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 →
0-3. 0-3. 3-4. These are my past records from 1 FNM and 2 attempts at PPTQ respectively. Mind Rot's flavor text is what I feel right now. As a brewer, you always have high hopes to your newly constructed deck. And after plenty of shadow testing and imagining how your would-be opponent's deck would perform... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone, Let's continue with rounds 5 through 8 with my brew below. Round 5 - vs. BW Knights (1-1-1) Game 1, I almost lost this game when the opponent had main board Ixalan's Binding and placed it on top of my Mirari Conjecture but thankfully I drew my single copy of Blink of an...

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 →
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. Lyra has been the go-to finisher for UW control... Continue Reading →
Before you get excited and buy out all the foil Colony Rats - here's my official disclaimer to the deck: Lost Legacy isn't played much right now so I think this is a plausible idea Ixalan's Binding is not played in high numbers so I think this is a plausible idea Don't run this deck...

I should have called it aWRas but that's been take by aURas already 🙂 Hello everyone, welcome back to the Lab. As you all know, Saffron Olive already published a cool budget deck tech that featured Valduk, Keeper of the Flame and a bunch of Red and Blue auras and protection counter magic and win...
