Tips for an Underrated TMNT Draft
One of the most asked questions in my stream is "How are you liking TMNT Draft?" I always answer roughly the same way: I think it's fun but ultimately not a format where I'd want to play 100 drafts.

Drafting Against the Grain
Lorwyn Eclipsed Limited has been a tough nut to crack for many. Even the best players have taken some hits to their win rates in this format. With that said, my win rate is still hovering around 65% playing in Mythic.

Exploring Lorwyn Draft
Lorwyn Eclipsed has been out for some time now, and as far as Limited is concerned, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. I've developed a liking for it as I've played and learned.

Qualifying for the Arena Championship
I made time this past weekend to play in an Arena Championship Qualifier. I managed to wiggle my way into day two with a 7-2 record, and on day two, I went undefeated to lock up an invite to the Arena Champs.

This article is a little late to the punch, as I'm writing on the eve of the most prestigious Magic tournament of the year. We can at least look back on my predictions to see how close I got.

Spider-Man Draft One Week Later
While I was privy to the early access event, this week we all got access to play Spiderman Limited. Err, I mean, Omenpath. Whatever they want to call it, the set's reviews have been, to put it politely, mixed.

Edge of Eternities Alchemy Draft
Alchemy is a remix of an existing format and has made it more fun every time. Adding a midseason twist to a format that I have drafted 100 or more times can only be an upside.

What I'm Doing Differently in EoE Draft
I've played Edge of Eternities Limited so much that, at the time of this writing, I'm ranked first on the Mythic Ladder. That's right, this fella got his groove back.

Izzet Prowess Is the Best Deck in Standard
It's no secret at this point that Izzet Prowess is likely the best deck in Standard. The printing of Cori-Steel Cutter spawned this outrageously strong deck.
