Lost a nailbiter G3 of the finals in the Standard Showcase, to UB again 🥲
Cauldron is crazy, really liked my list overall though.
Shoutout @domhrv.bsky.social for chatting about the deck/plans and @LavaridgeMTG (on Twitter) for keeping me sane with the 1am start time (help us poor Australians 🥲)

Lost in the finals of the Pioneer Challenge today, timed out with a lethal line available, tragic😥

Ended up in 3rd place of the Standard Showcase challenge overnight after going undefeated in the swiss playing super stock Cauldron, losing a super close set to UB in the semis.
This deck is not remotely okay lmao.

Made some content for Australian 7pt Highlander! My favourite format in Magic, and a deck that’s near and dear to me. Check it

5-0 + double ID, then won quarters to split top 4 of the Sunday 5k Modern today with this list -1 Elesh, 1- Sanctuary, +1 Gruul Turf, +1 Mycosynth Garden.
List felt fantastic, 5-0 vs Breach, 3-0 vs Energy, and 4-0 vs Eldrazi over the weekend, would happily play this 75 again.

6-2 for 20th place at the ANZ RC with my baby.
1-0 Energy vs Energy, 2-0 vs Eldrazi, and 3-0 Breach, but losses to Zoo and many, many maindeck Consign and Dress Down from Jeskai Control got me.
Norn was medium, not sure it’s worth the splash.
