211 Players in Santiago for the RC! Here's the quick clean up of archetypes for Metagame Breakdown & Win Rates across the Swiss Rounds of Play! (Some players named things "Grixis Demons" but is Izzet Lessons, etc) #MagicTheGathering @fireshoes.bsky.social @playmagic.com @saffronolive.bsky.social

My dad @adamfischer71.bsky.social and I BOTH made the finals of a Standard @starcitygames.bsky.social @scgcon.bsky.social RCQ at Alesmith sponsored by Tabletop Tavern and I won! First Q of the season down! See picture of decklist (which we were both playing) below! @fireshoes.bsky.social

It was great hanging out with @thiefofcrowns.bsky.social throughout the weekend at @starcitygames.bsky.social @scgcon.bsky.social #SCGBALTIMORE #SpotlightSpiderMan including the ending ride to the airport (thanks)!

Great work as always from @optimustom.bsky.social !

I can’t believe that Sadie becomes an adult today! I am so proud of the amazing young woman she has become. It was so great meeting her & some new friends of hers at Chapman for breakfast this morning. Also how fitting that on the way up I saw a “Sadie Rose” truck…

I did some analysis of the recent @magic.wizards.com Standard meta & things have really shifted - not a huge sample, but looks like Mono-R Aggro is unseating Izzet Cauldron, Dimir Midrange is rising, & Mono-G Aggro has come up @optimustom.bsky.social @azoriusi.bsky.social @fireshoes.bsky.social

First day of 10th grade for @danafischermtg.bsky.social and her new green hair!

My dad @adamfischer71.bsky.social won the entire #GenCon2025 @magic.wizards.com Championship! And he gives some credit for his win to the recent Magic Camp! I just posted the latest video where we discuss details of the camp’s origins, w/ more videos to come! ➡️ youtu.be/9iIGQ5XAIag

About 1 year ago today, I won an RCQ at Gen Con on the very first day of the convention and the whole @scgcon.bsky.social @starcitygames.bsky.social RCQ season and today my dad @adamfischer71.bsky.social did the exact same thing in #MTGEternities Limited at #GenCon2025 . How cool!

Camp is underway! So excited to be holding this after all the months of planning and how much @danafischermtg.bsky.social has been looking forward to it.

And here are the image recaps! Added the usual ones from earlier as well! (fixed) GL everyone on Day 2! @playmagic.com @scgcon.bsky.social @fireshoes.bsky.social #MagicTheGathering #MTG

Great real-time info! There looks to be a big difference between the mono-red representation here vs the metagame stats reported earlier elsewhere - this seems to make more sense for prevalence of mono-red.

More data from the events this past weekend for the new Standard with #MTGTarkir . Now incl. Day 2 of #RCBologna along with results of the 600-player Open (with archetypes refined to be consistent) & stats combined for all! @fireshoes.bsky.social @optimustom.bsky.social @azoriusi.bsky.social

Also got a look at the Head to head between the Top 10 Presence decks at #RCBologna ! Wanna beat Prowess? So far, try some Eyeballs & Orzhov spells! Need to poke some eyeballs? Domain & Dimir are doing it! #MagicTheGathering #MTG

For Day 1 of @fanfinity.bsky.social @ultimateguard.bsky.social #RCBologna Standard, I calculated winrates of all decks w/ 10+ players. Golgari is main outlier (low), w/ Izzet, Oculus, Jeskai Control, & Orzhov strong. @fireshoes.bsky.social @optimustom.bsky.social @azoriusi.bsky.social

I got 95th place out of 1219 players (top 8%) in the big Limited format event at @starcitygames.bsky.social @scgcon.bsky.social #SCGDenver #SpotlightDragons. It was my first called and stamped booster draft in over 20 years, with my last one at Pro Tour Nice in 2002! It was cool to do it again.

I had been wanting to meet fellow gaming data analyst @nivethenerd.bsky.social for a while ever since we traded notes on #DisneyLorcana metagame and performance info, and I finally got to do so at @starcitygames.bsky.social @scgcon.bsky.social #SCGDenver ! With @danafischermtg.bsky.social .

The panel I was on at #WonderCon2025 about “A Career in Card Games” was a lot of fun! Thanks to Billy for hosting and Damyan from Tier 1 , @kenmeyerjrartist.bsky.social , and my dad @adamfischer71.bsky.social for also being a part of it!

I’m also excited to be on this panel tomorrow at #WonderCon - thanks for the invite, Billy !

Combined data (thanks @modernmetagame.bsky.social !) from the 9 Modern Challenges post-bans/unbans. Meta is diverse w/ top 5 at 33% total. Best results: - Mardu Energy - Temur Station - Broodscale - Boros Energy - Amulet Titan - Eldrazi Ramp docs.google.com/spreadsheets... @fireshoes.bsky.social
