Before jumping into today’s topic, I wanted to take a moment to share a bit about myself to help provide some context. I have been playing Magic: The Gathering at a somewhat competitive level since the early 2010’s, with some breaks between then and now. I was primarily a Legacy player, but have also been playing Pauper since what seems like the early days of the format. The earliest event that I participated in on MTGO was in October 2012, at least that is what I could find in my MTGO game record….

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.

Hey everyone!

I’ve been dipping my toes into all sorts of formats lately as RIW Hobbies began their 1K series. There are opportunities to win boatloads of store credit and I want to have as many shots as possible. Last month I split the finals of the Pauper 1K and now I’m trying my hand at cEDH with the RIW 25th Anniversary 1K on October 29.
