I have written a 10.000 words in-depth guide for Sacrifice in Pioneer after going 27-3 with it in my last 30 matches.
It covers all the important concepts to pilot this deck, you can find it on my Patreon:
In 2018 a shy 13-year-old kid had his mom ask his favorite Magic the Gathering Pro Player
@Mengu09
if he could play vs the kid at a meet&greet the Friday of a Grand Prix. Almost 6 years later they're prepairing together for the Pro Tour at his favorite Pro Player's house
Thanks
@terlollo15
for traveling 4 hours of train for a weekend of testing for the PT. He’s staying at my house for three days to do some face2face Pioneer testing. The boomer in me can’t handle the online testing of this format. 😅

At my first microeconomics lecture at Uni, the professor brought up "Magic the Gathering cards trading" as an example of a market....should I mention that I just made Top 8 at Worlds? 🗿
SIDEBOARD GUIDE
Here it is a free sideboard guide me and my teammate developed for the RG Vehicles list I played to a 32nd place finish at the PT. Playing 4 copies of Thrun has been the real deal

Just got back home in Italy after 10 intense days of MTG, what can I say… this past week has happened what I’ve always dreamt of since I started playing Magic 7 years ago. I still have to realise it, to me it still sounds mind blowing. 1/6

#PTKarlov
, after the poor draft performance I won 4 Pioneer rounds in a row, losing the last one to miss out on top32. Ready to come back stronger in Seattle 💪
Finished 8-6-2 at
#PTThunder
, 2-1ed the draft in day2 (5-1 total) and Esper Midrange definitely underperformed this weekend with an extremely disappointing 3-5-2 score… looking forward to breaking the modern meta for PT Modern Horizons 3 in Amsterdam
Team Worldly Counsel picture at its full capacity for PT Seattle! 🥳 I had a great time testing as always and I look forward to a weekend of emotions!

#MTGWorlds
day1! Enough to make it to day2! 2-1 in the draft with this pretty medium Boros splashing Green. Esper Mid didn’t disappoint in the constructed rounds. Thanks
@veve_official
for the support.
Tomorrow it’s time to shine 😎
10-5 at Legacy European Championship in Sofia with Spirits, good enough for 40th place. Hopefully a PT invite gets passed down 🤞

in the span of a few hours with the same decklist. Back to back to back trophies! What's the world record for consecutive trophies in Constructed Leagues? My guess is it's around 10, let's go for it 👀

Next year I plan to keep going, playing at the highest stage of competitive Magic is what I always wished for and now that I’m there I want to remain for as long as I can, Top8ing Worlds is just the beginning. Magic is awesome! 6/6

: Lorenzoooo 🔥😎 The young prodigy himself, Lorenzo has been placing well in tournaments since he was a (younger) kid! While quite goofy 90% of the time, Lorenzo locks in like no other when it's game time. Fun fact: "In the morning of MTG tournaments I do push-ups. 🗿"
COACHING ANNOUNCEMENT
Exciting news! I'm now offering coaching sessions for MTG players looking to take their skills to the next level
DM if interested ✉️
And also today I'm going to top8 an MTGO event tomorrow! Played
@Mengu09
's Gruul Prowess, the deck felt pretty strong every time I had a 1 mana creature on turn1
While streaming the Play-in Arena stopped working, I was 4-0 in it and the game lost me two games because it didn't work. I'm sorry for who was watching the stream and I hope that Wizards fixes this, I would have definitely won one of the two game since I was extremely ahead 1/2
Good luck to everyone playing at the RC in Naples, I won’t be attending because of a uni exam… ngl, all these nice pizza photos are making me feel some FOMO! 🍕 🤌
A big shoutout also to our helpers from home, whose help has been fundamental!

Also big thanks to the
@CamioncioTeam
guys and to all the people that were rooting from home, all the messages made me even more motivated to do well! 4/6
I played Abzan DINO Greasefang on stream at the Pioneer Showcase Challenge. The deck performed well, I’m now out of top8 contention at 3-2; Regisaur is super strong
After I vaguely considered going, I won’t be at RC Ghent.
I wish good luck to everyone playing the event! With ~950 players fighting for 24 PT invites it’s going to be a very tough tournament
First time I play Pioneer after the bans, easy 5-0 with
@RyanNormandin
Rakdos Tree Combo list!
The deck felt nice to play, it combines RB Mid tools with a pretty consistent combo finish

I returned to Magic in July 2022 after a one-year break because during Covid I couldn’t compete as an under18 and after a few solid results I managed to come where I am right now. 2/6
3-3ed the Pioneer Showcase Qualifier with Mardu Vehicles after going 9-1 in leagues. Deck felt favored vs Midrange mirrors, but slightly unfavored vs UR Phoenix

Easy 5-0 in today last chance qualifier for the Season Final with my trusty RB Sac <3

Send good vibes for tomorrow!!
Unfortunately the wifi crashed, which made the stream stop. I managed to connect back into the game to get this sweet final lethal line.
Rakdos Sac never disappoints
