Took down the @FaceToFaceGames Trios event last weekend with @Bishark_ and Andrew Kidston. Was the Pioneer seat on boring busted BR Mid. Standard was Esper Bounce and Modern was of course Merfolk.
Snorlax fit clearly the key to success.
Lil' life update. Beck and I renewed our vows for our 20th anniversary ๐
Stoked to see the photos by the amazing Sarah England. Also picked up a nice souvenir from #magicconvegas #mtgvegas

Some interest in the list.
If I were able to make the RC in Toronto this weekend I would be taking this. Mistcaller and Tidebinder are great hedges for the new Discover meta.

You just played cauldron. Can you win this turn? *No cards in hand, one creature without abilities in the gy.

๐ nยบ 1 With merfolk!! Tishana's Tidebinder is a extremely powerful card that flew under the radar for me at least. The sideboard needs a lot of work still but this feels awesome ๐๐
It's nice to see some "explore matters" cards that aren't wild growth walker. This is an awesome pick up for pioneer and curves nicely into Jadelightโ๏ธ

When โTishanaโs Tidebinderโ etb counter target activated or triggered ability. If an ability from an artifact, creature or planeswalker is countered this way, that permanent loses all its abilities as long as โTishanaโs Tidebinderโ remains on the battlefield. ๐ฎ๐๐
This one is very cool. Has some obvious combos and the best one plays nicely with Cauldron which is great with explore tying it together.

Another cool ones for blue Nykthos enjoyers
Replying to @wizards_magic
Next is the new Craft mechanic which has a cost associated and when paid, the card transforms into its backside. As seen with The Enigma Jewel and Locus of Enlightenment!
