I'm your pioneer MOCS champion 🔥 So happy to finally qualify for the PT AND play in the mocs 😍 A special thanks to Claudioh, who created the archetype and gave me some very helpful coaching 😇 And thanks to the grindstone,I could not have done it without you guys 😎 @fireshoes.bsky.social

RC Antwerp didn't go my way unfortunately🥲 I put a lot of time and energy to prepare this event working with La Forge (french grinders) and grindstone (my team) 🤝 I'm trusting the process, I've improved a lot as a player and a testing partner. I know that it's going to pay off at some point!

Nathan Goldberg is your Magic Regional Champion at #SCGVEGAS! 🏆 Nathan showcased the incredible power of Amulet Titan all weekend! 🌳 See you at Worlds! 💪

Magic Online is looking for feedback regarding the Duel Commander format, as there has recently been a split in the format committee. There is a thread in the MTGO forums here you can upvote/comment on (same login as MTGO). #mtg #mtgDC forums.mtgo.com/index.php?th...

I'm the back-to-back Boa Finals champion 🐍 I played Lurrus Cycling for constructed (set roulette) and a nice version of boros go-wide in atla limited! Avatar has been a really fun set so far Thanks again to my friend @elgranboa.bsky.social and his sponsor Majestik Games 🤝 Next stop, RC Antwerp 🇧🇪

Another challenge top 8 with uwu chant ! Super smooth run, I mostly faced good matchup and didn't had to work hard 😇 128 players today, I missed big challenges! 2-1 Jeskai Blink 2-0 Storm 2-0 Amulet 2-0 affinity 2-0 Jeskai Blink 0-2 Energy 2-0 Amulet 1-2 Simic Ritual @fireshoes.bsky.social

Congratulations to Alexey Paulot, champion of Magic Spotlight: Spider-Man! 🕸️🇫🇷 After showcasing the power of Agatha’s Soul Cauldron with a 9th-place finish at Worlds 2023, he’s now claimed the Infinity Gauntlet trophy with his signature artifact! 🏆

Split the finals of todays challenge with UwU after finishing 9th yesterday 😎 If you told me ater the release of MH3 that Azorius Control would be my frontrunner for a RC in 2025, I wouldn't have believed you lol @fireshoes.bsky.social

Please stop me from submitting UwU control at the RC 🥲 I'm really trying hard to be in my good deck era but this deck just speaks to me

Hey Bluesky (that's when you'd like to be on Twitter I guess), in case there are still some unused Vivi Ornitier in the world, I'm missing three of them for Spotlight Series Liverpool this week-end!

9th in the legacy showcase with Turbo Lands designed by Sprouts 🫡 I decided not to play my trustworthy forge, because I believed that the field would be too prepared after EW ! I skipped yesterday super qualifier and spent most of my day hiking, I felt fresh and sharp for todays tournament 😎

I really like watching my games against streamers, it's always a good learning experience! But chatters really need to chill with the stream sniping accusations. Being called a cheater because you took the correct line is really not a something I appreciate. It's one of my biggest mtg pet peeve 😅

Top 8 in the saturday morning challenge with an old favorite 🫡🌩️ The metagame is shifting fast after the first US RC. Storm has a pretty solid matchup spread against the top decks but really suffers from being inconsistent The bauble tech is serviceable, although I'm not sure about the numbers!

Fin du travail pour moi sur le tilt, j'espère que la vidéo vous plaira (et que vous ne tilterez plus jamais) youtu.be/yTP4kWY9w24

Split finals of Pioneer Showcase Challenge today playing my beloved Vivi :3 Haven't changed main deck in a while, messed with sideboard and feel like it was largely positive changes Excited to be one of 64 people to play Pioneer for a PT invite in 2025 come December LOL @fireshoes.bsky.social

I won the pioneer showcase with Izzet Phoenix 🐦🐦🐦🐦 I expected to go 0-1 drop, but my tournament went smoothly 🫡 Thanks to O_Danielakos for the clean decklist! And congrats to @holdtheelle.bsky.social who split the finals with me in the steel-cutter mirror match🤝 @fireshoes.bsky.social

This is Brian Merichiko (left) and Dave Crowley (right). Dave misplaced his Vintage deck filled with cards like Black Lotus at a local restaurant. Brian, an employee there, found the deck and somehow tracked Dave down at the EW and got him his deck back. What an amazing and touching story!

