Second rc invite locked up with vivi cauldron at labyrinth games in dc! Shoutout to the store being a great place and @kmcsleevesusa.bsky.social for their wonderful sleeves and the inestimable @autumnlilypad.bsky.social ‘s guide for making sure I wasn’t insane. Also a good test run before bmore!
I qualified for the Arena Championship with Vivi Cauldron!!
Loved my list and plans, huge shoutout to my testing partner Aska for putting so much work into the deck
This weekend I was undefeated in mirrors (7-0) and against Mono-Red (3-0)
Patreon guide coming out this week :)
This weekend's successful Arena Direct run deck :) Didn't play much because of Silksong being a very effective distraction lol, but was glad to win a couple booster boxes with a classic Golgari deck
Impossible to understate how much better the combat feels in Silksong than Hollow Knight. HK has patient, methodical combat (a la Dark Souls), whilst Silksong in contrast feels like Sekiro; combat actively wants you to be aggressive, mobile and using your entire moveset
Oh hell yeah! I want an Appa plushie so badly…
Oh this is *incredible* I love it
I am yeah! We should do that, sounds great :) idk if you have discord but my handle is rainithewitch
Watching Avatar the Last Airbender for the first time with a friend as “research” for the upcoming Magic set. Just finished season 1 and I’m amazed at how good it is?? Even watching it fresh at 33 years old it’s great
I love Sokka so much!! Appa and Uncle Iroh also wonderful :)
Yeah this is one thing I find curious about my local Lorcana scene. Weeklies in my city get like 6-10 people, yet Store Champs all get 20+ people almost regardless of where/when they're happening
It is deeply surreal seeing less than 700 people register for a Magic Spotlight, meanwhile the 2000+ tickets for the Lorcana DLC (a roughly equivalent event) I’m attending sold out in under 6 minutes…
Standard is flourishing
I'm amazed how quickly it has become one of my favourite things to spend time on, I never thought I would be taking up a second tcg!
Learning Lorcana is some of the most fun I've had recently, the game has a lot of depth to it, is fairly low variance, and is just a blast to play. I'm excited for the new set to release and for rotation to shake things up!
In the end I played 4 different Lorcana Set Champs with Blurple. Top 8'd all 4 of them after a combined 13-0-6 in swiss rounds :) Didn't manage to convert to a win, but a finals finish and 3 semifinals is still good considering I've been playing for only a couple months!
Riddler is so busted lol, at one point I got to warp it in so it could Bushwhack a 4/4
Oh no, I didn’t realise 😅 That should be a Flashfreeze I guess!
Won a 13 player Store Champs with Temur Otters! :) Riddler should probably be maindeck, card was crazy good for me all day
Runs 4 and 5 were another 1-2 and 5-2, but then run 6 got the second 7-1 and two more EOE play booster boxes! Very rare for me to play white cards in this sealed format but this deck was a nice one
Arena Direct update thread :) Went 1-2 and 5-2 with my first two pools, before getting the 7-1 and two EOE play booster boxes with this sick deck
My latest big update to my Modern Temur Eldrazi guide is now live, an updated list, explanations for why it is built that way, and an updated sideboard guide including a few new match-ups! Check it out if you're looking to cast some spaghetti monsters in Modern :)

My Magic and Lorcana testing partner @goldsammy.bsky.social is now on Bluesky, y'all should definitely go give her a follow :)
Went to a prerelease for the first time since Capenna last weekend to jam some 2HG with @fluffycattens.bsky.social! We got the 4-0 with her on Izzet and me on Mono-Black(???)! Literal first time I've ever made a mono-coloured deck in sealed lol, deck felt suuuper busted
Going to start uploading exclusive videos to my Patreon! This month there are five videos covering a Modern league of Temur Eldrazi played by me and my testing partner, part 1 is now live with the other videos releasing over the next few days!

A new article is now up on my Patreon, talking all about the bans in Standard, how much it hurts different existing decks, and what archetypes seem promising to me in this new format!

My first time ever playing an Arena Direct and I won a Final Fantasy Collectors Boostie Box :) Let's gooooo
I just posted an update to my Modern Temur Eldrazi guide over on my Patreon! I've been working hard on this deck alongside my teammate, and we both love where the list is at now, definitely worth a look if you are interested in the archetype

Drafted for the first time in months today with my partner because we’re both Final Fantasy fans, and had a blast! Highlight was this siiick 4 colour towns deck that went 7-1, having two different 8 mana “can’t lose” mythics was fun :)
Want to play Izzet Prowess in Standard? I have updated my deck and sideboard guide over on my Patreon, along with a discussion of the recent Regional Championship results and Izzet decklists!
