Made a quick pithing needle naming priority list for modern affinity with @Ryan__39 to help out newer players trying this deck for the RCQ season or returning players picking modern back up.
Affinity mirror is posted in a separate picture because it's based on board states

Top 8 in the modern showcase, studied the blade under @Arcbound_Papi. We came up with extra enablers to support 3 copies of Krang and a cool sideboard pivot to all 4 robots in the less interactive matchups. Lost round 1 to boros before rattling off 8 straight.

Rough sideboard plans for the Sultai Control deck I played in the Richmond 1k. Wanted to post for any brave NRG grinders trying to put Uro on the stack this weekend.

Went 11-4 to make Top 32 in Spotlight Avatar with stock lessons. Deck is a blast to play and Avatar is finally the slop for me, can’t wait to play it again in Portland. Should probably not board out gran-gran, but the sideboard plans never let me down.

My general expression when I play @Ryan__39 is I’m in trouble. 😅

Won @apexgamingMTG Spider-Man sealed, played GB Friendly Neighborhood In sealed and GB Team-Up in draft. Was happy with both decks and the opportunity to play competitive limited.

Made top 8 of the modern showdown at @NRGSeries Mundelein. Riddler continues to be one of the coolest new cards and goryos is slowly becoming a pet deck of mine.