7-2 in the legacy showcase challenge with a vintage deck ! I'm focused on modern these days, so I just netdecked a very stock list. This archetype has a very strong proactive gameplan and is really not easy to attack (I beat every null rods today). Losses were to Doomsday and Mississipi River!

One month and a half before the european RC, I'm once again asking myself if it's too late to learn amulet titan 🐒

I split the finals of the last important event of the season to lock 1st place 🫡 The tournament structure was Duel Commander + EoE draft: - In DC: Thrasios control, a new build created by Jules Lestienne - In draft: UW flyers with a double spell subtheme My prize was a revised Underground Sea 🤑

Coucou, on enregistre le 15ème épisode du Jour Deux avec Thomas Mechin. On va beaucoup parler du PT en modern ! www.twitch.tv/mechinlamach...

Top 16 in Vintage Super Qualifier! Ripped @xenowan.bsky.social 's list (minus a null rod cause my rental limit is 600 XD) Decks sweet, vintage is sweet, and now I'm back to move prep LOL

Top 16 in the vintage championship with Dimir😼 Thanks to team Grindstone for working with me on that list! And especially to @univercemtg.bsky.social who found some great techs 🤝 I beat 6 Lurrus decks (3 Mirror, 2 PO, 1 breach) and lost to Dredge and a Tinker brew @fireshoes.bsky.social

Vintage token acquired thanks to the power of clown car 🤡🚗 I only get to play the format a few times a year, but it's always fun! The shell felt promising, but the list is still very rough (especially the SB) and needs tuning. I liked the Nettlecyst "aggro" pivot @fireshoes.bsky.social

One of my mtg-related ggoal for 2025 was to play more paper events and try to become a better "paper player". I enjoyed the process and I think I did a good job! I'm currently seating at #1 in the EUL national ranking for France and should get an invite for the final event 🫡

Modern is an incredible format, currently enjoying a metagame full of diversity. My overview of the winning decks and metas from 10 Modern Pro Tours offers an insightful historical perspective. www.magic.gg/news/metagam...

a dude at my local ren faire absolutely crushed with this prodigal sorcerer cosplay. guy looks like he could really ping the shit out of you. 🪄

This weekend, I qualified for Turin playing a slightly innovative build of Belcher that I've been working on with Nick Cosgrove 🫡 With the metagame being so combo-centric, Flare is a bit worse while FoN gets better. Tamiyo and Stock Up gives you enough card advantage to support 7 pitch spells!

Trophy with Battlecrier 🏆 If your goal is to maximize winrate, just play Vivi. But this is a good contender if your goal is to maximize fun 🫡 Kudos to Wang Haotian for designing this list. It definitely took me a few games to understand the deckbuilding decisions. It's better than the stock build

I got my second Regional Championship invite of the weekend with Pinger Red after going 5-1 in the Super Sunday RCQ! I went 10-2 against Vivi decks for the weekend. Changed a few things from Friday's 5-0 deck and also got my Lizards signed! #mtg melee.gg/Decklist/Vie...

Modern challenge top 4 with my current obsession 🦖 Undefeated in swiss, lost to Belcher in the semis! I've been trying a lot of different sideboard config to beat blue decks (Murktide, Rakshasa's Bargain, stock up). W splash for Teferi felt like a solid option today 🫡 @fireshoes.bsky.social

Me in a MTG match worse 1000s of dollars vs Me in an job interview

Challenge top 8 with Neobubu 🦖 The play patterns of this deck are obnoxious, but it's in a good spot right now (solid against both Phelia and NRJ). The mandrill tech was nice, it lets you play low-resource games and mulligan smoother 🐒 Thanks to team Grindstone for the build 🤝🪨

evergreen mood:

