Huge shoutout to everyone giving me props and even the trolls out there lol not always perfect but I do love being part of this community and this game. Didn’t plug my teams stream but if u wanna come chill I stream 10-5 most days
Big shoutout to
@A22en
for negotiating a prize restructure to get me the dream hack invite to Anaheim. Really cool splitting finals with a player that I feel has played a huge role in my growth as a player. Also Really cool being in a top 8 with
@Rizzy5S
whom I can say same for
@Mengu09
makes a pretty sick deck as it turns out. I did like the murktides today and the 4th bolt but will have to try shredder in the future. Got the prelim 4-0, questing druid felt really really strong.
Big thanks to all my teamates and friends who have helped improve my game over the past few years! Happy to be player of the year at NRG, but the real bragging rights come in January! Hoping to take my boy
@Rizzy5S
crown!
Despite
@CrisSmithMTG
trolling with a nonsense card being added to the deck we still got the 5-0. Questing Druid such a messed up card. Dino 5-0 accomplished!
Fell just short of a 5-0 with this spicy list that I was inspired to play by the classic finish this weekend, lost game 3 to mono black aggro. White cards are gas
Got the 3-1 in the prelim with naya adventures. Deck seems to have some real potential. Virtue was likely nonsense and would just play more Rabbits and showdowns and then likely have a sb jeggy
Won my rcq that I almost didn’t make it to today with scam (phone didn’t charge last night and died). Shoutout to
@The_GingerBrute
for picking me up. Praying the format has some shakeups before Denver. 5 scams in our top 8
The stream is back! going to stream my murktide list and Rakdos list from NRG champs today. Also huge news, no more elevator music!
@dawn_delozier
helped me setup spotify on stream! Come check it out around 10am!
Trying out a sweet one Joseph Bernal won an RCQ with this past weekend in the prelim today, Golgari Karn! Afterwords and between rounds will be doing some vintage cube! Come hang out at 10am!
Shoutout to
@kanister_mtg
for a great article on elementals. 16-2 in games and 8-0 in matches en route to a finals split at the game on 1k this weekend. Deck is very good and the insights provided in the article give an excellent approach to piloting.
I am home. They still believe blood pressure is the cause. Ekg came back mostly normal but slight abnormalities so they are giving me a heart test on Monday. They will also be giving me a monitor and see if they can catch this happening again. Appreciate all of the support
Gunna take at least one more day off stream. Tuesday night went to er for what felt like a heart attack. Fortunately was not that but my blood pressure was so high that I had hypertensive crisis. taking medication for it so hopefully that fixes things but just trying to rest
Thrillseeker proves strong enough for a 5-0 again, real talk this card might actually be kinda good. Wins were RW convoke, RW convoke, mono red, auras, and rogues
My entire car top 8ed the
@apexgamingMTG
event today other than myself due to losing to two of them, still got top 16 and
@DanielStaup
nearly took it down. Can’t wait to come back for the next one, great shop and environment
Rough getting 9th in the

@dawn_delozier

@DisgruntledElk

Would you believe Rakdos cards are good? Shoutout to chat for the thrillseeker idea, very fun build around UW spirits mono black Devotion Rakdos GW Auras and Sultai Rona were the matchups.
Thanks to
@Rob_StanleyMTG

@Rizzy5S

What happens when two 2-trophy weekend competitors put their heads together with modern hammer? Come find out tomorrow as
@DisgruntledElk
joins the stream for the modern prelim with his list from the weekend! (With tweaks)
Rough finish for another 3-5 pt. Had a good grasp on limited thanks to working with team misfits but grossly overestimated my Phoenix matchup and was justly punished. Excited to build a sealed pool tomorrow
trying my favorite deck from the RC this weekend which took 13th place, Mono black aggro by Daniel hall in the pio prelim today at 10am! Come hang out!
Well I tested standard for a few days this week thinking the mythic qualifier weekend was standard, it was historic where I was fortunately able to take LSVs jund sac list to a nice clean 7-0. Excited for day two
Stream just ended, massive shoutout to
@Aspiringspike
again for the support. Had a sick battle of the brews with him earlier today! Rb bombardment vs bw specialist!
5-0-1 going to top 8 nrg stl. Happy I pulled some weight today and also happy
@SaltyOrang3

