Here’s some resources that I use often:

• mtggoldfish has meta decks and user submitted decks for almost all popular formats out there. They include a meta % to show how much a deck is played.
• for more competitive meta results I use mtgdecks.net, where you can filter on recent tournaments or MTGO leagues within the format you’re interested in.
• lastly there’s aetherhub, which I use less these days but is also a good source for meta deck finding.
• if you’re looking for meta discussions and deck techs, you can still find them on reddit, e.g. the /r/spikes subreddit or the subreddit for the format of your choice, for Pioneer there’s /r/PioneerMTG

This was a really well-explained hack, I loved reading this, well done! So fascinating to see that bot logic runs client-side, that the code just creates two ‘seats’ for players to connect to, and you exploited all that info in a masterful way. Bravo!

I like this one much better than the original colour pie that was posted here, this one’s much easier to read and more intuitive <3

I find it counter intuitive that the two colour pairings are on the inside and the three colour pairings are on the outside.

the big negative point is, of course, that this is a sneaky increase in booster cost, a quite significant one at that.

wow, in practice the changes to Limited might not be very big with this new type of booster, but in the history of MtG this is a humongous change. For the first time since 1993 Draft boosters will have 14 playable cards instead of 15. This changes the fabric of MtG. I feel that in the long run this is a very good shift, all of the problems highlighted in the article are very real, and it seems like they’ve addressed them well with the Play Booster. Fascinating stuff, I can’t wait to hear the Limited podcasts analysing how this changes the game.

The prettiest counterspell and dark ritual art styles AND stonks? What a day!

I’m really happy with the interface to be honest, I was using Voyager up until now but Boost is my new go to!

Until they do something to make standard more affordable I don’t think they’ll succeed in this revitalisation. Either you print new standard challenger decks every year that actually contain all the game pieces needed for a Tier standard deck, or people will continue to play non rotating formats where the decks are as expensive as standard but will last them a lot more years than standard decks

I would love for this to become a new finisher ik standard, I think it’s possible after rotation
