Interesting trophy 🏆 deck in #mtgECL; Kithkin/Elves mashup that was good at making a wide board and beating down. Evershrike’s Gift made a difference, and Assert Perfection is green’s best common. Kithkeeper ended ~1/2 the games.

Had fun with a U/R Elementals deck in #mtgECL draft. Double Twinflame, Gathering Stone, Ashling…very grindy as needed in these games! 🏆 Lost to 2 banger versions of Merfolk & Elves. Really liking this format!

First draft of #mtgECL went swimmingly! The crazy part is, this is nowhere near the best merfolk deck… Good high rarity cards, flood the board plus fliers and *just* enough interaction took home the 7-0 🏆

Not what I would call the best #mtgFIN deck, but removal suite and some lucky draws/good gameplay got me there for the 7-2 🏆 Splash for Fire Magic *maybe* a mistake? It did come in handy a couple times 🤷

P1P1 Bant Aang & never looked back! Bo1 shuffler did me right & a lot of other powerful cards helped out. Esp. liked Water Tribe getting both Aangs or Earth King. 2-3 concessions on the way to a nice 7-2 🏆

Quick draft! One of my favorite formats, and a great example of the best archetype (IMO): Temur Dragons with some Globes and Forecasters. Lost a couple to better decks, but able to hang to the late game against most opp.s

Confident that I do not understand this format at all! Took a mid-powered deck, in the worst color pair, to a 7-1 🏆 in #mtgEOE quick draft. I did have some good cards, and JUST enough interaction to make it work. A bit of go-wide helped to run over opps. Fun deck to play!

Post-podcast syndrome kicking in again with this U/B tempo deck 🏆featuring Elegy Acolyte and Thrumming Hivepool, a Galeblade and 3 (!) Virus Beetles. Shoutout to

Took some advice from @lordsoflimited.bsky.social and tried some Bo3 in #mtgEOE , wouldn’t you know it: 3-0 🏆 right off the bat! Nice little U/B deck with Tarpit.

Taking a break from 0-3’ing #mtgEOE drafts to trophy in Quick Draft ( #mtgTDM ), my one true love lol.

R/W aggro splashing black got the job done!

U/W skies seems to be the only deck I can trophy with! Nothing too amazing, but I did get multiple late Auracytes, so that’s always nice.

I have been struggling! with this limited format…here’s the only 🏆deck so far: U/W artifacts/aggro. Classic 16-land build, never actually played Tidus in a game! Learned nothing about succeeding in the format lol

Run it back! Another traditional Sealed trophy in #FIN : Grixis spells. Plenty of removal and *enough* creatures. B/R mage theme was a little light, but had some good blue spells to bolster and enough pingers hanging around to get the job done! 🏆

Can't remember when I last got a Sealed trophy! Interesting deck, some G/W beatdown/good stuff with a light Chocobo package plus some equipment! Jenova was the MVP for me. This #FIN set looks super interesting so far! 🏆

Guess I found my format?? 3rd 🏆 in 5 #LCI Quick drafts - Early drops and fliers seem to be key. 2 “Discover” caves in most decks have been good mana sinks. Low curve, hand disruption, *just* enough removal, and “rectangle theory” got the job done!

Never saw this one coming! B/R descend aggro in #LCI quickdraft. Low curve, hand disruption, and when I couldn’t win quick, I had fliers and drain effects for extra damage. Just enough removal and a couple of rares made for a very enjoyable 7-1 🏆

Had a lot of fun w/this throwback #LCI 🏆 deck in quick draft! Get on board early, plenty of removal, and use graveyard for synergies. Could plow over ppl early and also a great late game. Green has been strong overall.

Had a blast with this Jeskai tempo deck. Quick 7-1 🏆, only loss was to Elspeth. The deck was sweet and very resilient. In the words of @haumph.bsky.social , “This deck draws so many cards!”

Double-spelling my way to a fast 7-2 🏆 in #TDM
First pick Cori Steel Cutter & never looked back! Felt good after flaming out Day One of the Arena Open…

Trophied with a solid B/G deck, splashing U for the serpent. I never had much luck with the counters deck before now, but it did seem to work well! Coordinated Charge ("Travel Prep.s at home") factored in most games.
7-0 🏆 in #TDM quick draft.
