Going Aggro in Reality Fracture Draft
I'd like to discuss when and why we should get into aggressive decks in the current Reality Fracture environment. Aggressive white decks are a great place to be in my opinion if a majority of players try to play slower magic.

Reality Fracture Sealed Tips
While the Hobbit Sealed format was not very popular, I actually found it a bit refreshing. There was only a handful of truly broken rares. Reality Fracture is almost the polar opposite of Hobbit.

I've come around on this draft format, and it's all thanks to one little uncommon: Fblthp, Impossibly Lost.

The Hobbit Sealed - Unbalanced & Fun
I played 25 Arena Directs, earning five Collector Booster Boxes with a win rate a smidge over 70%. It's well known that black is the best color, at least in Sealed, and it's the best by an amount I haven't seen before.

First Impressions of Marvel Limited
My first impression is that we're not in Strixhaven anymore. One thing I felt during early access is that removal was incredibly scarce. The creatures in the format are incredibly powerful.

Drafting Soup in Strixhaven
Secrets of Strixhaven Limited is one of my favorite formats of all time. I like to approach the format by drafting the best card from the first few packs and see what opens up.

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.
TMNT draft is about as good as it could be for what it is: a small set that will limit options while drafting. There are only five supported archetypes, making it harder to continue having new experiences.

For the first time in a while, there is no discussion of banning cards in Standard. I think Standard is in one of the best places it's been.

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.

Five Predictions for Worlds (Limited)
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.

What is and isn't working for me in Avatar Draft.
Avatar Limited has been quite the joy to play, but oh boy has it felt tough to get an edge in. I've learned a lot over the last week in how to approach the format.

Arena Power Cube is Here
It's no secret that my favorite way to play Magic has always been Limited. Cube, specifically powered Cube, mixes the best of both worlds—Limited Magic, but Constructed power level.

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.
