro Tour Hall of Fame.
Hey folks, I'm sharing my draft guide for the newest set. Inside, you'll find:
Hopefully, this will give you an advantage at least in the early weeks of the format. If you want more detailed explanations about some of my takes, let me know. I'm always happy to discuss Limited.
Good luck in your events! :)
