Just me, the highest placed Esper blink list losing to prowess twice and beating affinity 3 times. Magic do be that way sometimes. My deck was even modified to be better against prowess too.

Best goryos round 14. Mind control them to pitch grisel then untap and eat it with emperor. They couldn’t find interaction before my next turn.

Lost to prowess with a probably punt in game 3 but was still very hard even if I played it right because I was on mull to 5.

Beat affinity again. Same solitude into bowmasters line from last match. Game 2 he realized as soon as he said keep he goofed because he only had saga as mana with kappa emissary 0 drops. Seized kappa, he untapped an drew opal and played his whole hand. I wrathed and he scooped.

Got affinity in 3. Stole game one off a great seize. Thought I had game 2 locked and he ripped triple kappa off the top. Game 3 I solituded tur one emissary leaving him with token opal bauble. Untap main phase bowman on token. His hand was all cantrips. Turn 3 clarion and it was over.

8-2. Just slaughtered frog. Very timely seizes both games let me play exactly how I wanted.

He had rebuke in hand. That wrath getting countered was instant loss. He untapped and warps emissary putting kappa to 8 which is why I was terrified of shocking because it put me to 9. I had solitude to kappa and that left his board at just 1 land. Just bopped him with clarion from there.

Took down affinity to end the day 7-2! They were nail biters. Wrecked game 1. I went seize into wop wop game 2 and he was on 1 basic and couldn’t draw out of it. Then game 3 turn two high noon slowed him to a crawl and I learned after I won because I shocked at a very hard time to wrath with 3 up.

Lost round 8 to prowess. I took good hands both game and they had slow hands with turn 2 Cori no trigger. But the deck just sent me air after opener. Never saw an overlord. Riddler rotting in my hand probably killed me game 1.

Round 7 Titan again. Game 2 got to wisp end step ephem wisp to knock them down to 3 mana for pact. Game 3 I slapped ashiok down and watched the light drain from their eyes.

Got titan round 6. Game two I felt bad because I missed an interaction that needed a judge call and they made a decision on it that probably lost them the game. They upkeep surveiled lotus field to yard then cast Titan with exact mana using dryad arbor. Problem is I had clarion out.

Picked up my first loss against through the breach eldrazi. Just an atrocious matchup for me. Need to slow down because I also tried to use Teferi with clarion out because I felt the game was over.

Took down zoo playing phelia riddler. Player I’ve been running into a lot and we both are sure we’ve met before. We had a great fun match and chatted a good bit after.

JJ @jjmoffitt.net · 2d

Got Jeskai blink in 2. He took a triple rag hand game 2 and I took one hit off the third and otherwise killed all of them. Drew triple overlord. Solitudes every riddler before the trigger except the last one when I had bowmasters out.

JJ @jjmoffitt.net · 2d

Got titan in both post board games round 2. Was one turn slow on the draw. Clarion and ashiok locked games 2 and 3.

My round 1 opponent just wanted the promo and instantly dropped. We take those. He was on a spicy living end build with goblin dark dwellers.

My final list for the RC. Feeling pretty good on my choices right now even if a few of them are against the stock builds. May the matchup gods be in my favor.

Broooo. That’s huge.

That’s a lot less than I expected so it’s not impacting the numbers in that significant a way. Thanks!

Any chance you could try and split Esper Blink into Solitude and Subtlety variants? They're practically different decks most of the time. Although dingo is complicating it a bit.
