Top 8 at MXP Oakland and qualified for RC Dallas on the last weekend possible! Played BTL, dodged Scam/Mill the entire main event thankfully. #paper" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mtggoldfish.com/deck/5470952#p… Notes/Matchups in thread:

@winstonchamora @fireshoes Sorry about the breakers but nice run

Sadly I am 1 of the 6-1-1 that didn’t make top 8 of SEA RCs. Still proud that I got consecutive 6-1-1 swiss score over 2 RCs! I am very happy with how I’m performing these days. I think we have the best Prowess list in the room. I only took my loss against Momo round 1.

@fanahovamtg Same guy in 1st too

Back to modern after the RC, same bad vibes, 4-0 into 4-2 🥲😂

Results: 1-4 lol

Lessons for RC Portland. Feeling some Bant Airbending FOMO, might have to satisfy that in Milwaukee. Results in thread

@gazmon48 Extremely poor, at least if you're a normie like me but even for really good players I can't imagine it's ever "worth" the flight and hotel unless you enjoy it (which is my point above)

@mlex121 There’s definitely a subjective value to invites, but do you think there’s an objective value? Like what is the expected value of an RC

How much monetary value would you assign to an RC invite? For me I’d say they’re worth less than $100

@gazmon48 Another part of this calculus is if you're playing a good number of RCQs (i.e. going for 2 invites), this is "paid back" in entry fees for events where you don't cash

@gazmon48 I still really like playing RCs and I've so far gone to all of them. I see paying for an invite as saving myself a lot of weekends and I do place a pretty high value on that time. I'd probably pay somewhere around $200 for an invite? Especially if I can do so start of season.

@gazmon48 (if given a choice)

@gazmon48 yeah I mean the finals, almost all the RCQs I play split the T8 and usually I'll do the finals re-split I feel like the answer for value varies a lot, I personally take the invite every time

@ajlvi @anzidmtg

I'll add this to the upgrades we'll make when we next work on the leaders page, but for now here's what I'm seeing.

@Mengu09 they're uncommon for historical reasons, usually you can find trash bins in convenience stores though like 7-11/Lawson and those are everywhere

Did they banned garbage bin in Japan? I swear I’ve been walking for over an hour around and havent seen one yet. 😅

My magic rules hot take is that they should remove slow play cautions and give warnings immediately.

@gazmon48 have always thought the 2nd unintentional draw should be a short ban

This should be an instant match loss for both players btw

@tafokints food-wise, Ping's Bistro has nice Yunnan Chinese cuisine (very mushroom heavy): maps.app.goo.gl/ru5KRxmQrUxJLp…

@tafokints Moonwake for specialty coffee (actually good pourover, or espresso drinks if you prefer), plus good tiramisu maps.app.goo.gl/Wq4usNUXMv4UmB…

Back in San Jose! Other than making my rounds with pho and banh mi, anything else stand out that I can’t get in LA?

Looking to ult a lot today in Vegas; decklist in alt text.

@toothymtg1 gl tomorrow if you high noon me I'll cry

final draft

@Jilyac @_MetaMage_ I think an idea is to numerically index each dot (1 being highest winrate deck, etc. and matching the order in the winrate table in pic 3) Then have a numeric index on pic 3 too That way you can at least cross reference between the two

@mlex121 @_MetaMage_ Yeah tbh I don't know what to do with this plot. If i label all the dots, it's un readable. And even now, we can often notice display issues.

Modern meta update #mtg #modern

@_MetaMage_ @Jilyac

@_MetaMage_ On the 4th 2d plot of winrate vs. prevalence, I think it's helpful to label all the dots, even the low prevalence decks
