MTG - pauper, standard, pioneer.
Fan of Loot
3-1 at FNM into 7th place at the NRG pauper 1k. Happy to break delver back out for some big tournaments but will be shaking things up soon.

Azure Fleet Admiral was awesome in the side. Local store had 6/8 in top 8 and my two teammates split finals, was a great day.

3-2 at Evanston games RCQ today using mono red to get 9th and barely miss top 8. Deck ran great just lost all the dice rolls and had a few tough mulligans. Excited to try again soon. Loot is tired.

Been loving @ryanbrowne.bsky.social’s Eight Billion Genies while drinking the @halfacrebeer.bsky.social tie in beer. Just finished book five excited to see how it ends!

2-1 for both of us at the @halfacrebeer.bsky.social / dice dojo prerelease. This was probably the most fun I’ve had plying magic in a while!

As a known Aetherdrift defender, maybe take everything I have to say with a grain of salt but I truly believe Spider-Man sealed is a great format.

Fun little Spider-Man sealed games to get ready for the last prerelease at @halfacrebeer.bsky.social today!

Pulled a soul stone from these 12 packs too! Norman Osborn was busted!

2 decks special to go 2-1 in prerelease number 2. Grixis villains was the main deck but I put the Naya one out in game 3 of round 1 and game 2 of round 2. Morlun was the MVP, survived a behold the sinister six in round 3.

Edge of eternities quick draft trophy. Simic is a lot of fun, enjoying playing this color combo more and more across formats.

Top 8’d my first RCQ with @stanley2099.bsky.social’s Boros Swiss Army Mice. Lost in quarters to my round 3 Vivi opponent.

I know it’s not everyone’s favorite but I really enjoy Aetherdrift limited. Always happy when it comes up in the quick draft rotation.
September 1, 2025 at 5:15 PM
2-1 in standard with Boros mice losing to esper pixie in the finals and then 3-0 in Bloomburrow draft with Izzet otters. Pack one pick one was Alaina the divergent storm and it put in work. Played against Gruul raccoons, Orvoz bats, and Selesnya rabbits.

Fun weekend of magic! Went 2-2 in pauper, played some final fantasy sealed with my brother, and then got a 7-1 aetherdrift quick draft! Hoping to play some standard tomorrow.

NRG Lansing was a ton of fun! Had a great time playing in the pauper tournament, an RECQ, and team trios. Good teammates, good big tournament experience, and some good games of magic!
August 26, 2025 at 7:51 PM
Repping standard for NRG trios team main event today! Let’s go aggro!
August 24, 2025 at 1:07 PM
Standard RCQ next. Won the first ground against 4c mystical teachings control!
August 23, 2025 at 7:47 PM
NRG Lansing day one, Pauper is up first!
August 23, 2025 at 3:04 PM
Loot’s first hotel! NRG pauper in Michigan tomorrow team trios main event on Sunday!

After a 4-3, 6-3, 3-3, and 1-3 I finally got there with golgari ramp. Green feels super busted in edge of eternities, not my favorite limited format but I’m having some fun with it!
August 14, 2025 at 11:16 PM
Heart breaking 6-3 but this is the coolest Tarkir deck I’ve ever built.

Lost to two other Temur decks and then fell to an Abzan aggro deck that played like 6 removal spells right before I stabilized.

Magic has been real fun lately.

Pauper community been going strong, Edge of Eternities pre release was great (forgot to take picture of deck my but we went 3-1 with Mardu, devastating onslaught single handedly won me 4 games), and I’ve been enjoying losing to my brother in sealed!

4-0 with pioneer RDW. Some tough mull choices but it ran pretty smooth after that.

Play with fire > burst lightning scry feels way more impactful than another late game mama sink.

R3 Boros artifact burn ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
R4 Mono white control ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

2-1 at pioneer with stock Izzet Phoenix + cutter. Deck feels real strong but after the bans I’m going to pick up the few missing pieces to try RDW in pioneer.

Traded for a cool Loot card afterwards!

4-0 at FNM pauper, Blue mage summer continues! Gut shot ended up being an MVP card in sideboard.

Pauper community has been going real strong lately!

Got there with another FF quick draft. Azorious beats ended up getting the job done. Buster sword over performed, Titus under performed. The evasion from flying is huge in this format. Punted in the last game to barely miss the 7-0. Loving this limited format.
