Going slower on video creation at the moment due to an overload on my brain from some IRL things - such as work giving me (more) increased responsibilities & doing OT work hours. Definitely taking my off hours for mostly napping to keep up 😅

Honestly, I'm floored by this. My PT MSH Recap video has the highest views of any of my previous Events recap videos by a long shot. In 3 days, it's average-per-day views is higher than the total views my other recaps get. Thank you all so much for the support, I'm speechless

I got multiple asks to separate the Fight Rigging version of Eldrazi Ramp from the "stock" version. With smaller sample sizes, this moved the needle on WIN% a tiny bit. Updated Overall WIN% with this distinction is here

Best part about EU hours Events with Top 8 Draft is I can already analyze all the Constructed portion my Saturday afternoon! So here's all the Decks WIN% + Popularity Tiers + H2H Top 11 Decks from #PTMSH (normal video analysis to follow later) @fireshoes.bsky.social @saffronolive.bsky.social #MTG

My latest video uses 21,406 recorded match results to analyze the Modern MTGO Winners Metagame, with Challenge, Showcase & Super Qualifier events going back to the day of bans 05/18 until this Monday 7/13 I'm giving you the analysis & the data set to do your own Modern analysis!

New video tomorrow Was hoping tonight, but did something a little different and will be posting a little differently. If you're going to watch/play PT MSH - it'll be of interest to you! So stay tuned to my socials tomorrow afternoon PT

I took Azorius Momo to the skies of Pioneer in a Challenge! The deck works similar to it's Standard counterpart - but we get to use Mox Amber to the max with Momo! Did someone say Turn 2 Quantum Ridler?? Find out how it worked in the video below (link to deck list also) 👇 #MagicTheGathering #MTG

My opponent was playing Pioneer But I was playing Modern This was the most busted thing the deck did all day Otherwise it had a lot of mulligans that ended up poorly Went 3-3 overall, deck feels like the Standard version but can win much faster thanks to Mox Amber

YouTube streams are weird man, they have a unique video link Everytime you go live? So if I go live like, 2 minutes ahead of my scheduled stream, it cancels my stream entirely? I tried going live today but it...just didn't work. Thankfully I was also Live on Twitch 😅

Ross has put a TON of time into playing Modern Broodscale Combo over the last few months, not to mention several MTGO Modern Challenge Top 4 finishes recently. If you wanna git gud with Broodscale Combo, Ross is your guy and the guides are live! 👇 RT's welcome! #MTGModern

I really do get that these price hikes are hard to avoid with the RAM crisis being what it is, but if you're going to keep raising your hardware prices, you need to find SOME way to raise the value proposition too. And I don't think "closing a bunch of studios that makes the games for it" will work!
