In the closing of 2023 I’m going to share my top five archetypes that I played this year. This year my son was born so I decided to focus on a couple easy to pilot decks in each format rather than the flavor of the week. Thankfully I had plenty of great results despite this change in approach.

We are approaching the second James Beeton Memorial Weekend at RIW Hobbies on Friday, January 5 and Saturday, January 6. A member of the historic, elite Team RIW, James trained alongside and inspired some of the greatest players in Magic history. Between cross-state trips to premier events, the competitive grind of old-school organized play, and his beloved local shenanigans, he was a core member of the crew, and his absence can never be filled.

Lost Caverns of Ixalan was a great set and I’m excited to finally get the new cards into my Battle Box Commander Cube to play with for dueling and drafting. One of the things I love so much about my stack is that it provides a TON of versatile play opportunities because it’s functional as a 1v1 Battle Box stack, a 1v1 Cube Draft, or a multiplayer EDH Cube.

I’m enjoying my cEDH arc, but Pioneer, Pauper, and Modern received a shakeup in yesterday’s B&R announcement. Constructed formats can become stagnant during the winter months as there are fewer large tournaments due to the holidays.

CEDH has quickly become my preferred Magic: the Gathering format to play because it incorporates so many of the classic Eternal cards I grew up playing with, and against, over the years. I’ve been playing and collecting cards since the game began back in the day and I’ve been looking for a format where I can enjoy playing with my favorite cards and CEDH hits the mark for me much more so than any other constructed format.

After playing Blue Farm at the RIW cEDH 1K I’m looking to stay sharp on a simpler deck depending on my mood. I’m back to Tivit for its simplicity, powerful commander, and redundant win conditions.

Today I’m going to take a break from deck techs and metagame breakdowns and focus on some improvements to Magic I would like to see. We play a great game, but there’s always room to make it even better. These are just my opinions and each topic is multi-faceted.

After writing an article about Blue Farm I piloted it to a top 16 finish at the RIW cEDH 1K last Sunday. There were 47 players which was very exciting for RIW’s first competitive EDH tournament. I was worried the lack of proxies would hurt attendance, but that was quite the impressive showing.

Halloween is fast approaching! Got your costumes? Your candy? What about your board games?
I’m a sucker for a game that exemplifies a theme and what better to celebrate Spooky Season with than the horror board game genre?
