Continued to tweak Parfait and pulled in another 3-0 at our #premodern weekly! 🎣

This time I played against Pitless Rack, Enchantress, and Enchantress

Explored cutting AKs, cutting Zurs, and adding a more surprising SB pivot

Correct! 3 Opalescence and 2 Replenish to get them back are the only win conditions. You could throw in a Decree of Justice to spice things up

I would like to see The One Ring restricted in every format for flavor reasons!

Took down the Premodern weekly on UW Tide 🏆

Haven’t 3-0’d a weekly since March. Been getting whooped in the finals every time 🙃
This week I played like a donkey, while pairing into all killers, and still somehow got there. Deck carried, but we take those 🤷🏼‍♂️