@MagicPescesito
as well for hopping on stream Thursday to test.
Skipping stream today due to Julia having day off and celebrating the lions victory with my roommate by forcing storm in vintage cube until 4am 😅. Will continue the celebration by biting some kneecaps in the pioneer prelim with tribal cats! See you all then!
very special day today as
@Mrtoolshed_
joins the stream as we battle out a standard gauntlet vs his UW tempo list! Will be doing best 2 out of 3 match sets where I will be playing the following: Check it out at 10am!
@jabjabber_
If this isn’t the definition of clickbait idk what is. Was expecting ojutai and sillumgars scorn with a few narsets sprinkled in and instead I’m shown a murktide regent. Disgusting.
Was confirmed I have Covid earlier today, keep taking this stuff seriously folks we are not out of the woods yet! I am fine just feels like I have a bad cold at this point but was obviously not a cold due to the longevity. Stay safe!
Unfortunately had to play last round and had some rough beats to get 11th but happy with a top 16 and look forward to playing tommorow. Rak sac felt quite strong. Hoping my teamate
@CrisSmithMTG
or friend Kyle Gonzalez can take it down!
Heliod infinate life’s me on turn 3, died to me decking them, all hail sakura tribe scout. Shout out to

Reminder to everyone

joins us for some Hammer Time this morning starting at 10am! Excited to jam some testing for
@apexgamingMTG
this weekend!
11th on breakers in the showcase qualifier. Unfortunate but kinda knew it was coming with a pair down in round 4. Waste not felt sweet and actually won a mirror in r5 vs bernes tores. Plan to get back to streaming tomorrow feeling much better and ready to roll!
Playing standard prelim today at noon with esper midrange, starting one final pioneer questing druid league with questing wizards before moving on to some other brews! Check it out at 10am!
After an incredible weekend its time to get back to work testing for the Regional Championship. Come hang out at 10am as I test out some new stuff from the weekend in Esper Legends!
Europe gave us some really cool modern decks to try including
@Mengu09s

@HarlanFirer

@A22en
“do we keep the second copy of this card on top?” Harlan: “I don’t think u want the first” Harlan before game 3 “why don’t we have the fourth copy of that in our deck?” ......
had to take chewy to the ER last night so stream will be starting a bit later today around 1pm. We think he had a seizure but seems to be doing fine now. Rakdos goblins and Jund midrange will be the decks I try out today!
Shout out to
@GavinBennettMTG

Not quite the finishes I wanted in either event but always great teaming with my buddy
@Rizzy5S
. Someday we will not bubble out on breakers together. Thanks to
@pipe_hawk
for being our third. Great teamates!
@DannyBambinoMTG
Still remember gp Louisville like ten years ago where my opponent double lightning strikes a desecration demon while I was at 6. I lost this match. That one hurt lol
For those that havnt already heard, the foil ragavan I won a few weeks ago at Galactic toys and games is going to be given away thanks to the Chanel hitting over 500 followers! How can you get ur hands on this you may ask?
Home and ready to go to sleep, huge shoutout to
@apexgamingMTG
and
@TandyMTG
for having myself and teammates out to the events this weekend. Stream may be starting a bit later tommorow will update everyone in the morning!
Massive shout out to
@Czarny11
for hitting the channel up with 20 gift subs today! We are now at 50 subscribers which means tommorow evening somebody is winning a foil ragavan!
Pretty exhausted after pt weekend so going to take one more day off the stream. Likely going to try rakdos camps in the prelim tommorow! See you all then.
Today we try out UB Shadow in Modern after it got a top 8 in a challenge this weekend, as well as UB Shadow in Legacy which won the challenge! Likely going to play both prelims if possible! Check it out at 10am!
Is Pioneer ruined? Come find out in the prelim with me today as I take a slightly edited version of the second place cascade list from the showcase at 10am!
Yet again obligatory shout out to
@kanister_mtg
for such an awesome list. Another top 8 today. Unfortunately last round opponent couldn’t draw in and beat me so I’m now 11-1 with the deck. Went with a 4th ending sb over the blessing/wear tear.
