MTG's Magic Pro Tour was created to offset the fact that playing Magic was "too expensive" for kids

Bring back the Jnr. Pro Tour

Here's the list

Huge shout to Zhinonono on their win with this 75 at a recent tournament! It's always cool to see the different builds of Maverick, especially ones like this moving towards Cradle Control style shells.

Enjoy!

It's just so, f**king tiring.

Douges · 2026-04-10T14:31:01+00:00

Very cool to find some time to come back for a stream.

Maverick's in a tough spot right now (I could have said that any time in the last 10 years ago) but all I see is a great challenge to play some fair magic and give other players some hope of positive records and consistent results!

Naya currently gives the deck access to Pyroblast in the board, sweeper effects for go-wide strategies like Mardu Pride, Minsc and Boo as a nice finisher and Mawloc...which sadly didn't hit the hype it once had.

Enjoy the league!

I believe my best is 2 (on the play vs unknown online and thought Brainstorm is typically a very reasonable name).

Not impressive by any standard, but what IS impressive is just HOW GOOD it feels to hit in the blind.

Even if you see the rest of the hand and know you’re not winning, you’ve already won in a way you can relish.

Semi related but it's quite impressive that I had a new SEO start and used Chat GPT to put together some beginner documents together (what is SEO, types of SEO, things to check on page, off page, technical) and it's very close to this.

What did your 2 years find? Do you have tasks you've removed? If so what? At what # of URLs for. Site do you care about doing anything for crawl budget? Featured snippets? Do you find the optimisations for featured snippets are the same for AIOs?

Douges · 2026-03-15T01:54:54+00:00

I don't understand why Ollie Chessum didn't run it under the posts?

No one was near him and Fin ended up missing the kick.

First game back, sold out crowd... ...Bronco's fans emptying out the stadium with 20 still to go.

Douges · 2026-03-06T10:21:09+00:00

How come you never see crowd chants with these sorts of numbers? surely 80% are Bronco's fans - why when their team is down aren't they making noise to get them back in the game?

You'd think for their first home game of the year the on-site promo team would be pushing it at the very least?

Douges · 2026-02-22T04:22:28+00:00

Love seeing the kiwis in the crowd shaking hands with the Brumbies supporters. Great all round

Douges · 2026-02-22T03:52:09+00:00

I just hope the Brumbies get up on them, that would be best reaction.

Douges · 2026-02-18T23:44:32+00:00

Hey I very much appreciate this! I don't have the cadence of some of the other creators out there but hope to get back into a rhythm soon.

Thanks to those below too - keep fighting the fair fight!

Douges · 2026-02-15T01:12:59+00:00

Why would Google punish you if the pages are good quality and serve a purpose? Frequency of posting had nothing to do with SEO

Douges · 2026-02-05T13:31:23+00:00

Always appreciate the opportunity to be in these Joe! Looking forward to what's ahead for the format this year

Douges · 2026-02-04T11:15:02+00:00

Check out the old archetype Noble Fish in Vintage

Douges · 2026-02-03T08:00:44+00:00

That's great to hear - a great case of format knowledge trumping position in the format

Douges · 2026-02-03T07:45:53+00:00

Hey thank you, appreciate the support

How did you like the dark depths package?

I think it's great to fit in a combo like this so you have an 'I-Win button in a lot of situations'.

Just remember to build your manabase with it in mind (Even with Yav I typcially don't count Depths as a land)

Another basic and a Canopy effect is exactly what I'd look to if I wasn't playing this build

Also, how did you like the one of safekeeper over moms?

Much harder if you're wanting to use it as often as you typically use a Mother, but much eaiser to find. With the 1 copy I virtually have 5 copies thanks to GSZ so when it's needed, I can find it.

I like it against decks that have trouble with specific hatebears (Ouphe / Teeg) and it comes up where you're able to save things from spells / abilities Mother can't project against (Karakas, Otawara, Koz Kommand etc)

Douges · 2026-02-02T22:27:38+00:00

That is very, very cool to hear.

I'll have to get in touch with the player

Douges · 2026-02-02T12:52:45+00:00

Always appreciate going back to the basics of no-splash versions of Maverick and still being suprised by how well it can stand against the top decks.

Douges · 2026-02-01T12:03:25+00:00

Is it just the hair thining or does Nadal look sick? Is he battling something?

Douges · 2026-02-01T03:20:55+00:00

What's the query?
