Hello Brewers, First, let me congratulate all the Filipino Planeswalkers who got the invite to the Protour and those who got into the top 8! It's always nice to see our fellow Filipinos getting some well-deserved spotlight where their skills and deckbuilding skills are showcased and celebrated. I'm sure they gave all their opponents a...

12 hours before the event, I was still playing Sealed in Arena just to get a bit more practice and get familiarized with the set's cards, and learn how to accept that this will be a set that's greatly influenced by the bombs you pull. Later that day I learned Sealed is a test if... Continue Reading →
Hey Brewers, I'm sure everyone's excited to see how the Brother's War will shape the meta for Standard, and even Pioneer. But before we dive into BRO brews, here's one last take on the current standard set - BW Legends. When I saw Ratadrabik spoiled, my first thought was a kindergarten kid named this card...

Although some may argue that the cards that make the format expensive are playable in other non-rotating formats like Pioneer and Modern, the... Continue Reading →
Meeeeeooowww... It took me 1 week to study how I could possibly take advantage of a semi-defined meta filled with Mono-Red, Rakdos Midrange, Greasefangs, and Mono-Green, and bring a deck that's not over complicated and people won't be prepared for. The common denominator across most decks in Pioneer is winning with damage. Apart from the... Continue Reading →
Hello Brewers, With Brothers' War coming soon, the Standard format will be in full swing again! As you read this, you might also be anticipating the banned & restricted announcement that is rumored to hit some staples in Modern and Pioneer. So let's stick to Standard for now, and see if we can break some... Continue Reading →
Hi Brewers! Magic is basically a rock-paper-scissor game made complicated by the different layers in which this game is played. My personal principle in building unconventional brews is that all decks, both meta and non-meta alike, need to win the "war of attrition". Wikipedia defines a 'war of attrition as "a dynamic timing game in... Continue Reading →
