With Neon Dynasty Quick Draft no longer available on Magic Arena, I'm more or less done with Neon Dynasty limited and will be shifting to constructed and prepping for the next set. Since I have the benefit of streaming and recording most of my matches (click the MTGNEO tag link at the bottom of this post for the list), I thought I'd collate my stats for this limited season. Here are the stats, with notes afterwards: Events Win Loss Total Winrate Total 26 90 70 160 0.5625 With splash 6 16 18 34 0.4706 By Main Colors UW 2 8

Grand Prix / MagicFest Seattle Photo Dump: I wasn't actually planning to play much competitive Magic this year, at least not on paper, but when the family planned a US trip in June, I figured I'd take a short side trip to attend and experience a US GP. I had the choices of Washington DC on the 14th-16th (Limited), Seattle on 20th-23rd (Limited), or Dallas on 28th-30th (Modern). After some wrangling with the family's schedule, Seattle was the one most convenient to go to, and Limited meant I didn't have to try and put together a decent deck. (IDK how

I had booked the Singapore trip earlier in the year, since I almost always attend Grand Prixs in Singapore as its an easy trip and gives a good opportunity to visit friends. Unfortunately, I ended up not having time to prepare for the tournament itself. Fortunately, it was a limited event rather than constructed, so I figured maybe I could wing it and still do well. (Spoiler: I could not.) Prior to the trip, my prep for the sealed format had consisted of a single pool at my prerelease and reading a few articles online the night before the trip.

I haven't written a tournament report in a while (maybe because I've been playing rather poorly lately? =/), but Prereleases are always fun right? Here's my Scars of Mirrodin prerelease report! The first hour was spent waiting in an unbearably hot basement area for the 8th player on our table to register his sealed pool. What? yeah, he was late, and the event started early so the airconditioning was not yet on. Sad face. The pool I registered was terrible, no money rares and felt a bit short on playables, but the pool I got passed was better (not really

Here's the situation: It's game 3 of a sealed game. You know your opponent has Mind Control, Aether Adept and Plummet still in his deck, so you should finish it quickly to avoid losing to topdecks. The field is as shown (click for larger view): If you Stampede and swing with everyone, you win! Unless he has Condemn, in which case you will lose. You never saw Condemn in previous games. If you swing with everyone except Platinum Angel he will fall to one life and you have to find a way to push through the extra damage later. What's

Pack 1 2 3 Pick 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Powered by MtgStorm Draft Converter Here's the final deck: I easily won rounds one and two of the draft, but lost the finals to an RG deck that had great draws while I didn't have any Kiln Fiend blowouts. Edit 2021: Looks like the original draft data didn't get preserved here over the server migrations through the years. Might be lost forever.

Just a quick dump of my impressions of RoE limited from the prerelease. I'll probably post a more detailed analysis later. The RoE limited format is fun and it is slower than Zendikar, but you still need to keep an eye on your curve (even though that curve may now end with 7-8-9-and up instead of 5-6... ). Lots of ground stalls, so guys with evasion are much more valuable. I think a good limited deck would revolve around a number of good leveler creatures, as these guys are basically must-kill before they get to the long game. Excellently designed
