Hello everyone, After getting my inner frustrations out and allowing my head to reboot, I'm back with another spicy brew that has all sorts of potent answers and win conditions. Again, the dream here is to break the routine and escape the trap of joining the Chainwhirler Gang, Teferi Inc, The Stompy Crew or the... Continue Reading →
Muldrotha’s Mending
Hello Alchemists, It's been 10 grueling days of delicately balancing work hours, wedding preparations, business trips and preparing for Grand Prix Singapore that I haven't had the chance to brew much. I have been busy testing my UB Conjecture list as well because I plan to pilot that in GP SG but the meta after... Continue Reading →
UB Mirari Conjecture

Shalai, Voice of Saprolings
Hello everyone, I love you guys so much that I want to squeeze in 1 more article before I prepare for my Thailand trip. Let's talk about Saprolings for a minute, shall we? A lot of people have tried building Saprolings all over the internet and I find it refreshing to see some players who... Continue Reading →
Boros Legends
Hello Alchemists, For the next couple of days I'll be out facilitating a workshop in Bangkok (non-Magic related unfortunately) and I want to leave you guys with a brew that looks to be strong contender looking at the decks I see topping PPTQs and local FNMS.

An Encounter with Mono Green Shalai
Hi Everyone, Yesterday was a great day for Magic because I went up against 4 different decks in 4 rounds of standard, bagging 1st place. I battled Esper Historic, UG Merfolk, Mono Green Shalai, and a Mono Green Karn. Before I write about the Mono Green Shalai list which I was quite interested with, piloted... Continue Reading →
Rakdos Midrange
Hello everyone, I received 2 messages over social media that my Rakdos Control deck helped them get 3-1 and 4-0 runs in Standard Showdown and MTGO respectively. I tweaked the deck and turned it to a midrange deck in anticipation of very grindy match-ups and I wanted to have more win conditions that just Belzenlok... Continue Reading →
Historic Tokens
I can end the article right here to be honest but why stop the fun, right? The combo is honestly self-explanatory and literally unlimited. Tragic Poet goes to the yard to recall History after it expires. You replay History and trigger Teshar's reanimating ability. You fetch back Poet. Rinse & Repeat. The end result is...
