@Zage: I’m glad to hear that the information given were useful for you! I will bring up a similar introduction for pauper and other PREs as part of the series.

@Xaos: The Heirloom constructed event is a tough competition! The metagame changes a lot on a very powerful level. I’m looking forward to beat the dominant mono black discard decks soon

Another great work in the annals of Heirloom history. It’s strange to already have nostalgia over such a new format heh. I agree that merfolk could easily be a dominant deck if people would cut it down to monoblue with a very low/brutal/disruptive curve. With the limited league going and the idea to participate in Commander in mixed games or all Heirloom games with Heirloom Commander decks there’s really nothing I need to do outside of Heirloom to satisfy my MTG itch these days.

X, Heirloom Artificer-

This is how the Pauper Articles on MTGO Academy should be. Great job!

I thought myself about a discard deck that hates out the current discard decks

The combined event will be great, I have my deck ready!

The meta is shifting to discard after the last two tournaments, and I guess we’ll see some more in the next one, before somebody finds a way to hate it out (or improve it?).

I also foresee more Merfolk aggro/control and maybe a return of land destruction (that also stops combo decks).

And I can’t wait for the Tribal/Heirloom combined event!
