Faithless Brewing, Episode 9: Force of Virtue White has a long history of getting shafted in cycles. Blue got Ancestral Recall, white got Healing Salve. Blue got Force of Will, white got Scars of the Veteran. Blue got Force of Negation, white got... Force of Virtue? Free spells are always worth a closer look, and the crew thinks this zero-mana Crusade might be sneakily competitive. We discuss potential builds of Mardu Tokens, Esper Skies, and Goat Devotion (no, not greatest of all time, just actual goats). Roundup: Brewer's Guide to the Hogaak Meta Hogaak continues to dominate the winners' meta in MTGO Premier events. Successful challengers last weekend skewed toward midrange and control, with creature aggro and big mana seemingly pushed out of the format. In the unified Modern League, though, it's a safari of wild brews. Plus: new cards with potential from Core 2020, and a tournament report from GP Seattle (undefeated on Day 2!). Mardu Helix: 8-2 leagues, Smiting Helix is the truth. Lantern Citadel: 6-4 leagues, effective against Hogaak. Flashback: Ice-Fang Ninja Tempo Ice-Fang Coatl proved to be a brilliant design: versatile and powerful, but requiring serious concessions to unlock deathtouch. The ninjas were all playable and surprisingly good, with Ingenious Infiltrator seemingly the best option, Mist-Syndicate Naga running second, and Fallen Shinobi the most greedy and least versatile. BUG "Little" Ninjas: 6-4 leagues, Infiltrator and Seer are good, slow cards (Spellstutter, Snapcaster, Opt) are iffy. Sideboard needs more sweepers. BUG "Big" Ninjas: 4-1 league, land count is greedy, 4 Shinobi is too many. UG Obsession: 1-4 league, unplayable, removal is too plentiful and cheap to protect a non-hexproof creature. Bant Flash: 3-2 league, solid if no one is playing Tron. Queller Flash: 2-3 league, perfect deck for exhausting midrange slugfests. Brew Session: Force of Virtue Goat Devotion (Sketch) Mardu Tokens (Sketch) Esper Skies (Sketch) Soul Sisters (Sketch)

In this episode, I’m talking to local Seattle Magic player, Daniel Duterte. Daniel defended this house by winning the Legacy portion of GP Seattle 2018. Such is the dream, show up to your hometown GP, and win the whole thing. Daniel defeated some major pros during the 15 rounds of swiss and 3 rounds of single elimination Top 8, including Brian Braun-Duin and Sam Black. Daniel scooped to his friend in round 15, but other than that, he technically went undefeated throughout his entire run during the Legacy GP. That’s quite historic considering shortly after during the Standard GP, Chinese player Gan Yan also went undefeated with a staggering 18-0 to claim the Standard trophy. Wow, the hometown of Magic, Seattle, does not mess around. Back to back undefeated winners in the double GP in Seattle. I’m so happy to share my interview with the Seattle hometown hero, Daniel Duterte.

On today's episode, Matt and I welcome another guest host to the podcast: German Legacy phenomenon Marius Hausmann. Many of you might already know Marius following his recent success on the MKM Series, but this guy is a true oldschooler of Legacy. When I started playing competitive Legacy in Munich around 2005/06, he was already around as one (if not the) end boss of our local scene…and soon all of Germany as well. After eventually dropping his beloved Death & Taxes in favor of a deck he swore to never touch, we invited him to today's cast to discuss his thoughts on the state of Legacy right before the upcoming Grand Prix. * GP Seattle coming up on the weekend * Why Marius dropped Death & Taxes * Grixis Delver, Marius' unlikely new mistress * Czech Pile vs Grixis Delver…3,2,1 FIGHT! * Beat Grixis Delver using this one weird trick * The Dark Horse — Moon Stompy * State of the MKM Series Marius Hausmann's (MariusOfTheMoon on MTGO) Grixis Delver he won the most recent Legacy Challenge with, beating Julian's Elves in the Quarterfinals. We also tracked down the player Marius mentioned who plays a lot of Energy Field-Rest in Peace on Magic Online. Check out his decklists here: adalid240477 We'd love to hear your feedback on today's episode in the comment section or via Twitter. This is only the second episode I have edited myself and I'd be happy to hear any suggestions or advise on how we could improve your enjoyment of Everyday Eternal even further! So long, Julian

