@Zykles__ @fireshoes Firebending lesson is for eddymurk crab. 5 mana deal 5 has been more important than 4 mana deal 4 or 6 mana deal 8.
I found that no more lies can be awkward on the mana turn 2. I have not missed the 2 mana counterspells at all. This is more of a personal preference though

@Ivan_Draw_Go @fireshoes Why firebending lesson over thunder magic or even fire magic? Also, is 0 2 mana counters not perilous?

Lost the finals of the Standard challenge 🥲
Undecided on Lute/Tablet split, but both feel good.

@Mana_traders This is only an issue with that morning. I had also tried to rent a standard prowess deck and you were out of sleight of hands. The issue seemed to resolve itself later in the day, but it was still very odd.
English

@Ivan_Draw_Go By popular demand, we see certain cards rented more than usual. But as soon as these cards become available on #MTGO, we buy more to make sure everyone can play the deck they want... in this case, Boros Energy.
English

@Mana_traders what in the world is going on? I've never encountered this issue outside of set release day

@TL_Metne Thanks for coming up with the idea of playing Momo! This deck is a blast to play! I'm sure this list is far from perfect, lots of work to be done yet.

I'm gonna show up to RCQs this modern season ONLY to stunt on Cliff

I'm gonna show up to RCQs this modern season ONLY to scoop my teammates into top 8 and stunt on the whiny babies. Sorry bozos, get good or somethin 😤
English

@ChironTheMage I agree, but also this hurts me specifically because I run the events and hardly ever get to play 😔
English

This is the real answer.
Performing well at locals translating into bonuses at "the big one" every year was awesome.
Yes there's problems, but they're no worse than people inflating companion numbers or homie scoops.

@ChironTheMage Bring back Planeswalker points. You should be able to qualify just by consistently doing well at locals, playing bigger events, doing well at those, and showing a consistent performance over time. RCQs feel awful if you don't exactly win them.

@WhattupMang I've played a total of 9 matches with Excruciator. It kind of feels like inverter. Will get to play more matches in the next few days
English

@Ivan_Draw_Go What’s your take on excruciator vs Kaito tempo? I’m dabbling with both.

@entusiasmat This store used to pull 30-40 people. A combination of bad promos and universe beyond is killing magic around here.
English

@Ivan_Draw_Go I legit dont get how can a tournament like this be a 2-slotter. Where I live rcqs are regularly 30-40 players and never 2s. Mtgo has 600 players for 1 slot. What am I missing
English

@RubenDS_TMT @fireshoes Greeter gives us more velocity with superior spider man and helps hit those land drops. The deck doesn't always want to combo so having 5 or 6 mana for the elementals is important. The saga felt clunky to me. Mostly cut it for curve considerations.
English

@Ivan_Draw_Go @fireshoes Hi Ivan, i had played it but i have some doubts, why you use greeter and cut Saga ? Thanks, amazing result.

Split the finals of a standard challenge with living end! This one is really fun to play and can fight through graveyard hate fairly well. @fireshoes

Lost the finals of the standard challenge. Great way to end the year with back to back top cuts. I'm convinced that blue is better in the deck despite beating the simic version a bunch. The craterhoof deck crushed me. Twice... @fireshoes
