Mixed weekend of magic. 2-2 at FNM pauper playing mono red madness. It’s powerful but there is a fail rate that makes it frustrating. 4-1-2 at standard RCQ with Izzet prowess. Deck ran great didn’t drop a game until top 4 but then couldn’t win the rematch against Azorious Airbending.

Fun weekend of Magic. 3-1 at FNM for third with mono blue fairies and then 4-3 as a team for NRG team trios. Went 5-2 as the standard seat with Izzet prowess. Otters good 🦦🦦🦦🦦 The magic is always exciting but the gathering will always be the best part.

Trophied FNM with mono blue fairies last night. Deck is sick, saiba cryptomancer was a fun of one of that ended up winning me multiple games. Will probably be playing this at NRG elmhurst next weekend. R1 mono blue terror 🥷🥷 R2 mono red madness 🥷🥷 R3 Rakdos madness 🥷🥷 R4 white weenie 🥷☠️🥷

3-1 in pauper at FNM tonight. Mono red madness ran well, was happy to be back. The Chicago community is so warm. Affinity always seems like a tough match no matter if I’m playing blue or red. R1 mono blue fairies 🔥🔥 R2 mono red artifact burn ☠️🔥🔥 R3 mono blue fairies 🔥🔥 R4 grixis affinity ☠️🔥☠️

Playing the new doomsday deck that won the pro tour and it’s a ton of fun. Had a funny game where I evoked deceit and binned an Ugin just for them to them to draw another Ugin lol. Can’t thoughtsieze the top the deck haha.

Wake up babe, new gameplay video! It's been awhile, but Rakdos Leyline is really giving me the feels while playing Standard. Deck is super fun to play and has a lot of depth when you aren't doing the broken thing. @fireshoes.bsky.social ❤️‍🔥 youtu.be/2vw-lXBolXw

a gangster government cowering in fear of a decrepit man, misery incarnate, himself terrified of the long black shadow of his life behind him, one riddled with crime and a deep hatred of other people, a man with no virtue, no soul, a man of nothing, a specter.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

2-1 at prerelease with Temur elemental giants. Lorwyn eclipsed is a very fun set. Squawkroaster was the mvp double strike with good pump is awesome. Artwork is beautiful love the twinflame traveler Loot is holding! R1 Jund blight ☠️🔥☠️ R2 azorious merfolk 🔥☠️🔥 R3 golgari elves ☠️🔥🔥

gonna start drawing magic characters in sonic poses starting now

3-1 in pauper tonight. Got to play fairies since my brother is finishing his PHD and couldn’t make it to FNM. Damn does it feel good to say no. Pulled a bristly bill in my prize pack! R1: abzan food combo 2-0 R2: alter from 0-2 R3: mono blue terror 2-0 R4: fairies mirror 2-1

Seeing the end of the year MTG Japan X Account Set summary fan illustration is always a delight.

Merry Christmas! My wife was able to snag the Loot holiday card from last year as a great gift! Happy holidays to everyone.

Finally got the grand finale build to work with silent ended with an A14 heart kill. Retiring from slay the spire for a bit, I don’t know if it can get better than that.

4-2 at the dice dojo pauper wonderland charity tournament to get 17th of 55 and barely miss prizing. Salvaged a good record from an 0-1 start but lost my win and in to a great player and friend who I respect a lot. Still have more growth but happy with today’s performance.

Return to pauper tonight with mono red madness went 3-1 happy with the results. Deck feels strong you need to be aware of its fail rate and play around the hate but it still feels powerful. Elves 2-0 Jeskai ephemerate 2-0 Walls Colvin 1-2 Dimir fairies 2-1

You LOVE to see it.

Sad about bans, believe I’ll be switching to simic or boros doing some testing now.

Great weekend of magic Went 3-1 at pauper FNM. Played mono red madness, beat gardens, ponza, and elves lost to pestilence. Meta was not snake friendly happy I put delver away for the time being. Top 8’d Sunday‘a RCQ placed 6th but the store cut to top 4. 3-2 record, excited for bans tomorrow.

lets have fun with mama

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.

Won FNM last night to earn a free invite to the NRG pauper 1k in two weeks. It was a battle of all the blue mages but our silly snakes got there. Delver feels like one of the most powerful things you can do in the format. R1: mirror 🐍☠️🐍 R2 mono u fairies 🐍☠️🐍 R3 mirror ☠️🐍🐍 R4 Grixis Affinity 🐍🐍

As we cycle through decks so quickly through all the new standard sets I think supporting pioneer as a space for players to keep their old standard decks but upgrade them with stronger tools is really important But what do I know

Just finished the fifth stormlight archive book. Was my least favorite of the five but really enjoyed the series overall. Excited to read the next era and clean up the remaining Cosmere stories I have outstanding. Journey before destination.

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. R1 mono red ☠️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 R2 Izzet Vivi ☠️☠️ R3 Izzet Vivi ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 R4 Izzet Vivi ☠️☠️ R5 Abzan roots ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

2-2 with gruul monsters think I’m retiring the deck going to switch back to madness for spooky season. Happy to have a fun deck built but without card draw feels very feast or famine.

Beat hades 2 yesterday. Didn’t mind the ending thought and I thought the gameplay was so fun. Game of the year race is going to be so tight this year.

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. R1 gruul villains 🕸️🕸️(🕷️) R2 Temur heroes 🕸️🕷️🕷️ R3 Jund graveyard 🕷️🕷️

3-0 with in Spider-Man prerelease with bant modified matters/webslinging. SP/Dr piloted by peni carried but the deck just played well. (Plus one web up and plus one Spider-Man Brooklyn visionary opponent accidentally had webbed up lol) R1 Rakdos madness 🕷️🕷️ R2 esper modified 🕷️🕸️🕷️ R3 2 decks🕷️🕸️🕷️

Played gruul monsters in pauper last night. Rough debut for the deck went 1-3 losing to mono red madness twice and lost a close gain to my brother on mono u fairies. Beat Dimir terror and won a practice match against mono u terror so I’m going to keep tinkering with the deck.

Tomorrow we gather for LagerTown at the brewery. Alongside limited steins and stickers, this year’s commemorative tee awaits – cream print on cypress, classic fit with structured shoulders and a ribbed neck. Soft yet durable, made to last through Oktoberfest for many years to come.

Just got the true ending in silksong, absolutely amazing game.

We’re on a mission from Richard Garfield, Ph.D.

Finally Yoshimaru can become a spider hero

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

Rough RCQ today 0-3 drop. Had a great time playing against diverse decks excited to try for another invite soon. Excited to leave early and go play silksong. R1 Abzan roots ❤️‍🔥☠️☠️ R2 Vivi ❤️‍🔥☠️☠️ R3 Jeskai Oculus ☠️❤️‍🔥☠️

Top 8’d my first RCQ with @stanley2099.bsky.social’s Boros Swiss Army Mice. Lost in quarters to my round 3 Vivi opponent. Mono white ❤️‍🔥☠️❤️‍🔥 Vivi ☠️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Vivi ❤️‍🔥☠️❤️‍🔥 Izzet control ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 ID Vivi ☠️❤️‍🔥☠️

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.

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.

Come celebrate LagerTown Sat, Sept 13. The Stein Special is a towering 22oz stein + first pour & all-day beer discounts. Add stein holding, axe throwing, archery, hammerschlagen, live music, and a German-inspired menu, and you've got yourself Oktoberfest. Full details next week.

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!

Repping standard for NRG trios team main event today! Let’s go aggro!

Standard RCQ next. Won the first ground against 4c mystical teachings control!
