Great weekend of magic
Went 3-1 at pauper FNM. Played mono red madness, beat gardens, ponza, and elves lost to pestilence. Meta was not snake friendly happy I put delver away for the time being.
Top 8’d Sunday‘a RCQ placed 6th but the store cut to top 4. 3-2 record, excited for bans tomorrow.

3-1 at FNM into 7th place at the NRG pauper 1k. Happy to break delver back out for some big tournaments but will be shaking things up soon.
Azure Fleet Admiral was awesome in the side. Local store had 6/8 in top 8 and my two teammates split finals, was a great day.

Won FNM last night to earn a free invite to the NRG pauper 1k in two weeks. It was a battle of all the blue mages but our silly snakes got there.
Delver feels like one of the most powerful things you can do in the format.

As we cycle through decks so quickly through all the new standard sets I think supporting pioneer as a space for players to keep their old standard decks but upgrade them with stronger tools is really important

Just finished the fifth stormlight archive book. Was my least favorite of the five but really enjoyed the series overall.
Excited to read the next era and clean up the remaining Cosmere stories I have outstanding.

2-2 with gruul monsters think I’m retiring the deck going to switch back to madness for spooky season. Happy to have a fun deck built but without card draw feels very feast or famine.

Beat hades 2 yesterday. Didn’t mind the ending thought and I thought the gameplay was so fun. Game of the year race is going to be so tight this year.

2-1 for both of us at the @halfacrebeer.bsky.social / dice dojo prerelease. This was probably the most fun I’ve had plying magic in a while!
As a known Aetherdrift defender, maybe take everything I have to say with a grain of salt but I truly believe Spider-Man sealed is a great format.

2 decks special to go 2-1 in prerelease number 2. Grixis villains was the main deck but I put the Naya one out in game 3 of round 1 and game 2 of round 2. Morlun was the MVP, survived a behold the sinister six in round 3.

Played gruul monsters in pauper last night. Rough debut for the deck went 1-3 losing to mono red madness twice and lost a close gain to my brother on mono u fairies. Beat Dimir terror and won a practice match against mono u terror so I’m going to keep tinkering with the deck.

Tomorrow we gather for LagerTown at the brewery. Alongside limited steins and stickers, this year’s commemorative tee awaits – cream print on cypress, classic fit with structured shoulders and a ribbed neck. Soft yet durable, made to last through Oktoberfest for many years to come.

I know it’s not everyone’s favorite but I really enjoy Aetherdrift limited. Always happy when it comes up in the quick draft rotation.

2-1 in standard with Boros mice losing to esper pixie in the finals and then 3-0 in Bloomburrow draft with Izzet otters. Pack one pick one was Alaina the divergent storm and it put in work. Played against Gruul raccoons, Orvoz bats, and Selesnya rabbits.