In this episode, I’m talking to the master of Legacy Elves, Daniel Nguyen. Daniel is a Seattle Legacy player who dedicated himself to testing and grinding tournaments. Daniel’s experience and long history with the game lead to him creating a primer on Elves, which has been standard reading for Magic players around the world. Daniel talks with me about growing up playing Magic as a kid, and what he’s doing to help preserve Legacy in today’s Magic community. If you’re going to GP Seattle in April, I’m sure Daniel will be there. (And so will I, come by and say hi) Go say hi to him. He’s super friendly and knows a lot about Legacy. I caught up with Daniel the Summer of 2017. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Daniel Nguyen.

MTG Pro Tutor - Insights, Tips & Advice from Magic: The Gathering Pros
Whitney Otteson is an avid Magic: The Gathering player and game store owner from Walla Walla, Washington. She has taken recent interest in the competitive scene by making and achieving a goal to make day 2 of Grand Prix Oakland 2015. This accomplishment has motivated her to set her sights even higher. Click to Tweet: I got a ton of value from Whitney Otteson when he shared his story on #MTGProTutor today! Click here: http://bit.ly/mtgprotutor-ep67 First Set Innistrad Favorite Set Innistrad Favorite Card Avacyn, Angel of Hope What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you? Whitney is competitive when it comes to games and the level of critical thinking required to play Magic is a major draw for her. When she works hard at Magic she feels like she has accomplished a great goal, and it inspires her to push her skill further. Early Challenge When Whitney first started playing she found herself wrapped up in the board’s current state. Looking ahead to future turns was a skill that took time for her to develop. She talked to players that were better than her about her deck and sideboard, then studied the choices they made when they played. When she realized that they were playing with future turns in mind she made the mental shift to incorporate that practice into her own play style. Level Up Moment Winning two local Radcon tournaments for two consecutive years helped Whitney believe she could progress beyond just playing Friday Night Magic. She went to GP Seattle with the mindset to just have fun with Legacy, but she entered some Standard side events and did really well. These three moments helped her decide to buckle down and reassess how serious she was going to take her progression. Proudest Magic Moment The month of hardcore preparation that went into her making Day 2 at GP Oakland stands out as Whitney's proudest moment. How to Effectively Prepare for a Big Event GP Oakland: Whitney completely immersed herself in magic a whole month before the tournament. She got a Magic Online account and played at least one League every night, basically playing 5 rounds of Magic a day. She watched Magic streams, read articles and deck lists, and talked to players that were better than her to help her analyze what she needed to do. Thoughts On Setting Goals in Magic Whitney wanted to set a goal that was attainable for her; she didn't want to set the bar for her so high that she was constantly disappointed. This led her to setting a goal that was realistic, but would be a real challenge to obtain. How to Choose a Standard Deck For GP Oakland, Whitney played around with several decks and landed on an Abzan deck. She thought about what decks would be at the tournament and then worked, especially on her sideboard, to alter her deck in a way that it could exploit other decks at the tournament. Biggest Mistake Players Make A common mistake Whitney sees players making is the way they view their sideboards. She has a written a sideboard guide to help her make decisions in heated match ups instead of just making choices on the fly. Putting a lot of weight into your sideboard, and viewing your deck as a whole 75 instead of 60 and 15 is something she believes helps strengthen how you play your deck. Sealed & Draft Tips Sealed: Read through primers online and apply that information when you're looking at the set. Learning how to take advice from better players and apply it in the moment can be key. Draft: Being able to recognize when a card is good is something that takes putting in a lot of reps, talking to other players at your store, and trying to learn how to read other's signals. What's in Your Tournament Bag Gum Granola & Crackers Pen & Paper Extra Sleeves What Does a Playtest for You Look Like? Whitney finds that she learns the most from match ups she loses. Taking a loss makes her sit down and talk out what she could have done differently with her opponent. She has friends that will sit next to her in matches and help point out the mistakes she makes mid-game, which helps her think out decisions in the heat of play. Final Wisdom Have fun! Whitney knows it’s easy to get wrapped up in Magic’s serious aspects, but at the end of the day you should leave a tournament feeling like you had a great time and a great experience.
