20-1 this weekend at SCG Dallas and locked in for top 8 of the Modern $10K at 8-0 for back to back top 8s + ReCQ 5-0. Is this a dream? I feel like I am going to pinch myself and wake up in my bed in ATL. Only loss so far was to @RelicRobin - cracked player and human being!

Quick update on my Murktide Regent list (big thanks to @PBvrtosz since most of this is from him). Here are a few things I have learned while testing: 1. Street Wraith is not good in the Murktide version, I am not even convinced it is without Murktide. (1/X)

Let's start brewing 60 Cards Omnath! Following @daryl_ayers & @Ajelenbogen discussion yesterday I think we may want to go higher curve in 60 cards and go toward PWs as we don't have the room for the Tutor package. Low on 1 drops to become a good chalice deck.

5-0 with @YrielPenguin 's list with a minor twist (-1 Heat, +1 Persist). I really like the Temur version of the deck the best and Persist was fine as a 1-of, not having 4 archons main made the range of keepable hands a lot higher. Now I have to decide this or UR for RCQs!

SW doesn't play well with Expressive Iteration, doesn't fuel Murktide and most importantly is actively bad in a lot of MUs. Our life total is very relevant against decks like Hammer, Burn and Murktide (since they play 4 bolts). It is also a terrible draw midgame. (2/X)

Slowly learning Legacy and just got my first trophy! I'm 12-3 with this version of Delver (and in Legacy in general) and the deck has felt pretty amazing & fun so far. A big thank you to my friend @PBvrtosz for all his insights and @learntolove66 for the amazing Delver primer!

Thinking about this more I think we may want to use the 4C Omnath Kaheera decks that were popular last year as a base:

@SpiderSpaceMTG @meanfannypack This is probably me being dumb but how does Spear save the SFM from bolt? It still has 3 toughness unless I am missing something

Mythic with stock Rakdos Midrange in Explorer. This deck felt very clean with a 77% WR (20-6). Lolth was very good and I would recommend having it in! @fireshoes for value.

Trophied with Sultai in limited MoM! This limited format has been a lot of fun and the power level feels very high which is a ton of fun to draft with! Tag @fireshoes - you're best!

@Boggememes @PBvrtosz I agree with that. Maybe the future of GDS is with a main deck closer to the previous Lurrus versions. My main concern is that I have a hard time seeing this as a top deck without Lurrus, although I haven't tested non Murktide GDS yet. What do you think?

3-1ed the Monday night Prelim with the same list. I had the most insane game againt Mill in which I won with 0 cards in my deck after milling them with Dauthis. In their last turn their fetch failed to find with 3 crabs in play which would have killed me. This deck is so fun!

@meanfannypack I am not sure there is a way to have lethal this turn with 2 bolts. I would move to combat, attack with 1 SFM, cast 1st hammer, if bolt, cast 2nd hammer, if bolt, SFM the Reality chip to setup for next turn. If no bolt but they block, SFM the spear for lethal.

With the amount of 4C and Saga decks, I think it is worth exploring this archetype over UR at the moment, Grixis is much better equipped to deal with both archetypes mentioned above! Tagging @argzax , @Mtg_SoulStrong , and @RappaciousOne for value! (5/5)

@bamzing_mtg @Do0mswitch @bigjc00 @oskiyaa @JUJUBEAN__2004 @bstee @SCIPIOS1 @DemonicTutors @Do0mswitch and his discord tested a ton of variations of UR but focusing on the strengths of UR (Tempo and Moon) ended up working best. I am so happy to see the deck take it in the hands of its best pilot. Sorry, we didn't make Saga work @armlx , but you your article was right!

Trophied 🏆 my first MoM sealed with UB! Invasions with flyers felt absolutely insane and Yorion was so good. If limited is any indication I expect invasions to have an insane impact on Standard and maybe Pioneer, but probably not Modern. Tag @fireshoes , you're the best!

@RelicRobin I think it's too narrow / 4C usually plays 3/4 furies and 2+ bolts now. We also want to find action early because of the beans. What other MUs is it good in? Hammer?

2. Consider is okay but it doesn't feel great, I do not really think we want more discard so I am currently debating what to replace it with. 3. 3 Murktide seems like a good spot at the moment, this can change easily though. (3/X)

🏆 #4 with Gary Wong's Temur Rhinos with a lot of knowledge on how to play the deck learned from @d00mwake 's stream. I am 9-1 with only 1 game loss outside of the match loss with the decks so far. It feels like it's very hate-resistant and a blast to play if you like Tempo decks
