Just published my complete guide for KappAffinity in Modern! I've gotten two trophies🏆in the last week, and had a lot of success even in the face of Wrath of the Skies.

This build feels special.

Thank you for all the new followers & the views on my latest recap video!

Really exciting to see it get as many views in 24 hrs as my last one has since being posted in total!

I'll be doing a Spotlight recap next week, plus I might have a surprise Interview video soon 👀

And then the Top 10 WIN% decks, regardless of sample size + the H2H Matrix for the Top **11** Presence decks (two were tied for 10th so I'm doing both)

On my phone in bed so poor quality - but here's a sneak peak at the NM WIN%

1 1

OptimusTom @optimustom.bsky.social · 4d

Titan had the 2nd highest WIN% overall for decks with 6+ copies at the event (Simic Birthing Ritual was higher at 5 copies)

Titan had an absurd WIN% (64%+ iirc) at the PT in the hands of experts. In the hands of RC Players, it has similar WIN% to Standard Vivi Cutter at its height.

This includes mirrors, I have the non mirror win rates for every deck I'll post on Reddit when I finish my video recap/triple check the data!

Unfortunately I have to be up for work in 6 hours 😅

Currently on the road to the RCQ, convinced some friends to join!

Won't be live covering Houston this weekend, but the recap will be out like normal!

OptimusTom @optimustom.bsky.social · 6d

RCQ I was going to tomorrow at an LGS that doesn't usually run 60 card events got cancelled for poor attendance numbers.

So I drive almost 2 hours to play a different one solo, or do I do something else like record a new video or do the Pioneer Challenge?

To paint the question in the light that negative content is either A) not the norm or 2) hurting more than anything else is super sketchy/disingenuous though.

Negative content does get clicks, but that should be a factor for all Sets already. This seems like passing the buck into the community.
