Despite the Saturday Modern Challenge literally not existing this week, there was a lot of Magic to talk about - including the Magic Online Championship Series, the highlight of the Magic Online calendar. With winner Will Krueger and Stefan Schutz lighting up the tournament with a brilliant gamble, we take a look at how to prepare for tournaments ranging from the small and exclusive to large and open (...as long as they exist).Timestamps:23:40 MOCS leveling + general metagaming/preparation1:26:25 NonsensePatreon / Twitter / DiscordResults:Challenges - Sunday (we don't talk about Saturday)MOCS Material:Information Cascades by Patrick ChapinNonsense:Matsugan Variety Hour Reboot 

After alluding to it in passing multiple times, Andy and Anthony are finally going deep on Andy's contentious assertion that there are no intrinsically favored matchups between aggro, midrange, and control as the common heuristic suggests. In this episode, they define the macro-archetypes, talk about where they come from, and cover appropriate and innappropriate applications of these kinds of thought technologies. Then, they discuss how each matchup is won and lost for all the permutations of aggro, midrange, and control. Our listener submitted pack 1, pick 1 this week comes from Arcade's Commander Cube, the “Brawlbox”. Timestamps: 6:29 — Introduction to Topic and Pack 1, Pick 1 from Arcade's Hand Matters Cube 16:51 — What are the macro-archetypes and where do they come from? 25:32 — Andy's argument that there is no inherent advantage between the marco-archetypes in Magic 31:07 — A Simple Origin for the Typical Rock, Paper, Scissors Heuristic 41:11 — A Comprehensive Rundown of How Each Matchup Is Won and Lost Between Aggro, Midrange, and Control Discussed in this episode: Daniel's Gold Cube Being John Malkovich Harold McGee Magic sour sweet berries Patrick Chapin's Next Level Magic and Next Level Deckbuilding Zac Hill's “Ah Yes, Very Standard” Jennifer Long's “The Metagamr Clock” Brian Davis vs Bob Maher in the 1999 Pro Tour Finals Degenerate Micro Cube Merlin Mann Follow us on Twitter @luckypapermtg and check us out on Twitch and YouTube for paper Cube gameplay.

Andy and Anthony talk about the language we use to talk about Magic. Language is fundamental to social experiences, our favorite game included. Creating new language helps us communicate more effectively and helps us think about and compartmentalize concepts, shaping how we thing about things. But jargon has its drawbacks.

With Time Spiral Remastered currently in our minds, we're taking a look one of the possibly the most famous deck from Time Spiral Standard - Dragonstorm!  Initially a blue/red actual storm deck, it evolved into the burn/storm hybrid that led Patrick Chapin and Gabriel Nassif to their famous Game Four at Worlds 2007.  This is certainly a unique deck, and one we're very excited to talk about.

Cette semaine, on se prépare pour Kaldheim, on voit quelques nouvelles de la part de Wizards et de Patrick Chapin puis on découvre le nouveau podcast de Bandit: BlaBla Bandit. https://blablabandit.podbean.com/   @mtgCoffeeTokens   le Discord de Café Magic   https://discord.gg/HTV3VB7fgv    

It's time for another episode of On The Shoulders of Giants! This week we're actually looking at Patrick Chapin's set review for New Phyrexia; but, there's more to it than that. As Blake Rasmussen pointed out on the WotC website this week, Patrick Chapin has claimed all creatures are either Baneslayers or Mulldrifters and this is the article in which he discussed the theory and related strategy of viewing creatures in this way.

