Used to play CollectiveCG obsessively, now I play Penny Dreadful on MTGO obsessively. he/him

Penny Dreadful season 43 has begun! The meta is fresh, lots of interesting synergies and combos are there to be explored and some insane cards are available. Haven't prepared a powerpoint yet, gonna stream today's tournament though, probably playing something wacky.

Penny Dreadful's big end of the season tournament will start in about 30 minutes. I'm likely going to stream the whole thing, including banter before the first match and top 8 commentary. Tune in on my twitch or youtube streams.

MagicCon Amsterdam was one of my most amazing weekends I have ever. I met so many new people, got to make photos with my favorite content makers and even got 3 of my tron lands signed by @magic.cardmarket.com Thoralf (as well as a basic mountain signed by Carl). And I played a lot of MTG formats.

On my way to MagicCon Amsterdam. I am bringing decks for almost all the formats as well as full battleboxes for Value Vintage and Planar Standard. If you want to try out one of these formats at the con, notify me (or try to find me in person).

Been streaming a lot of Penny Dreadful recently, mostly tournaments. Traction has been somewhat low but it is to be expected for such a niche format on a niche platform like MTGO. VODs will hopefully be uploaded in a more timely manner for future streams. Format still rocks though.

This whole decklist-publishing fiasco made clear to me just how important data openness is for the success of a format. A very good example of this is the unofficial Penny Dreadful format on MTGO, which actually has its 10-year anniversary this year! (1/12) @fireshoes.bsky.social

Currently working on a video about the upcoming Penny Dreadful MTG season 39. It'll be a nice little PowerPoint presentation with all the interesting stuff about S39, mainly focusing of course on the card pool. I will probably upload it on Friday, maybe Saturday, when rotation is complete.

Played through all of "The Operator" yesterday. While the experience is somewhat short, the game is super exciting and was quite an experience to play. Can recommend!
