In this episode, I’m talking to Brian Rowe, host of the YouTube Channel Mythic MTG Tech. Brian is a wealth of knowledge and knows so much about the the game, the cards, the finances, strategy, the list goes on and on. But what’s most important is Brian’s passion for building community within Magic: The Gathering.

Brian is a warm and generous person and enjoys meeting everyone.

His day job is in law, so we get to touch on some law stuff.

Brian also loves chess and table top games. He’s working on a new project called Meeples Included where he writes strategy. Before talking with Brian, I wasn’t sure what a Meeple was. If you’re not sure either, Brian explains it to us.

I had a great time talking with Brian, please enjoy this episode of Kitchen Table Magic!

I also want to dedicate this episode of Kitchen Table Magic to Christopher Rush.

Who doesn't adore alliteration?

Justin, Shawn, a digitized Stephen, and I are back following a Bridge from Below to Modern's newest old kid on the block.

Does Modern Dredge have the power to upset the format, and what can you do to stop it?

(Hint: Rest in Peace is great)

Next up is Shawn's brainchild in our first ever Deck Brewing segment! This month is all about breaking Bedlam Reveler in Modern!

We go through the aspects of the card that we're looking to abuse, cards that will help us with that, and finally end up with a 60 card main deck that's ready to be tested and tinkered with!

Here's what we came up with:

4 Bedlam Reveler, 4 Tarmogoyf, 3 Scavenging Ooze, 3 Liliana of the Veil, 3 Lighting Bolt, 2 Abrupt Decay, 2 Terminate, 1 Seal of Fire, 1 Tarfire, 3 Mishra's Bauble, 1 Kolaghan's Command, 3 Inquisition of Kozilek, 2 Thoughtseize, 2 Whispers of Emrakul, 2 Faithless Looting, 1 Infernal Tutor. 23 Jund Lands.

How would you build it differently? Make sure you submit suggestions on Twitter and Facebook for next month!

Stay turned for more next week!

What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?

At first, Andrew liked the lore. Then, because when he gets into things he like to do them well, he started getting more competitive. Now, Magic is a social component of his life and he likes the people he can surround himself with when he plays.

Early Challenge

Andrew lost a lot during team drafts when he started and while this was disheartening he learned to ask for help. By getting guidance from better players he slowly improved his win percentage.

Worst Magic Moment

At Grand Prix Pittsburgh Andrew was salty most the day because he needed 2 points to get Silver level as a pro player and even after two byes he found himself 6-3. His core group wasn't with him on this trip so things just seemed bad. Thankfully, another friend scooped to him and he was able to carry on but Andrew learned that the people you surround yourself with are very important.

Proudest Magic Moment

Making top 4 at GP Oklahoma City.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Players are quick to clean up and move to the next game after losing. Andrew takes his time and reviews the entire game in his head (especially if he lost). He will analyze hands, land drops and spell sequencing to see what he could have done better.

Non-Magic Activity

Exercise

What's in Your Tournament Bag

Deck

Clothes

Toiletries

Improvement Suggestions

Draft at least once a week (if you're new to the game).

Set a long-term goal (like making Day 2 or Top 8 of a Grand Prix) and then actively work towards it.
