</p><p>Luka is one of the kids that got me playing this scene. This build of his demonstrates an important Gladiator tenet: synergies are great, but bombs are probably better. It's not rocket science: in a format with hundred card decks and only twenty life, it's important to draw nutso cards as often as possible. This deck draws some mythic monster bomb that should have another one or 2 mana in its cost and then protects it and/or pumps it for the win. Which monster ends up doing the hit is pretty irrelevant. And what's even more impressive is that his low drops aren't embarrassing either!

I believe it currently solves the following problems: </p><p> </p><p><ul> </p><p><li>There is a global pandemic in progress and it is very hard for (reasonable) people to play <strong>Magic</strong> in the same physical space much of the time. This means there's an abundance of players of all demographics that are missing a piece of their usual <strong>Magic</strong> experience that was previously being administered. <strong>Magic Arena</strong> and <strong>Magic Online</strong> are the obvious adaptations.</li> </p><p><li><strong>Magic Arena</strong> has a more developed and curated card pool than its older <strong>Magic</strong> siblings. Both are technically viable, but Arena has intuitive interfaces that solve "is this card legal?" problems. This will be an issue for people that first want to take the format to paper (which they should), but after a while, like all <strong>Magic</strong> information, it will be internalized, preserved, and updated by whatever percentage of the community wants to do it.</li> </p><p> </p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/Magic%3A+The+Gathering/Indestructibility" rel="noopener noreferrer"><div class="cardimg center"><a href="/p/Magic%3A+The+Gathering/Indestructibility"><img height="300" width="220" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/csicdn/image/upload/fl_lossy,q_auto/v1/Images/Products/mtg%20art/Magic%202014/full/Indestructibility.jpg" alt="Indestructibility"/></a></div></a> </p><p> </p><p><li><strong>Magic Arena</strong> has a hole in its "fun capability" in the same way that the paper <strong>Magic</strong> scene did before Cube and Commander were implemented into the culture. Gladi-ator fills this niche at nearly no investment to players beyond spending the time to make decks whose com-ponents are likely already sitting in your collection.</li> </p><p></ul> </p><p> </p><p>But just to make sure it gets an honest go, I'm going to spend a few hours a week on my upcoming <a href="http://www.twitch.tv/indestructibledwest" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitch stream relaunch</a> playing pick up games against whoever would like to try it out. My playgroup is at around six or seven and growing for the format, and I'm happy to cultivate some seeds if the interest is there. </p><p> </p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/Magic%3A+The+Gathering/Cultivate" rel="noopener noreferrer"><div class="cardimg center"><a href="/p/Magic%3A+The+Gathering/Cultivate"><img height="300" width="220" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/csicdn/image/upload/fl_lossy,q_auto/v1/Images/Products/mtg%20art/Core%20Set%202021%20Variants/full/Cultivate317.jpg" alt="Cultivate"/></a></div></a> </p><p> </p><p>The Gladiator games will take place among some retro Super Nintendo gaming for good causes.

As a health abnormal, I'm stuck indoors most of the time, and that's probably not going to change much anytime soon.