I've received some objects of great Power

Can't stop, won't stop ! Modern challenge top 4 with Grixis Prowess 🔪 I really like this deck in the current metagame! It's solid against Phelia and Energy, while still having game against more fringe decks thanks to fast clock and sideboard thoughtseize 🫡 @fireshoes.bsky.social

Challenge top 4 with forge. Copied @holdtheelle.bsky.social build (-1 needle +1 candelabra) Deck is still doing something very powerful (last time I tried it was with bauble) and is solid against reanimator ! Great results recently, hopefully I can also do well in LCQ :) @fireshoes.bsky.social

Standard challenge final with Izzet Cauldron ! This deck is both incredibly strong and very demanding. I feel like I could have played a lot tighter basically every round 😅 Thanks to my friends from the GrindStone for the decklist, especially Univerce 🤝 @fireshoes.bsky.social

Challenge top 4 with Grixis Reanimator ! This deck has been doing well in the hands of other players, so it catched my attention. The shell felt powerful, but the sideboard was mediocre. This deck is very good at exploiting the lack of GY hate, altough I'm still not sure if it's better than Goryo!

Back-to-back challenge top 8 with Prowess (Izzet and Grixis) 🔪 The Grixis list felt slightly better overall. The main issue with the archetype is that it tends to get less functional after sideboarding. TS is a lot better than spell pierce in that regard ! @fireshoes.bsky.social

Another solid challenge run with Simic bad cards today 🐍👁️ Undefeated in swiss, then I lost in semis to @keps94.bsky.social on broodscale. Deck is still impressive and should probably be taken more seriously !

9th in today's challenge with Simic "bad cards" ! Despite being slightly clunky, this deck is doing something quite powerful. I was skeptical at first, but I've been doing surprisingly well (68% WR across 5 challenges). It's also very fun, so I'd definitely recommend it 👁️! @fireshoes.bsky.social

Long day at the office today, double queue is exhausting 🫡 - 7-2 in the pauper super qualifier with stock monoU terror 🐲 - Top 8 in the modern challenge with an intriguing simic birthing ritual pile 🌶️ @fireshoes.bsky.social

Been trying to do more writing/reflection this year. Here's a piece on PT Final Fantasy: medium.com/@tangrams/lo...

I'm back to Belcher after a month of mostly playing storm in paper events! Now that prowess is a lot less popular, I believe that this deck is probably the best choice (at least on mtgo). Since I picked the deck back 🫡: * 3 gold trophies across 6 leagues * A modern challenge final * 7-1 in paper

I made a mistake in my last one! Ken and Ian were swapped into the wrong spot, but I’ve fixed it now! GO WATCH THE PRO TOUR ITS LIVE RIGHT NOW [ #mhabart #dailydrawing #PTFinalFantasy #MTGxFINALFANTASY #MTGAmbassador ]

Duel Commander Trial victory with 5c Ooops (7-1) 🏳️‍🌈 The Wandering Minstrel is a much better commander than Esika, it's a solid upgrade ! I don't really have any important tournaments in the coming weeks, so I'm just trying to enjoy magic 🥰 @fireshoes.bsky.social

Hello, just finished writing a big Modern Prowess guide. It's mainly aimed at beginners, but it also contains some more advanced tips and thoughts. Primer: moxfield.com/decks/doI_lo... Deck list: moxfield.com/decks/doI_lo... @fireshoes.bsky.social

Top 8 in the modern french cup with Gruul Storm 🌩️ I barely made it to day 2 after a tough start, then kept winning to lock in the top 8 🫡 I had a great time hanging with my friends and the french modern community 🥰 @fireshoes.bsky.social

One bullet was enough ! I won a big RCQ in Paris today with Gruul Storm 🌩️ Storm is definitely not as good as it used to be, but I was expecting a lot of energy/prowess. 2-1 GB "Rock" 1-2 URb prowess 2-0 zoo 2-1 energy 2-0 samwise ID 2-0 Yawgmoth 2-0 energy 2-0 titan @fireshoes.bsky.social