Listen here: http://bit.ly/mtgprotutor-ep298 01: Patrick Chapin Shares Tips for Improving Yourself and says Don't Try to Convince others You're the Best   First Set  The Dark Favorite Set  Innistrad (Best designed) /  Khans of Tarkir block Favorite Card Jace, the Mind Sculptor What makes Magic fun for you? First and foremost the people. The constant iteration. Early Challenge Trying to convince people that he was actually good. Level Up Moment Realizing that trying to convince people that he was actually good was not as useful as focusing on humbly improving himself. Proudest Magic Moment Inducted into the Hall of Fame. Winning Pro Tour Journey Into Nyx. Best Format Standard Current Standard Deck Biggest Mistake Players Make Focusing their energy on convincing people they are good instead of focusing on finding the truth about how they play. Look for mistakes in every match. Free Resources! www.nextlevelmagic.com www.starcitygames.com www.toplevelpodcast.com   02: Patrick Chapin Shares Card Evaluation   Evaluation Tips Look at every card and ask: "Why was this card printed? Who is it for? HOW can I use this card?" Limited Tips Sealed is often slower but more powerful (compared to draft) because you have six booster packs instead of three. This leads to bomb centric decks. Focus on the key cards you passed, not every card in the pack. Team Building Use message groups and in-person meetings to collaborate with your team. You will only improve to the level of the best player in your group. Bring your group up and/or find more talent if you're the best in your group. Play Testing Constant communication with the teammate as well as taking the two weeks before a Pro Tour off to playtest with the team has been a working formula for Patrick. Improvement Identify what you want to improve first: your collection, win ratio, deck building skills, etc... and focus just on that Magic Resource   Next Level Magic Next Level Deck Building   Interview Links www.starcitygames.com www.toplevelmagic.com     105: Patrick Chapin Returns! Your Questions Answered - 1 Year of MTG Pro Tutor   Sideboarding Sideboards are there to tweak and tune your strategy. Know what your strategy is. Look at similar strategies and make your sideboard similar. Right now, sweepers are very popular - Languish and Planar Outburst. Building Local Interest If you have casual players that you would like to take to the next level, organize regular draft nights. Break off into teams after the draft portion so people can help each other build decks. If you have new players who don't know the rules, introduce them to a Duels of the Planeswalkers and see if they stick around and want more after a few weeks. Missing Triggers Create a shortcut system for your brain. Also, when playtesting, NO TAKE BACKS!! Practice how you want to play at events. Track your mistakes and do a push up for each one you do. Going to Grand Prix and Other Big Events Grand Prixs are like gaming conventions. JUST GO and enjoy it! You will never feel ready if you don't go. If you are nervous about the main event then just show up and walk around, play in some side events, visit artists and vendors and soak it all in. When you participate in the main event, play all the rounds. You paid to play Magic and get experience. Utilize all the time you have. Play all the rounds even if you're knocked out early. Playing against different decks and opponents you don't know is invaluable. Home Brew vs. Net Deck By playing your own brew all the time you are missing out on learning what's working now and why it's working. By net decking all the time you will always be a week or so behind. Mix it up. Net deck 25% of the time and build your own deck 25% of the time. The other 50% is up to you to go where the wind blows. See what's working at large but try out your own ideas too. Read: Information Cascades in Magic on StarCityGames Make Sure It's Fun Don't force yourself to play Magic (or play more Magic) just because you feel like that's what you SHOULD be doing, Make sure it stays fun. Pay Attention to Opponent Every time your opponent makes a play, especially if it's not obvious why ask yourself "Why did they do that?" Have a notebook and write down, after the match, what your opponent did so you can talk about it with others later. BONUS: Write down all the mistakes you made (win or lose) and what you learned and SHARE THAT LIST! Don't let your brain hide your errors from you. Get used to facing them and talking about them. The MTG Pro Tutor Facebook group is the perfect place to post your list because of the healthy, uplifting community there who is ready to help. Mulligan Decisions Nowadays you can keep slightly lighter mana hands because you can scry. Consider what your opponent is playing and have a plan based on the cards in your hand. If there is no viable plan, then mulligan. If you don't know what your opponent is playing, assume they are on an aggressive strategy. How does your hand line up in that match? Coping with Counterspells If you tilt when playing a control mage then watch someone play a control deck and ask questions. Learn when they are vulnerable so you know when to strike. Dealing With Ulamog Hand disruption is the best way to deal with Ulamog. Infinite Obliteration is the prime answer. Biggest Mistake Players lie to themselves. You can only control what you can control. People shift the blame to things they can't control and then use that to hide from the real problem. Which is that they are making mistakes and need to address it. Improvement Suggestions Focus on what really matters right now.

The content creation has been a large hook for Alex. He also loves the brewing side of magic as well. The creation is key. Early Challenge Attack step. Alex is a more passive player and plays a deck that doesn't attack a lot. Level Up Moment Reading a draft and pick article in Zendikar block led to his first win. Worst Magic Moment Alex assumed he lost a game that he actually won. He didn't count the damage and scooped. His opponent lets him lose. Proudest Magic Moment The first decent finish at an event. The positive response to Top Decking. Best Format Modern Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself Alex is more competitive than he realized. He's also greatly improved his ability to learn.

Conversation with Yourself 10 Years Ago Don't get out of the game. Go straight to university. Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself He was a poor looser.

I’m talking to Nathan Holt, co-creator of Walking the Planes and the new Magic documentary Enter the Battlefield: Life on the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour. Nathan studied theater with a concentration in acting and went on to do plays, movies and even some stand up comedy. Early on Nathan and Shawn Kornhauser filmed a few videos that went viral in the community and quickly got picked up by Wizards of the Coast to create the series Walking the Planes. After following the Pro Tour for years, Nathan and Shaun produced, Enter the Battlefield: Life on the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour. This feature length documentary explores into the lives of Reid Duke, Owen Turtenwald, William Huey Jenson, Chris Pikula, Patrick Chapin, Melissa DeTora, and Shehar Shenhar. Nathan shares with us how he got started with acting, what he thinks are the fundamentals of comedy and how he likes to play Magic.

If there is no viable plan, then mulligan. If you don't know what your opponent is playing, assume they are on an aggressive strategy. How does your hand line up in that match? Coping with Counterspells If you tilt when playing a control mage then watch someone play a control deck and ask questions. Learn when they are vulnerable so you know when to strike. Dealing With Ulamog Hand disruption is the best way to deal with Ulamog. Infinite Obliteration is the prime answer. Biggest Mistake Players lie to themselves. You can only control what you can control. People shift the blame to things they can't control and then use that to hide from the real problem. Which is that they are making mistakes and need to address it. Improvement Suggestions Focus on what really matters right now.

Patrick Chapin, "The Innovator," is a Hall of Famer, Pro Tour Champion, and 5-time PT Top 8 competitor. Author of Next Level Magic and Next Level Deckbuilding, his articles can be found on StarCityGames.com and podcast at TopLevelPodcast.com. Evaluation Tips Look at every card and ask: "Why was this card printed? Who is it for? HOW can I use this card?" Limited Tips Sealed is often slower but more powerful (compared to draft) because you have six booster packs instead of three. This leads to bomb centric decks. Focus on the key cards you passed, not every card in the pack. Team Building Use message groups and in person meetings to collaborate with your team. You will only improve to the level of the best player in your group. Bring your group up and/or find more talent if you're the best in your group. Play Testing Constant communication with teammate as well as taking the two weeks before a Pro Tour off to play test with the team has been a working formula for Patrick. Improvement Identify what you want to improve first: your collection, win ratio, deck building skills, etc... and focus just on that Magic Resource Next Level Magic Next Level Deck Building Connect with Patrick Twitter: @thepchapin Interview Links www.starcitygames.com www.toplevelmagic.com
