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!

Hahaha omg I hadn't even thought of the alternatives! Not using Timeless Lotus is absolutely wild, how was this decision made????

I find this an absolutely hilarious include. They put in a completely useless bulk rare card, because it has 'Timeless' in the name.

There will not only be bans for pioneer, but also unbans! I have no clue what they're thinking of unbanning, it'll be an interesting b&r for sure

I am HYPED for Amsterdam, this is close enough to my home that I'll be able to go! At the same time it's disappointing that the EU Magiccon will feature the modern pro tour two years in a row, I hope they switch it up for the coming years.

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.

yes!

5-colour is just called 5 colour or WUBRG, and colorless is also just called colorless, they don't have specific names

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.
