What's up guys! First of all, I didn't quit playing Magic (no one really quits Magic for real) and I think Throne of Eldraine is a super sweet set that's oozing with flavor, lore and childhood memories. I also think this is the most excited I've been for a new Magic set that's not Ravnica,... Continue Reading →
White Metal
Hello everyone, Wow. Wow. Woooow. What happened to me?! I guess a lot because it has taken me away from my writing and deckbuilding. I'm still trying to get up to speed with the new standard, or what's left of it until October. I tried playing in a tournament last weekend and really like how... Continue Reading →

Hello everyone, The Mythic Championship is among us and I'm sure you're rooting for some of the players and like to see your favorite decks perform well. I for one would like to see more interesting technology despite not having the new set out in time for the MC. What's good about brewing is that... Continue Reading →
Vivid Totem (aka Vivid Lantern)
Hello everyone! I promised I'll revisit this pet deck of mine and here I am with some match report, climbing from Gold 4-0/6 to Gold 2-2/6. The journey wasn't easy and the deck had several minor revisions between Tier 3 and Tier 2 as the meta became a bit more aggressive. First swap I did... Continue Reading →

Hello everyone! I got some "good" news to share. I will soon move to a new company and I am hopeful that I will get back a bit more time to do the things I miss doing, one of those being Magic. I also picked up a new hobby called reading (I never really liked... Continue Reading →

Black Boros
Hi guys and gals, welcome back to the Lab! I seriously need help. I can't seem to let go of my fixation of building the funniest but competitive deck with Hero of Precinct One. I wrote about him (I think it's a her) in my Dirty Bant deck and Nick Price is also toying around... Continue Reading →
Dirty Bant
Hi everyone, With the first Mythic Championship over, and kudos to Autumn Burchett for a masterful piloting of Mono Blue Tempo, it's time to go back to brewing. Personally, I like how diverse the meta is and I'm especially happy to see unconventional takes on certain archetypes that did fairly well in the tournament. Raphael... Continue Reading →
