@mtgds.bsky.social are you running a #P0P1 for Secrets of Strixhaven?
π―I am pleased to announce the winner of the Lorwyn Eclipsed #P0P1 Challenge:
π @formersquid π
Going deep on BG, and hitting on the second-best Eclipsed creature (Kithkin), proved to be the keys to victory!
Some wisdom of the crowds, accumulated from the #P0P1 entries. Highly picked cards have historically been winning cards, so here are the commons and #2CUDS to look for before the @17lands.bsky.social data comes out.
Submitted my #ECL #P0P1. Focused hard on what I think will be the best colour/type & went for cards with high floors instead of ceilings.
Notable exceptions: Cinder Strike (overrated), Merrow Skyswimmer (hybrid will go in wrong decks), Great Forest Druid (again could go in wrong decks).
Literal hours until #P0P1 kicks off -- this is a great opportunity to get some last-minute insight before you make your selections π

Feeling good about my selections this time -- I usually end up middle of the pack. Hoping to break that streak!!

Feels like a great #P0P1 prospect
"Moose & Squirrel"β’οΈ
Should be a decent #P0P1 option
The birgrams give a little more specificity. Most of these are #P0P1 Challenge-related, but there is some "pop quiz hot shot" nonsense in there, as well as lots of discussion of cube and color pairs.

π@adam_ddavp π
Going long on blue, short on black, but nailing Foggy Swamp Spirit Keeper (which most missed) were keys to victory!
One thing I enjoy about the #P0P1 contest is that there is *definitely* some skill to it -- it's clearly not just random. As evidence, I'll note that the top of the table is always full of familiar names -- folks who have placed well before. And... this time... @sierkovitz.bsky.social!
Thanks to #P0P1 participants, I can share with you a little wisdom-of-the-crowds preview for TLA. These cards were the ones most picked for the contest, and that's usually a decent predictor of GIHWR. So, until we begin getting @17lands.bsky.social data, here's a start.
My #P0P1 team for #TLA. Most unsure about B and G (tempted by Merchant of Many Hats).
W: Kyoshi Warriors
U: Forecasting Fortune Teller
B: Callous Inspector
R: Firebending Lesson
G: Rocky Rebuke
+1: Lighting Strike
+2: Fire Nation Cadets
2CUDS: Jet, Freedom Fighter
Rare: Katara, Water Tribe's Hope
Excellent #P0P1 prep, as we approach tomorrow's tip-off!
Great prep for #P0P1 π
Thanks to everyone who participated! If you haven't already, now would be a great time to get your submissions in for the Avatar: The Last Airbender #P0P1 Challenge:

π―I am pleased to announce the winner of the first-ever Arena Powered Cube #P0P1 Challenge:
πdipples! π
Going deep on RW (Gut, Bolt, Helix, Oust) and leaning on Black Lotus were keys to a sizeable victory!

Nothing exciting, but probably a good #P0P1 prospect.
I think we should start calling these "Moose & Squirrel" cards, after @maro254.bsky.social's original coinage.
Some wisdom of the crowds, as the Arena Powered Cube gets started. These are the most-picked cards by #P0P1 participants, a list that often correlates well with GIHWR.
I am happy to say that this contest had by far the most entrants of any I have run. Cube π€ Limited data!
Sjoroos spreading the joy of #P0P1 in Stockholm -- will other major European cities follow suit?
The more I think about the 17lands data for powered cube. The more I think it'll just be bad. One of my #p0p1 challenge picks was reanimate. But I've been convinced into thinking that the data will probably say that this is a bad card. (Mostly because I think the reanimate archetype will be bad)
Alright y'all -- 23ish hours until the Arena Powered Cube goes live, and the submission window for #P0P1 closes.
Don't miss your chance to prove that you knew which cards were good *before* we had the data.
Powerful Nothing has a good high-level overview of the new Arena Powered Cube. Good #P0P1 prep, if you're looking for it!
