These are the decks I used to Top 4 Vintage Champs and Top 32 Legacy Champs at Eternal Weekend NA

Vintage: BUG Lurrus
Legacy: UB Reanimator

Keep your eyes peeled for a video where I dive deep on these decks, how to approach expected matchups, and provide free sideboard guides

Top 4 in Vintage and Top 32 in Legacy! 💥

What an incredible weekend (and the results aren’t half bad either)

It felt wrong to have won and top 4’d consecutive Vintage Champs events without owning one of these, so I decided to rectify that issue 🪷

I can’t risk people getting the impression I care about football

Maybe I should wear a hat with my message

Maxtortion @maxtortion.bsky.social · 9d

At the risk of being controversial, I really like the new Taylor Swift album 🤷‍♂️
