Team Handshake 🤝 Moxfield. Winning at MtG, enjoying the journey. Player of the Year 2023!
I QUALIFIED FOR THE ARENA CHAMPIONSHIP!! I've been on a break from Magic for a little while, but @huschenmtg.bsky.social gave me his list and it was so good that it got me the invite even though I had to play with no reps on the deck. Very grateful! moxfield.com/decks/kd6eCM...
Lupi and I have been hard at work tuning Simic Cub. We decided that Wistfulness and Curator were the only tutor targets we have been consistently happy to draw so we just maximized them. Archdruid's Charm performs better than Formidable Speaker moxfield.com/decks/QLVpV9... @handshakemtg.com
This is how I'd build GW Landfall after my weekend of RCQs. Decided to grow up and finally add the 27th land - the deck is built around hitting land drops, better make sure it happens! Deck is so fun, I'm looking forward to playing more standard this weekend in Lyon! 🤩 moxfield.com/decks/VWMD7r...
Landfall is making waves in standard right now, so I wanted to post the list that I got to before the World Championship. Mightform Harmonizer is a great addition for explosive power and Promising Vein lets you curve Earthbenders while still getting to do the thing! moxfield.com/decks/YfPXBu...
Standard Simic Ouroboid deck! I’ve been looking at some non-Vivi options for the Spotlight Series in Liverpool tomorrow. This is my take on Simic, a deck full of creatures that speak right to my soul 🥦🫐 Featuring new addition, Hemasymbic Mite! @handshakemtg.com @moxfield.com t.co/UP4KFVoXg9
LEYLINE RED Now with delirium! In my efforts to tune non-Vivi decks for the Spotlight in Liverpool, I looked at last weekend’s winner This version adds a delirium subtheme to access Violent Urge and FOMO which work so well with pumps! @handshakemtg.com @moxfield.com t.co/ALeTgqJ4i6
Eldrazi Paradox! What if we played Mox Opal and Kozilek's Command in the same deck? Glaring Fleshraker acts as the mana engine for our Paradoxical Outcome combo deck. And Cryogen Relic helps make Outcome a good fair draw spell! moxfield.com/decks/Q1LWmx... @handshakemtg.com @moxfield.com
Aftermath Analyst is back! It's Johnny Thursday, and I bring you a deck that has gone through more refinement than my last ideas - this one can actually win games! Rydia makes the deck go completely bananas. Eden enables an infinite loop. Turn 4 kill. You gotta check this out!!
All-nighter full of drafting and a morning flight is the best way to travel to the US. Hopefully I can get some sleep on my Vegas flight and be ready for the testing house with Team Handshake Moxfield 🫡
FaB Draft Guide for High Seas! This article covers 10 different archetypes in the set, giving some theoretical approaches to drafting and helps you develop depth in your deckbuilding. I worked on it for the last two weeks, and it contains basically everything I know about the format. Enjoy!

Firion Storm! It's time for another Johnny Thursday, and today I present a crazy, dumb and decidedly non-competitive deck. Firions ability is kinda broken with For Mirrodin. But with the right equipment, you can actually storm off and draw your deck! @moxfield.com moxfield.com/decks/yjzv_F...
LSS gave me a sneak peak of the new Gem Packs at World Premiere Taipei, so I made a lil pack opening video for you when I got home! youtu.be/EhIHXSsAnIA?...
I just realized that the Amulets in High Seas are all inspired by the Talents! From the top: - Shadow - Light - Chaos (affecting ALL heroes and allies) - Elemental - Ice - Lightning - Earth - Draconic - Mystic
Trailblazer Combo! Inspired by an @inspiringtimmy.bsky.social Modern brew, this standard deck tries to get Temur Battlecrier and Outcaster Trailblazer in play together. This makes your clone effects cost 1 mana, so you can clone your Trailblazer for free, drawing so many cards! @moxfield.com
On my way home from Taipei now. These trips are giving me life!! Made Day 2 of the Calling, but went 2-4 in draft to finish outside of prizing. Still, always happy to day 2 these competitive draft is just so much fun 🤩
I started playing a bit of Final Fantasy (IX) to see what the hype was about, and I have finally found a card game I can't beat 😡
It took three @scryfall.com team members, with breaks, about SEVEN (7) hours to enter all of the new FIC/FIN/FCA cards into the website. Just for transparency on the effort behind preview season. It was over 350 cards today, alone. This does not include time spent fixing typos or bulk tagging.
I find it ironic that the worst sleeves I've ever tried are the ones we get at the exclusive Pro Tour. This is after 10-15 games playtesting with a proxy deck 🫠🫠
On Sunday I'll play Aurora at a Pro Quest in Copenhagen. To prepare, I went to an Aurora concert today!
In Bologna for the Magic Regionals! Where the pizzas are bigger than the plates 🤤
Maybe Underworld Breach was just too slow all along! This is one of those ideas I had to bring into the world from my notepad. Does it function? Who knows! But now we have enough Moxes that Rona could act as support for the Riddlesmith + Ovalchase Daredevil engine. moxfield.com/decks/N9yxvK...
First time flying with Lufthansa, and first time I see someone board a plane the smart way! Window seats first 😱
Today I finished a 4-year long campaign of Betrayal: Legacy! (Yes it's just 13 chapters, but getting people together is harrrd) I loved the last chapter, lots of cool mechanics. The creativity in this game is quite impressive 😁👻 And now that evil is defeated I can finally sleep well at night.
Traveled to a Pro Quest to send Zen off Went 0-2 I think it will be a great thing for my winrate in this game that he will no longer be legal after this weekend 😂
Night before Pro Tour London. I'm resleeving my Zen deck (turns out my sleeves were not opaque 😖 ) Happy to play my deck for one last go before he leaves the format. Not so happy that I got sick this week 😷
Decided to register for the World Premiere in TaiPei just before going to bed and good thing I did because I got ONE OF THE LAST TWO TICKETS!!! 🤯🤯 Guess I'm going to a new country in May 😍
Playing a Flesh and Blood Pro Quest at riding school in the Netherlands (Battle Hardened tomorrow) Feeling inspired by this mirror, I hope my horse is brave today!
