UW Lotus Field is probably one of the strongest decks in Pioneer but is hindered by its complexity/difficulty. A single misplay or mistake in sequencing lands can be an instant loss.

Brainworms wouldn't let me sleep without trying to put Tamiyo and Urza's Saga together in a deck, so I stayed up until 2:00am but 5-0ed first try with Dimir Saga! Deck was super fun to play and felt great. MTGO made this deck image hard to parse so there's a link in alt

Modern Challenge top 8 with Twiddle! Went undefeated in Swiss then got a little unfortunate in quarterfinals. This deck feels favored into most of the top decks right now like Jeskai, Nadu, and Energy. Look out for some live gameplay later this week!

Been trying not to engage on here very much but thought I'd share the Twiddle Storm list I just used to win the Sunday night Modern challenge (which happened to be the Mill gauntlet for some reason???). I will likely post a sideboard guide soon if people are interested

Another challenge with Dimir Fraga, 5-2 losing twice to Goryo's even though it feels like a good matchup (also conceded the last round bc my breakers were garbage and they were live for top 8)

Finally got a 5-0 🏆 with Rona. I feel like I'm actually approaching a list that I like.
Keep in mind that Aetherflux Reservoir is only necessary on MTGO, you can just win with The Stone Brain in paper.
Also I still have no idea how to build a Pioneer mana base 🤷♂️

Scrubbed out of an RCQ today, but it was worth it for the hilarious moment when my round 1 Amulet Titan opponent played a Boros Garrison with Amulets out and tried to shortcut asking "Do you know how Amulet Titan works?"

8-2 so far with a Karn package in Sultai Rona. 4 mana is a lot but having a wincon that doesn't need nonblue mana is nice. Having something to do after a Stone Brain on Rona felt great (Traxos as a backup Rona was very relevant). Still needs work.

Another challenge top 8 with Twiddle, played very poorly in game 3 of quarterfinals but so be it. Despite my play I love this 75, Brotherhood's End continues to impress. Probably gonna do a sideboard guide soon? idk wouldn't be the first time I've said that

Another top 8 with Twiddle, won 5 matches then lost 3 matches to Nadu. Matchup doesn't even feel that terrible tbh but I should be respecting it more with sideboard cards. Lorien came up once but still is probably just be better as the 4th fetch land

10-0 so far in leagues with this Amulet Titan list. Haven't cast a Phyrexian Metamorph yet, but I'm pretty confident with the other 73. Will likely try to throw together a sideboard guide soon, if I'm not as lazy as usual

Sideboard guide written, under the "primer" tab on my Moxfield decklist (linked below). While writing it I decided it would probably be more useful to explain *how* I sideboard rather than just the ins and outs, so I left some notes at the top.

Fae of Wishes felt great, probably better than Karn. Not sure if the entire Wish package is necessary, might just wanna play real sideboard cards.
Dig Through Time felt even better.

Ended “day 1” of RC Atlanta at 6-4 with Lotus Combo. Day started great, started to drop the ball later in the day. Not too disappointed considering how unconfident and underprepared I felt, but at least it’s over now. Might finally relax for the first time in months
