Join us for a brief interlude in our Silksong playthroughs to do some draft log review!

www.twitch.tv/jointexplora...

Shorter stream tonight - a bit of RCQ postmortem from Jason and Mora, and then going over one draft log! www.twitch.tv/jointexplora...

We're going to stream a short waterLOGged Teachings session (1 log instead of 2, probably) in about 45 min - Jason and Mora were busy RCQing

Going live with some more Waterlogged Teachings!!! Reviewing single elim logs this time.

www.twitch.tv/jointexplora...

Going live now! With a new starting soon screen and an extra person to boot!

twitch.tv/jointexplora...

going to be going live w/ this (reviewing my and ryan's arena open draft logs) at around 8 EST!

We're doing this again today at around 8:30 PM EST!

Surprise stream (in that I forgot to say anywhere that this happen)!

Jason and Ryan Condon are starting a possibly-recurring (we'll see) draft log review stream!

The plan is to go over a draft log, and then maybe do a draft afterwards.

Come join us prep for EOE draft!

Update on the hiatus situation: it is going to be permanent :(

Unfortunately, cft no longer has the time to consistently stream.

We will keep the channel around, and plan to continue to do sporadic one-off streams (like the team drafts vs SystemMagic!), but nothing regular.

Ty for watching!

as an update: this will probably be a little more extended, at least until the next set release

Joint Exploration will be going on at least a little bit of a hiatus as the two of us take a break post-PT.

Teamdraft time!!! Let's crush these Systemmagic nerds <3

twitch.tv/jointexplora...

With the teamdraft tomorrow, let's get in some practice today - streaming the finals of a MTGO single elim, and then some more Bo3 drafts on Arena!

twitch.tv/jointexplora...

We’re so back! The second ever official Joint Exploration vs System Magic Team Draft is happening this Thursday starting at 7pm CT/8pm ET. Which streaming duo will master Final Fantasy?!?

Tune in tomorrow!!

cft placed 2nd at RC Montreal last weekend with Izzet Prowess!

But this upcoming weekend is the Modern Spotlight Series in Indianapolis, so we're moving right along as we figure out what to do in this weird format.

First: let's explore a somewhat old idea: Living End Control.

Actually we're just going to take this week off of streaming entirely.

No stream today, due to some transportation-related issues.

Also no stream on Thursday, as cft is going to Montreal to LCQ.

One deckbuilding theory that you could subscribe to is that you should probably play at least one of the best cards in the format.

What if we played three of them - Mox Opal, Phalge, and Cori-Steel Cutter?

It's looking like we probably won't be, unfortunately.

here's a deck image w/ alt text

The original Vitality combo, back when the card was released, was Stormsplitter, not Floodcaller. Now that we have some more toys to play with - namely Stock Up and Cutter - let's revisit that!
