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!

Thanks to Bookrook for suggesting the subject matter! I hope you can discern what I'm talking about as I try to play the format! It's hard to talk about a format in general as I play it.

THE VIDEO!

Seriously though, the Momir format is fun because it's so random. You have to either hit the right creatures to swing things in your favor or press your advantage as hard as you can.

Or play the last game I did, right after I turned off the camera where the RNG decided I was playing Mono- Fliers and won the game that way.

But that fun comes at the price of either only playing on Arena due to the options involved, or do a lot of prep work. Best used as a Kitchen table format and or by limiting the creatures you can use to a Cube-like construction rule set.

Thank you all for watching, and let me know how this worked out for you! Maybe I'll do this more often than not.

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!
