Tiny Leaders: Reborn

  Hello everyone, It’s been quite a year in Tiny Town. 2025 brought a lot of meaningful changes, some big, some small, that reshaped how we operate, how we connect, and how Tiny Leaders: Reborn continues to grow. Committee Evolution & Structure One of the earliest changes this year happened within the Committee itself. Fishe stepped back from her role as a Core Member, and I transitioned into that seat. Around the same time, the Committee expanded with the addition of new Consultants: Esper, Adri/Urza, and Cosmerian . Not long after, Lyon also joined the Core Members, bringing that group to three, our favorite mystical number. These additions kicked off a broader effort to better define how the Committee functions. Alongside this, we formally introduced the Advisor role, which had existed informally for a while. Fishe, Olivier, and Plaguerat stepped into those seats, continuing to provide valuable experience and some long-term perspective. Another big step was the creation o...

  Upkeep Steps     Each time I draft one of my cubes, I look for what went right, what could be better, and what did not work according to expectation. While the data I get is limited, through iteration after iteration I can steadily bracket the performance of my cubes toward the ideal (even if that ideal is ultimately unachievable). To this end, I try to take feedback with an open mind and critical eye.     I chose the categories intentionally and deliberately: I want to know what went right, the things that I'm doing right that I should repeat or continue to achieve a desired effect.

And I want to know what isn't meeting expectations; there are too many reasons why something isn't [doing the thing], and because it didn't work how I wanted and planned for it to doesn't mean it didn't do anything, and indeed it may have had...

Summary of Changes Underworld Breach – Remains on Watchlist Edric, Spymaster of Trest – Unbanned & Watchlisted Metalworker – Unbanned & Watchlisted Underworld Breach - Remains on Watchlist Underworld Breach remains on the watchlist. While it hasn’t made any major waves in recent events, we want to see if the results of this Fall’s SCT tournament has any influence on its future performance. Nearly half of the SCT field is on some form of combo or combo-adjacent strategy, and Breach has historically played a role in enabling those styles of decks. That said, the combos represented were diverse: Ral, Monsoon Mage - Storm 2x Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer - Food Chain Acererak, the Archlich Light-Paws, Emperor’s Voice - Auras/Voltron Kemba, Kha Enduring - Hammer Time Saint Traft and Rem Karolus - Jeskai Ascendancy/Intruder Alarm The current Tiny Leaders meta is healthy and fun, and we want to make sure t...
