MH3 is fully spoiled! I made an article on Flexslot with my opinion on MH3 cards for UWx Control:
Notable cards include:
Wrath of the Skies
Static Prison
Consign to Memory
Invert Polarity

I'm sorry but how do you have the audacity to post this after you basically screwed your opponent out of the top 8, after you both agreed to terms if it ended up in a draw.
Do you have absolutely no remorse?

I once called a judge for the oracle text of my own card. I couldn’t remember the order of Cryptic Command and it was relevant during the game.
My opponent and the judge found it hilarious.
It is one of the most memorable moments for me even though it was long ago.

Lost in the finals of the RC against Living End 1-2. Jonathan Dery and I did not lose a single match against rhinos. I will now convert the deck name to: Azorius Zookeeper. I believe I punted very hard in the finals and could have converted into a win but I am grateful

I don't feel good about Magic right now. I don't see myself playing any format except for competitive events.

The One Ring is a great card but not ban-worthy and the Modern meta will adapt to it, as it did with Ragavan/Wrenn/Free Spells/Cascade.

Your apology does not seem genuine with how you are presenting yourself. I originally saw your first tweet and thought "Finally, a long overdue apology, we can all move on." I thought you finally realized what you did wrong and made amends with Brian.

My takes on Pioneer after LCI:
Discover is a design mistake for Pioneer. Free spells should never exist in a format which clearly made its distinction from Modern. One card combo that really seems to only lose to Control decks. You end up invalidating a lot of decks with that

Would something like this work in MTG Competitive?
All RCs become open events. The entry fee is $150 (Like MC Opens) and would have a bigger prize pool.
RCQs still exist and they provide a free entry to the RC if you qualify, kind of like Poker Satellites.

Said it before and will continue saying it:
The One Ring is simply an upgraded JTMS. Doesn't make it OP. This card is not bannable. The card is strong but not busted.

There is no card that is bannable in this set, from what I see.

Returned from Toronto and I am continuing my practice for RC Atlanta. Trying out some new cards in the side. After 5-0ing this League, I can now confidently say:
UW Lotus Field is probably one of the strongest decks in Pioneer and is facilitated by its simplicity/effortlessness.
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.

Taking long breaks from MTG is healthy. I took about a month break.

In RC Ottawa, I drew twice against both of my friends and I was winning in the last game both times, with the second draw being a win-and-in but I didn’t expect a concession.
I could have played better and if I missed top 8 because of it, then it is still on me, not on them.

Hypothetical
Win and in for top 8 of RC
You and your opp make an agreement that if you go to time whoever is behind will concede so someone makes top 8.
Turns are over, you’re very far behind and instead of conceding you take the draw.
Do you think you’re a scumbag?

I continue to be humbled after every PT. Although I have Day 2’d every PT, I have never been able to get a score good enough to requeue.

Dan Macdonald is 8-0, the only undefeated player in RC Montreal right now.
I am glad. He was among one of the many friends I showed this list to and only he is playing it. He made two sideboard changes, which I agree with.
I will be rooting for him tomorrow!

I am not playing the RC but I had shared my list on my Patreon and to my friends.
I would not have played UWx Control. I actually built an Esper Invasion deck to attack the meta better
Dan Mac is the only one I know of that is playing it and is currently 4-0

Geological Appraiser and Trumpeting Carnosaur are incredible in Pioneer. The decks playing this duo regularly kill the turn Geo is cast (turn 3-4) via chaining Discovers since they are ETBs and thus work with Glasspool Mimic and Eldritch Evolution. Plus, Carno has Channel. Crazy!

My thoughts on Modern after the ban:
5c Rhinos will still be alive and Tier 1. It suffered a ban but loses one of its worst matchups (Living End). Living End is dead.
Many potential Tier-1 decks now so with that said,
UW Control takes a short-term hit until the meta settles.

It top 8d the Four Seasons event and The Kadou Series recently.
I didn’t do so hot at the PT
Unexpected 5-0 🏆 with Jeskai Day's Undoing on stream! Doing the combo feels soooo good! 🥰 Veedeo will be out on my Youtube channel in the next days!

And with that the decklists for the PT are final!
I will be on Jeskai Control once again.
Thank you to
@IgnotusMTG
for putting in the mutual time and effort in making what I think is a great list!
Thank you to Topdeckhero for helping make this all possible!

There is more text about a new booster than the ban announcement itself.
A bit of a slap in the face...
