Just a small follow-up to my previous post in case some of you haven't read it:
I will not be playing the Canadian RC this weekend but will be playing the side events. There will be a multitude of close friends and people that plan on playing my list, however. So it will be really nice to keep track of how they do in the main event. I think t...
So I learned a lot after the 10 matches of the Showcase.
I finished 6-4 but I kind of went offline after losing my first matchup against Rakdos since it was perfectly winnable and I threw both games. Side effect of running low on sleep, I had been up the last night looking into a lot more cards that can be implemented in the deck effective...

Any questions, ask away in the Discord, I am very active once again as I am actively playing for Pioneer.
First to note: Billing has been resumed, it will be paused on December 17. I plan on practicing this whole month before RC Atlanta.
UW Lotus is still a very strong deck. However, with the new metashift, the deck has to also play differently as well. I have taken a pretty drastic (but very beneficial) shift in the deck.
I have pla...
Hello Patrons!
What you have all been waiting for: I am now fully invested into practicing for Pioneer.
UW Lotus Field is going to be the deck I play for the RC Atlanta. I am also going to RC Toronto (only playing side events) to practice with the deck. I will have a full month before RC Atlanta to get the perfect list for the eve...
With the full spoilers coming out, this is a list that I would probably be building.

I expect more aggro and phoenix to be present with the next set and so 4 Doomskar seems necessary. Th...
2023-11-06 18:07:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello all,
I have decided moving forward, to pause billing during certain months when there are not many competitive events going on.
I understand many people just want to get value out of their subscription and it doesn't make sense to me to continue charging during "low seasons" of magic when I cannot personally find content ...
2023-10-23 14:48:39 +0000 UTC View PostHello all, I wrote a quick document of the recent changes the deck has made over the past month.

2023-10-15 18:26:02 +0000 UTC View PostSo with RC Calgary and RC Lille coming to a conclusion, I see the meta has changed pretty drastically. Monogreen is no longer as dominant as it used to be and Rakdos has made a surge.
Lotus Field Combo also continues to perform and there are a lot of aggro decks as well.
With that in mind, splashing black is probably the best route h...
2023-10-04 01:11:56 +0000 UTC View PostHello all!
I am finally back from Vegas and will be working on my decklists more. Since there are not many Modern competitive events left, I will be focusing on Pioneer.
Modern:

Saw a bunch of scam and decided to return to my PT list.
The event is single elimination and you have to 5-0 to top 8. Did not make it there but I will continue playing my pt list for tomorrow since I think it is better than Jeskai Wizards in this meta.
Too much scam.

2023-09-23 02:46:54 +0000 UTC View PostSo as mentioned in my previous posts, there are two lists that I am primarily considering:
Jeskai Narset w/Flame of Anor
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/gPtyrIk3yUe3qGWyFJdIiw
SB Guide: 2023-09-16 23:55:27 +0000 UTC View Post
This is likely what I would play in Pioneer in what I think is the current state of the meta.
I would like to emphasize that this is not representative of what I think will be at the RCs but what is being played now in general. Because there is no real incentive to play Pioneer right now, the meta has become more aggressive. It is likely t...
2023-09-15 05:47:03 +0000 UTC View PostSo here are the lists I will be practicing extensively this week in preparation for Vegas:
First one which I think may be the most promising:

I realize Ragavan is probably good in t...
2023-09-15 05:32:38 +0000 UTC View PostSo I have been developing this list for the past two weeks and I am still in the early stages of it.
I wanted to combine both the strengths of Jeskai Wizards and Narset. First stages of testing and it actually does show a lot of promise. I really think Baral is underestimated by a lot of players right now. The cost reduction is very strong...
2023-09-09 02:50:14 +0000 UTC View Post
So as most of you know, I will be going to Las Vegas for side events. I will likely be playing the Secret Lair Showdowns for the Ragavan.
With that in mind, nothing in the set is really a WOW for Modern, which is what I will be focusing on for the time being.
I will likely play some form of Jeskai Wizards:
I originally planned to add commentary for this Challenge but I am not sure when I have the time to do that. Been pretty busy lately. With that in mind, I think it is just worth it to upload this for anyone that wants to watch the matches itself.

I want this video to highlight the consistency and playability of hands that censor/rewind gives. You can still play a winning game without the combo and I still do prefer it over Impulse. The stronger interaction really sets up winning positions even if you do not ha...
2023-08-18 19:13:33 +0000 UTC View PostI am probably going to take a break from UW Narset.
I think Snapcaster Mage and Flame of Anor both have the potential to return to Modern. I have made this for now but I definitely don't think it is the most optimal list. This list is very much in the early stages. This seems very fun to play though and I will be playing it tomorrow at m...
So I still think UW Narset is the best version of UW right now in Modern.
This will continue to be developed but at a slower pace until the rcqs for modern start in September.
That said, this is the current list:
2023-08-15 19:57:39 +0000 UTC View PostSo I did a lot of thinking on the plane on the way back and I finished with a lot of thoughts.
I will be cleaning up my lists for UW Lotus Field. I know I have so many different variations that from now on, it is hard to keep up. With the meta always changing, I have to make this a bit more organized.
I realize there is no real reaso...
2023-08-14 12:59:33 +0000 UTC View PostI return this Sunday, August 13.
Will likely take a few days to get unjetlagged.
UW Blues, you can post on the Discord lists of UW, whether it be your own or someone else’s for me to try.
I plan on focusing on Pioneer but will likely play on Modern as well.
To show my appreciation, I will also host a livestre...
2023-08-10 08:43:55 +0000 UTC View PostI will be on vacation (exploring Italy and Paris until Aug 13)! It is my first time in Europe so I wanted to take advantage of it.
Rest assured that UW has been on my mind during my vacation but this vacation was well needed as most of you know how much magic I have been playing in the last two months.
With the next major events bein...

With the PT coming up, I finally finished all the content I had prepared for Modern this week. I leave tomorrow and wanted to make sure I have this all done before I leave. So here it is:

Takes from the previous list:
Dennick is hot garbage.
Behold the Multiverse and Shark Typhoon aren't very great as a one-of.
Sea Gate Restoration and 4x Thespian's Stage are completely fine in the list and work well.
New take:
Rewind is actually pretty good and reinforces the deck's ability to play as regu...
Pretty much wanted to get feedback on the Patreon posts. I have been making one every time I make a new list but I can understand, it is sometimes too difficult for everyone to keep up if I am constantly changing or posting. I just wanted to know whether you all wanted constant updates on Patreon as well, or rather slow it down and I post on Pat...
2023-07-18 14:28:57 +0000 UTC View PostI really enjoyed Censor and want to test 4 of them. Cutting green out completely except for Dragonlord Dromoka. Changed a bit of the mana base and I am not sure about the 4 Thespian’s Stage. I think it is worth it though with the meta shifting to a less aggressive but more grindy format.
Not sure about 4 censors, might go bac...
