9 hours later and it's time to draft!

battling it out in the biggest mocs open i can remember! good luck to all 482 sickos

couldn't quite get there. pool was nothing special

Made day 2 with the Interceptor Mechan special!

Into day 2 from the gravship (2018 honda cr-v)

had fun and even won a few matches! list I'd "recommend" here - don't think this one is taking down the next PT but you can get some turn 3 kills and have a good time 🙂 moxfield.com/decks/qlFFQx...

we're so back

if you don't love her at her 3-of-a-kind you don't deserve her at her thoughtseize->salvage->parhelion

Only a little embarrassed to admit that I've started doing this for every online event and it works extremely well

Lost my win and in for the Arena Champs. Rough way to go out but I'll bounce back. Played roots, loved the glissa tech for the weekend. moxfield.com/decks/wlA8Ql... @handshakemtg.com @moxfield.com

morning waterfall hike -> arena qualifier 7-1, pretty good saturday! I'll post my decklist tomorrow

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

tournament report so good they won't let you see it!

I wrote a deck guide for the UR Cauldron deck I played at the PT! You can purchase it on mfy.gg/guides/view/... It includes card explanations, how to play the deck and a SB guide for the most popular matchups. I think the deck is great now and will become even better post-bans!

Ran the tables in standard on day 2 for an 11-5 finish and an Atlanta requal. Even managed to sneak into top 32 for the cloud promo 🤑 I might be back?

Another PT in the books for Handshake. Congrats to @elikassis.bsky.social and @tangrams.bsky.social for securing foil Cloud promos with their top 32 finishes! Overall 14/15 team members requalified for Atlanta. We'll see you there!

4-4 into losing the credit card game for the full welcome back experience. Excited to draft again though!

Showtime

Always a little bittersweet packing up the testing house- we could spend weeks jamming matches and arguing about draft packs in the pool! But for now there's a tournament to go win 🤝

We got the 🐐!!

We’re so back - David Inglis @tangrams.bsky.social fell off the train for a year but earned his PT Final Fantasy invite twice over, winning a MOCS open and finishing 13th at the US RC. What does his next stint on the PT have in store?

Up far too early to catch my flight to Vegas. Still crazy that I get to just take a week away from everything to play a card game with my friends from around the world, never gonna take that for granted.

One of the simple joys in life

Getting to that tragic stage of pt testing where I have to start accepting that none of my brews are playable 😭

Decided I wanted to write up a tournament report / fun memories report, as I like the idea of writing up my most fun moments after events to remind myself of the fun times I have at these events. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I'm the backup feature for round 1! Battling with omni this weekend moxfield.com/decks/J_B5Mg...

Geared up and ready to take down the RC! @handshakemtg.com @moxfield.com

Live look-in at RC Hartford competitors finalizing their standard decks

I'll be getting to Hartford around 5:30 today if anyone wants to grab dinner

Today in mtgo bugs - the number of basic lands you register in your limited deck gets doubled! I'd stay away until they announce a fix

Another deep run in a qualifier weekend. Squeezed everything I could out of my pool but it wasn't quite enough. Sad to say goodbye to aetherdrift limited- great format! full pool: moxfield.com/decks/ik7lwB...

Heartbreaking loss in the finals of the Vintage MOCS 😭💔 Oath felt like a great metagame call and I waded through a sea of Lurrus decks only to lose to one final one at the end, piloted by WingedHussar with whom I tested for the tournament. GGs! Decklist: moxfield.com/decks/UyDUM7...

Got another Showcase Qualifier token 🤠 Amulet has remained tier 1 or 0 beaten three energies, wb, and eldrazi tron moxfield.com/decks/PsorFE...

Love how @riotgames.com handled the cheating scandal at TFT worlds - lengthy public statement on their investigation, the punishments handed down, the changes they're making to protect competitive integrity moving forward. So important for community confidence, hope wotc can learn from their example

2 wins short 😭 Really happy with my gruul build for the weekend, notes + sideboarding mapping here: moxfield.com/decks/SJ_MGc...

snuck through day 1 of the arena qualifier. Will post list + sb guide tomorrow on @moxfield.com

Finished day 1 of Spotlight Series Utrecht "undefeated" (7-0-1) with Temur Breach. I like my List for Metagame that are not over 20% Breach yet. moxfield.com/decks/dOBx5O...

on friday we were sweating the jesse vs tristan lcq finals teamkill, and then she turned around and won the whole thing?? huge congrats @tiddypills.bsky.social!

BO1 draft vs valgavoth's onslaught, ghostly dancers, and all the overlords. Great practice for your mental game! Will post my trophies in this thread🧵

The loop in question:

lots of great hangouts in chicago. the standout though was me shouting "stop, I have a loop, i have a loop!" as @bsweitz123.bsky.social scooped up my kci deck mid-cube match so he could make his dinner reservation. I was 100% lying but then realized the next day i did actually have one!

Found some familiar faces!

Headed to Chicago! Not playing anything this weekend, just hanging out and watching the PT. Nice to have a low-stress magic trip for once 😅

Couple days til #MCChicago so it’s cookie time! $6 each. Salted Chocolate, PB and J, The Elvis and Red Velvet with Cream Cheese filling! DM if you’d like to order some, I always sell out! I’ll be there all weekend. Appreciate Retweets/comments from past buyers! Let people know!

making moves!
