After our match, my burn opponent felt the need to apologize for beating me. When I looked puzzled he said “most people get salty after losing to burn.” I think this speaks a lot to how some players conduct themselves when they lose. 1/2
Decklist submitted for RC Denver! Honestly, I cannot wait to battle.

about Lutri, he just threw together a Lutri Discord. Come say hello!

RIP Modern
Just got the draw that locks me for the Players Championship. Lots of emotions - it still doesn’t feel real.
Huge thanks to my incredible teammates on
@TeamLotusBox
, and everyone else who supported me this year. My success is only thanks to the people around me. I feel so lucky.
The Lutri run swiftly ended with back to back losses to Burn. 😅
Its been great seeing everyone get excited about the deck. I was happy to see so many people picking it up and trying it out.
Magic is awesome
Took one slot and

took the other, maximum rcq efficiency

runs a great tournament and is a pleasure to get cards from, highly recommend if you're in Wilmington
C’mon everyone. This issue isn’t worth losing friends over. I dream of the day where we can have positive discourse on subjects without drawing arbitrary lines in the sand. This “us vs. them” mentality with the MPL is destructive. (1/3)
First opening hand of the tournament had one land, Goblin Guide, Bomat Courier, and Mishra’s Bauble. Bauble my top, saw a non land, lead with Bomat Courier. I’m a fucking genius

Had a great time at GalaxyCon Richmond! Drove up with Quinn and Jesse. Collectively the car is taking home $7,125 in prizes. The three of us chopped Top 4 of the $5k today
Thought I was hot stuff when I cast Turn 3 Ghalta, Primal Hunger. My opponent definitely showed me up when he untapped, Hijacked my Ghalta, and exerted his Combat Celebrant for 28 damage. Dead at

@ReidDuke
just watched your latest Jund video, and I must say I am devastated by the loss of the single MM Tarmogoyf. Your split was iconic. Please bring it back
Definitely threw away game 1 to playing loose, but was able to pull things back into gear and win the next two. Playing for the 8-0 next round!

There are a ton of life lessons like this that I’ve learned from Magic.
One of my favorites is learning to focus on things inside of your control and accepting the things that aren’t under your control.
What are some ways that MTG has changed your perspective on life?
I played against Logan Mize yesterday who made the same upkeep Collected Company play against me. Logan had no foils and I do not believe he did this maliciously, he had just bricked the previous Coco. I’d be curious to hear his rationale. This is not damning evidence for me. 1/3
This person cast an upkeep Collected Company on camera when it made no sense to do so. I believe it happened because they knew their top card was a good hit due to the curve of the card. Judges don't DQ people unless they believe it was intentional cheating.
I really enjoyed this Modern RCQ season!
I played 10 RCQs. 8 top 8s, 3 quarters losses, 4 scoops to the invite, and won the last I’ll get to play this season
I valued being able to play more local events over going to Denver
Pretty lame that you can’t keep playing with a Q 😤
4-1 after having to scoop the first match mid g1 due to Lutri (my cat) spilling water all over my keyboard and mouse
We call that a Lutri 5-0
Shoutout to

What a phenomenal tournament. Huge congrats to
@weirdlandguy
for taking it down. I was trash talking Chandra all day so that was a fitting way to end it 😂
#SCGRICH
They even took responsibility for it and commended the judges for doing their job. But twitter has decided to paint them the villain because they made an irrational play on camera. It makes me sad and I fear we have ostracized a kind and genuine member of our community. 3/3
I'm excited to announce that starting this week I'm going to be offering coaching for Magic: the Gathering. If anyone is interested in improving their game, you can schedule a session with me at
Played loose the first two games. Still can’t figure out why I binned that Tamiyo game one. Kept a sketcher game 5 and got punished. On to the next.
#SCGCON
This PC race is killing me. It breaks down my normal approach of results don’t matter; just focus on your play. I’ve become much more results oriented and have been agonizing over my recent cold streak. Not how I want to approach the game/my lifestyle 😣

If we get to the point where we believe that “I’m in group A so I should think this” or “I’m in group B so I should think that” then we are truly lost. We can do better.

Winter Invitational. What an incredible weekend. Shout out to the new friends and old who helped make this weekend great. Too many people to tag, but I love you all!
Trying out a new Modern Lutri brew, this time live on Twitch! Come watch me stumble through setting up my stream and some modern leagues, starting soon at 1PM EST
Making Top 8 of the Standard Classic was sweet, but the highlight of my day was definitely beating up on

This twitter mob is rubbing me the wrong way. I played Micheal McClure at 7-0 on Saturday. They struck me as genuinely kind and set off no red flags. Reading their posts on twitter makes me think the foils were just a mistake. They were trying to be as transparent as possible 2/3
Didn’t play my best today. Neglected breakfast, and punted 2 matches. I guess Griselbrand and I just weren’t vibing quite like we have. Gonna go revisit my good friend Goblin Guide tomorrow, hopefully they can show me the way.

No one is perfect; people ARE going to be biased and wrong. But if we let that create lines in the sand where people not involved find themselves on one side or the other, it inhibits productive discourse and actual progress. (2/3)
