Was an unreal tournament and absolutely a blast to play! Never in a million years did I expect to take it down, but was so thrilled to get there! Didn't stream it as was worried about the pressure/distraction but might break it down on my twitch sometime. Thanks Yung for hosting!

@Giles0250939721 @d00mwake This is going to lead to more netdecking and more formats centered around 1 archetype, because instead of seeing “oh mono black necro made top 32 in a modern chally? Sick let’s try it” it’s instead “oh look 8 Boros lists I guess that’s the only playable deck I’ll just play that”

@d00mwake Stifle creativity? By stopping people netdecking. That makes no sense

Disappointed by this decision. I'm still not entirely sure who this is for. Just seems to me this will stifle creativity and make it that much more difficult for folks to find interesting off-meta decks for basically every format.

@SpiderSpaceMTG Let’s fucking GOOO Gabe! Hell yeah homie I’ll be rooting for ya!

I made top 32 of RC Vegas! I'm back on the PT! 🎉🎉🎉

@BryanSchrempf @Davtaz98 @Etril @patxisanchez You want me to hold down the control key for the full duration of every single game? There should be a checkbox that prompts you every time you pass priority like mtgo, it can’t be that hard

@Davtaz98 @Etril @patxisanchez So use full control

MTG arena is the best platform to play magic and worst way to play competitive magic.

@MadAlzik @MTGOsalseo Yeah, it definitely needs retuning for amulet. I posted my amulet sb plan above but I could probably do better. What it really needs is a hoser sideboard target for amulet that’s persistable. Iona is 5c’s answer often, but I’m considering adding some elesh Norn moms to stop etbs

First league in ages, instant 5-0 with creativity. Deck is so much more cracked than people give it credit for, just needs fine tuning for any given meta. My one regret is no alt creature in the sideboard, was worried about and/or lost to a surgical a few times. Probably Emmisary

@YooperNick 2 surgical, 4 consign, 2 thoughtsieze, 2 natures claim in, 3 push, 3 galv, 1 vamp vengeance, 3 wren out. Wren would stay in if I was running any boseiju but I’ve always found wren + boseiju a bit too slow against amulet compared to just running some better spot removal.

@jktorborg What’s the plan against Amulet?

Tagging @fireshoes for clout, and @YungDingoMTG bc I was hoping to bump into him during the challenge and make him play this pile XD

@youngpeezy8 Hell yeah brother!!

4-1😄🧂🔒🕑#MTGOsalt #SolemnityNow #BestModernDeck

@youngpeezy8 Case confinement is back on the menu babyyyyy

#mtgosalt #modern #solemnitynow 😊🕒🔒

@jfnmarono Hey, thanks! I don't have a sideboard explicitly written up yet, and I actually just made some dramatic changes - force of negation has felt mediocre, along with 4 meltdown being way too many. Shoot me a dm if you wanna join the creativity discord, we have a few grixis players!

Hey! @jktorborg, I liked a lot the Grixis creativity deck that you played in the challenge(mtgtop8.com/event?e=66370&…). Can you provide a sideboard for people who are playing with a similar deck and want to improve :)

@Mike_The_Unreal @AdameMedia Yes, because the Smoot-Hawley tariffs were such a raging success… isolationism has never worked, and will never work for the U.S.

Ya know this isn’t bad… people seem to think the US is helpless without trade, when in fact the US is one of the countries that literally can stand alone and prosper. We have everything, natural resources, energy and food and water. US greed made us go global… our corporations wanted cheaper stuff to make more money. I’m pretty excited about a cheaper, happier and healthier lifestyle…

@YungDingoMTG This one truly cost some blood sweat and tears 😂 Codie’s up next

Youtube video of the league went up this morning! ➡️youtu.be/0JuMOaIiMiE?si…

@realDonaldTrump Bro if the CATO INSTITUTE of all places says your insane right wing idea is a bad one it might be a bad one. We all learned nothing from Ed Stein in Ferris Bueller’s day off apparently. youtu.be/R3zvJe3Koyw?si…

The Tariffs, and Tariffs alone, created this vast wealth for our Country. Then we switched over to Income Tax. We were never so wealthy as during this period. Tariffs will pay off our debt and, MAKE AMERICA WEALTHY AGAIN!

There's recently been a lot of hype over at the Creativity discord with all these Modern unbans, between the banning of ring and the addition of faithless looting. If anyone wants a link to the discord, please PM me and we'd love to brew with you! The deck is looking VERY strong.

@death_lighter @TandyMTG @EiJunCHNZhenYin Historically, all of the persist builds are mirror breakers (hehe) so I'd be interested to see what tools we actually want for the pseudo mirror out of 5 color, I'm assuming the countermagic will be key. It should be much better than spot removal there. Blue ftw?

@jktorborg @TandyMTG @EiJunCHNZhenYin I wana be on 5c to dunk on all the jund builds 🌝. Also trying to see if theres a feasible way to jam wrath of skies main

@death_lighter @TandyMTG @EiJunCHNZhenYin I certainly think so! I'm thinking Jund and Grixis are the ways to go, I think everyone is flocking to Jund but I think wren's overhyped especially with all the GY hate for the deck already. I think I want to be on blue over green

@TandyMTG @EiJunCHNZhenYin @jktorborg are we back bros? 👀

@TheWillHallExp Will Don’t you know!? GSZ can tutor for glistener elf! Surely this means infectc is tier 1 again 😜

Looting being back makes me happy. Twin, is going to be a meme still i think. Mox, is always powerful but so much hate these days. Will prob fit in a broken combo deck. Green, IDK. Never played with it outside of cube.

@Mengu09 I think part of the issue with standard for me as an entrenched modern player, for watching content, is I have no idea what any of the cards do at a glance and it takes a lot more effort to understand what’s going on at any point. let alone think about what the op could have etc.

Unfortunately Standard on MTGO just does not do well for me as a creator for content, having my last two videos miss and knowing that I have three more planned in the same format isn’t easy. Monday can’t come fast enough! Tomorrow Pauper! 👋

@manacymbal @MordeToLight @cave Ooh maybe! Either line honestly fits the essence of red lol. The second one still maintains the joke in and of itself.

@jktorborg @MordeToLight @cave I DO love that. Maybe just one of the lines?

Finally getting an mtg tattoo, actually two, which will become 5. Under the black mana symbol, clearly I will put "Greatness, at any cost." But what goes under Red? Is it "good ol' rock, nothing beats that?" Looking for something short and red. @MordeToLight @cave
