Another 🏆with Legacy Bant Infect! www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/7332699...

Most games weren't even close. This deck feels unstoppable when it does its thing. 4 of everything makes it super consistent.

By far the best list I've ever created or played. 3 Veils 4 Swords 2 MVP in this meta.

After returning to Infect, the deck feels very solid right now! It took me a while to figure out the UB matchups, but I think I’m getting there! Interested in monthly metagame analysis and sideboard guides? Check out my Patreon!

5-0 🏆 with ol’ faithful!

Feels good to get this on my first try with my new list. Instead of trying everything to solve reanimator, I just went back to a ‘generic good’ build and it worked out great!

Man, I love Modern

Sam Dams @fenruscloud.bsky.social · Aug 22

Yes the idea would be to record the livestream as well for Youtube

Sam Dams @fenruscloud.bsky.social · Aug 22

Hey everyone, I need your input!

It's been so long since I've live streamed on Twitch, but I really miss it. I've been thinking about picking it up again. Is there still interest in this type of content since I've moved to YouTube?

Let me know! All feedback is very welcome!

(3/3) Sunday matchups:
R1 Nadu Breakfast 0-2
R2 GRB Initiative 1-2
R3 UB Aggro 2-1
R4 Mystic Forge 1-2
R5 Nadu Breakfast 0-2

The complete opposite feeling of yesterday. Had to mull almost every game because of mana issues and had an awful matchup lottery.
