Good points here. Mono Red rising quickly and many tournaments don't feature the homogenized Vivi metagame we see on coverage. I often see sentiment at the LGS level about being tired of the best deck without having ever played against it.

Split top 4 of RCQ with Dimir. Riddler was a cool transformational sideboard plan I came up with later in the week when red decks have a bunch of removal for small creatures. Lost top 4 when we played it.

Just reiterating that Standard rotation *in paper* occurred with the Edge of Eternities prerelease yesterday. Be extremely careful of trusting sites that display legality, because they may be set for online rotation, which happens on Tuesday for Arena and MTGO. 😅

Going to draw into top 8 of the rcq. Coming off three top 4s in a row. Will see how far psychic frog carries me this time. Changed 1-2 cards from my sideboard guide. Continues to impress.

Long ago sets were released infrequently enough where spoilers were fun and most people weren't good at evaluating them. Bob-adjacent cards got the people going.

Into top 4 of row rcq with the frogtide deck I wrote about. Bear two energy and esper ketramos. Three strong pilots so far and I got to make some sweet plays each round.
