Whatcha been playin’:

Paul: Battletech vanilla. On Arena: 3-0 Wilds of Eldraine constructed with a mishmosh adventures/conquest deck. Several Woe premium drafts 2-3, 6-3 and 3-3. This draft format is tricky and dangerous. You must never assume you know what your opponent is doing because there are many many ways to lose the game including going from 14 to 0 in a single turn. In other news Invasion of Alara combo is now the top played deck in Ladder. :( 

AJ: 4 game wins and 5 game losses with Adventure Giants in Pioneer, taking advantage of both Eldraines. Cookies in Midweek Magic, a food-based deck led by Syr Ginger, the Meal Ender. Standard Brawl decks around Sarkhan and Syr Ginger.  Outside of Magic, a nostalgic run through of Planescape: Torment.
