Meta Makers: Spring 2025 SCT

Image
 Hey Tiny Leaders! It's been awhile, so if you're new allow me to reintroduce myself and this series. My name is Mecha, and I have been playing competitive Tiny Leaders Reborn for just over two years now. I have won multiple tournaments and competed in many more, and have piloted many decks over that time, primarily as an Aggro mage. As a writer, the goal of this series is to provide not only an objective overview of the raw numbers associated with the metagame, but also my own personal thoughts on the health of the format, the meta, and what makes the relevant decks relevant. We will go over color splits, deck lists, and even a couple of specific matches themselves. Now, Lets begin! What's The Meta With You? The TLR online meta has evolved over the last two years in various ways, often due to busted cards being printed into the format (thanks MH3.) Additionally, there have been many innovations in decklists over that time, and some decks that have come out of left field an...

Meta Makers: SCT Spring 2024

 Hello, Tiny Leaders! Welcome to another installment of Meta Makers! Today we will discuss what happened in the Spring SCT and which cards are making the top decks successful. Lots of graphs today as there is so much data to sift through, but it is my hope that I will be able to present it in an interesting manner. Part 1: Favorites Fall, New Faces Rise Going into the bracket, high seeded players faced off against their lower seeded counterparts, which had some quite surprising results as a few key upsets took place, most notably number 15 seeded Skooma beating out number 2 Carbon. In that same vein, one of my personal favorites to win this tournament, Esper, lost their round one matchup against Mahra. Another notable player and committee consultant, Zula, also dropped their match against Epeboch.  Coming out of the first round on top we have: Gitrogatog, Skooma, Epeboch, Zyxia, Mishra, Mahra, Minicrab and Cosmerian. The key matches in round one were: Carbon v Skooma, and Mech...

Meta Makers: Underworld Breach

 Hello, Tiny Leaders!     This is the first installment of a (hopefully) long series I plan on writhing about the cards which are effecting the meta the most.  For those of you who may not know me, I have been playing Tiny for about a year and a half now, and have played through several meta shifts, piloting multiple decks to high placements in tournaments. That said, since this is the first installment, I look forward to hearing feedback from the community about what i have to say. The plan is for these to be long form, in as much depth as I can muster, and include screenshots from deck lists which include the card I'm referencing. Let us begin with our card of the day, Underworld Breach For one glorious turn, assuming you aren't recurring it, breach gives you  access to each and every nonland card in your graveyard at the cost of their mana value and exiling three other cards from your graveyard. Costing only two mana, you will often be able to cast multiple s...
