🏆Congratulations to Jake Beardsley, the Pro Tour The Lord of The Rings Champion!🏆
Beardsley sliced through a field of powerful Modern decks and incredible players to take the title with his memorable Rakdos Evoke deck.
Congratulations again, Jake!
I cannot even remotely thank everyone I want to, but my girlfriend claire is the one that matters most. She is the best thing in my life and I love her dearly. Thanks for repeatedly joking about me making top 8 after I q’d
@claireb_vbva
I’m extremely excited to announce I’ll be starting my stream tomorrow at 1 pm EST and will be making it a regular thing Monday through Friday, so come check it out!
Top 8’d the Gathering Place 10k with Rakdos Scam. Deck continues to feel like the best thing to do in modern. Event was a blast and I’m excited for the next one!
@fireshoes
Finished in the top 12 at SCG Cinci with Scam! Deck is still great even after losing fury, and I’m planning on starting up a stream/other content, so if you’re interested stay tuned. Huge shoutout to all the homies I saw this weekend!
Obviously I talked a lot about my gf yesterday and for good reason, but I would absolutely be remiss to not shoutout
@SanctumOfAll
one more time for all the help prepping, and specifically
@liamkane_
for being the genius behind fable scam.
You know what would make
#MTGOMasters
even better? How about ANOTHER Pro Tour Champion?
From battling at the kitchen table with his dad to winning PT Lord of the Rings on the main stage,

Welcome Jake!
Went 8-8 with rakdos, which while not exciting was a solid result nonetheless. I want to give an absolutely massive shoutout to the PT staff and judges for making these events so damn fun, and a huge thanks to
@SanctumOfAll
for being an awesome team!

8-8 at the pt with domain. Deck was a solid choice for the event, and got some AMP’s to keep the train going. Hoping to be able to close in Amsterdam to lock quals next year and for Worlds. Thanks to
@UltimateGuard
for being the best!!
11-1 to Top 500 with
@SamuelHBlack
Enigmatic Incarnation, deck felt absurd in spite of the small sample size. I've thought about moving the Massacre Girl to the main bc most matches have been against aggro recently but it works great as is

@ArenaDecklists
Won the dream 9 player RCQ today with a pile originally from
@Aspiringspike

@BomattCourier
for making me a believer in Ethersworn Sphinx and for the recommendations on the sb.
@fireshoes
Had a great stream and managed to trophy with

Rakdos Mid! Thanks again for the raid

7-1 Day 1 of
#PTLOTR
. Huge thanks to
@SanctumOfAll
for being a fantastic team and to all my friends back home in Roanoke that helped too. Time to run it back tomorrow.
Won an rcq today, 4-0-1’d sealed with bw skithiryx and 39 other cards, 3-0 6-0’d the draft with this beauty. Got the Q ahead of final exams so that’s neat
@fireshoes
Qualified for my first PT with Rakdos going 10-3-1. Loved the MD Archfiends, they help a ton in the Mono W matchup even though I didn’t play against it. Huge thanks to
@JosephKarani56
for the SB guide and
@fireshoes
bc he’s the GOAT. Matchups below:
Sean’s one of the many slept on players in VA and easily one of the hardest working, and unlike me he can win even when he doesn’t have broken grief draws!
Won a Modern RCQ on Saturday, splitting in the finals with
@DrToilet_
. Was a really cool store, and this was my 75. Looking forward to playing in Denver! Thanking
@makememesnotwar
for the support, and the berating for misplays, couldn’t have done it without him.
Incredibly hyped that
@BomattCourier
and I both day 2’d with our build of rakdos. Put a fair amount of theory into it and happy with my 6-3 and Matt’s 7-2. Pic also courtesy of the doss goat
@fireshoes
Hit mythic with Mono Blue Control this month. List felt really solid against everything except rogues, which felt unredeemable. Tempted by the oriq is the truth

Have a really exciting Magic-related project coming out next week! Lets just say if you're somehow not already fans of

and
@NicoleTipple
you sure will be soon
Decided to avoid thxgiving conflict and instead get a clean 7-0 with boros. Please stop passing this many guidewings, that card is quite good. Really hyped for the open this weekend!
Trophy number one of LCI, deck felt light on traditional synergies for gb but rares were broken and soulcoil viper + landcyclers is nice for getting a pseudo nut draw. Format has been super fun so far, excited to spend way too much time drafting over thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving Trophy with Caves, deck was an absolute delight. Games went long, but with three wrath of gods and a bunch of lands that function as spells that was ideal. Glad I was able to check this one off the list after p1p1 and p1p2 cave ins.
Trophy n. 2. GB again, but much more self mill focused. Assembled the Grim Captain the one game I drew the card and it immediately drew the concession, Bringer was cracked if you set up the deck right. Other than rares, kincaller was great for making sure I stuck in the game.
Current gameplan for today is shop with
@claire_bear_d
and draft, 7-1 with 3 copies of glyph. Haven't drafted much blue but was very impressed with how easy it was to make my land drops and use all my mana with UW. Feeling good going into this weekend, hyped to draft for stakes!
