4-2 with decent UR Prowess. 1-2 with insane Lorehold. Unlikely to play these events again if they continue to be bo1. I would encourage others not to either.

What part of Magic do you most want to improve at? Be as specific as you like.

Made the final draft of the Limited Championship Qualifier with the most absolutely insane sealed deck I've ever had. @fireshoes 2/3 of my creatures were Emerituses 😅 Draft deck in next tweet ⤵️⤵️⤵️

The draft was interesting. I stayed really open early and settled into a Jeskai Control deck. I lost a really close QF to another member of my draft community on Converge Control. I played a total of 4 creatures across both decks today 😅

My team smashed it this weekend! The other Sam in my group made top 8 of the RC and will be joining us two of us already Qd at PT Amsterdam 🥳 Stoked for him! Two of us made the final draft in the LTQ today, with my teammate going out in the semis. Couldn't be prouder 😊

RC12 day with every Izzet deck. Big magic will tell you you need to choose between Slickshot, Accumulated Wisdom, and Sunderflock. They're lying to you. Results ⤵️⤵️⤵️

Shoutout to @FosterNicholas_ for the sweet list, a better version of what I'd been working on myself.

I'm deep in the weeds testing for my RC this week, and standard is fascinating: 2-4 different sub-archetypes within each archetype, and ~17 different decks earned PT invites last weekend. There are imbalances, yes: a few cards, interactions, and colours that are very strong. 1/2
The meta looks “healthy” wrt total number of viable decks. The issue I have is the gameplay and play patterns feel very scripted and it feels impossible to win games on the draw against talent/boom or elf/cub. This isn’t standard, it’s pioneer or even extended.

But even with these imbalances, the format has so much room for deckbuilding creativity and gameplay skill expression. I know complaining about formats is Magic players' favourite pasttime, but it gets really tedious sometimes.

How to 🏆 with Silverquill: three copies of Elite Interceptor, 37 other cards. Cool bit of synergy: Killian's Intervention with Snooping Page and Mage Tower Referee and/or Melancholic Poet goes nicely in a longer game.

Strixhaven drafting: Day 1. I drafted Silverquill three times (the colour pair that is; the dragon only once). It sucked every time. Some thoughts ⤵️⤵️⤵️

...that being said, the deck doesn't really play like a fast aggro deck, so it struggles to close before red and green decks get big butts into play. I'm not sure what the solution here is.

Follow for more! I'm hoping to share a lot more of my limited thinking as this set evolves. Unless you're the bastard that Cyclonic Rift'd me, you're not welcome 😡
