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.

RCQ 2nd place finish with Dimir Midrange. R1: Boros Dragons ✅✅ R2: Dimir Excruciator ✅✅ R3: Izzet Spellemenals ✅❌✅ @nickcowden R4: ID 🤝 R5: ID 🤝 Quarterfinals: Izzet Spellemenals ✅✅ @EndicottClint Semifinals: Izzet Prowess ✅❌✅ Finals: Homie Scoop 🤝

Josh and Sam sit down with @cpgrl_ and @filipamtg to talk all things women in MTG — from inclusion to learning from each other’s experiences. It’s an honest chat and worth a listen! youtu.be/1QRgzlhF05c open.spotify.com/episode/27BID0… @fireshoes @TheChadMagic @SanctumOfAll

Modern meta update #mtg #modern

Finished 9th place on breakers at @HBM_TO. Didn't sleep much last night so made some small mistakes that cost me games in all 3 matches I lost today. Deck was great. Coat was bananas. Matchups in 🧵

Data for RCs China, ANZ, SEA and SK&JP now available (3749 matches, 974 players) Full analysis at: j6e.me/mtg-meta-analy… @fireshoes

@RossHunneds @LemorasCards Ditto

@LemorasCards I definitely miss block constructed.

I don't think people actually miss blocks (data on literally every block shows this), they miss how Magic felt when blocks were a thing.

2026 APEX CON SCHEDULE We're bringing Apex Cons back in 2026 with some changes! We will have 5 conventions this year packed with awesome prizes and events! These events are more than just MTG! We will have main events and side events for Riftbound, Lorcana, and others! (1/4)

Team Wasian Supremacy led by their Supreme Wasian (me) got a nice Top 4 today at the NRG team event. Jeskai Blink feels good to me right now in modern. Thanks to my teammates @MullalyConnor and @Will__Krueger for carrying me today.

Congrats to our #NRGCHI Team Trios Showdown Winners, Team Writhing Christophers! Austin Graham - Temur Harmonizer Gabriel Roberts - Goryos Vengeance Matt Sims - Sultai Tempo Welcome to #NRGCHAMP!

Here’s your new LB, Browns fans 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@ham4ndcheese Why do you recommend not playing this?

played spotlight richmond to 10-5 with momo occulus ✅ lessons✅ lessons✅ uw flash❌ lessons ❌ lessons✅ rhythm ✅ prowess✅ lessons ❌ ub mid✅ prowess✅ excruciator❌ landfall✅ harmonizer❌ ub mid✅ good enough for min cash at 59th (don’t play this deck)

@nyaborondayo Additionally, I think the format is getting too fast and plays more to the board for those style of decks to be good. Holding up mana while falling behind on board is a recipe for disaster.

@nyaborondayo I wouldn’t say that Tidebinder is unnecessary; however, I don’t think that it fits my main deck game plan. With this build, my approach is more like a true midrange plan. Tidebinder shines in tempo and control decks that have more instant speed options (card draw, counters, etc).

RC invite obtained with Dimir Midrange. R1: Azorius Control ✅✅ R2: Izzet Lessons ✅✅ R3: Allies ✅✅ R4: Izzet Lessons ✅✅ R5: ID 🤝 Semifinals: Izzet Lesson ❌✅✅ Finals: Homie Scoop 🤝 Dream Beavers and Super Shredder were exceptional additions!

5-0’d the standard Saturday RECQ this weekend at Richmond. Felt good to get the que for DC after a bad time in the main event. Yip Yip @fireshoes
