Hello Everyone! My name is berryjon, and I welcome you all to Pattern Recognition, TappedOut.Net's longest running article series. Also the only one. I am a well deserved Old Fogey having started the game back in 1996. My experience in both Magic and Gaming is quite extensive, and I use this series to try and bring some of that to you. I dabble in deck construction, mechanics design, Magic's story and characters, as well as more abstract concepts. Or whatever happens to catch my fancy that week. Please, feel free to talk about each week's subject in the comments section at the bottom of the page, from corrections to suggested improvements or your own anecdotes. I won't bite. :) Now, on with the show!


And welcome back everyone! Those of you who have been watching my works for a while know that I am a huge fan and participant of the local Slow Grow Tournament, and today, I have finished with my draft proposal of the Slow Grow Tournament Rules to submit to my Local Game Store! I'm also going to contact the guy in charge over there, just to be sure.

However, due to the necessity of public access, I have taken the liberty of creating a Google Document for people to read, and for me to allow the Judge access to for editing and expansion.

Here it is!

Slow Grow Rules

Read it, and well, here's hoping for the best.


Thank you all for reading! Please leave your comments below, and I look forward to talking with you about my subject matter. Join me next week when I talk about something! What? I don't know yet!

Until then, please consider donating to my Pattern Recognition Patreon. Yeah, I have a job (now), but more income is always better, and I can use it to buy cards! I still have plans to do a audio Pattern Recognition at some point, or perhaps a Twitch stream. And you can bribe your way to the front of the line to have your questions, comments and observations answered!

This article is a follow-up to Pattern Recognition #339 - Choice of Torment The next article in this series is Pattern Recognition #341 - Magic and Money

Out of curiosity, why is Thassa's Oracle not allowed? Are there really precons which can easily get rid of your library ? Or it it too easy to add demonic consulation/divining witch?

Too easy to combo out with it in any Blue deck from Teferi, Temporal Archmage on down.
