Played in my first RCQ today, EOE limited.

My sealed pool was decent, but nothing crazy. Was able to make top 8 for EOE draft. Happy to say that I made finals and earned an invitation to one of next years RCs.

Lost G3 in the finals, but I think the last two games were pretty competitive.

Saturday prerelease p1!

Played BG this morning with a completely colorless top end. My goal was to be a bit removal heavy until Thrumming Hivepool was online.

A bit of a writeup in the reply.

Friday Prerelease decks!

Found some free time between the two events today to eat and more importantly post yesterday’s decklists.

First event I played RGW and RG in the second event.

Both events I went 2-1 with the loss in the last round.

On my way to two more prerelease of #MTGEternities!

Didn’t have time to post yesterday’s decklists, but I’m going to try and post all four tonight!

Had a great time at #MTGEternities prerelease today! Went 2-1 both events. Starter each event strong, but faced stronger opponents in round 3.

Played RGW for the first event and RG for the second.

Going to post deck photos tomorrow morning!

11am and 4pm prereleases tomorrow!

Pictures from last night's 3-0 draft as well as pulls from prize packs!

My winning play for the 3-0 was pretty awesome. Aerith Rescue Mission, tapping their board, followed by Unexpected Requesting their largest creature, which allowed me to equip a Warrior's Sword for exactly lethal.

Just barely made it back in town on time to play in the last #MTGxFinalFantasy draft. My first 3-0 draft ever! Played a fun Boros deck.

Pictures will come tomorrow!

Can't wait for Edge of Eternities pre-release this weekend!

After a three week mathematics research trip, I finally got to get back into drafting #MTGxFinalFantasy!

Drafted an okay Dimir deck today. Went 2-1 after losing R1 to a strong Izzet deck.

Did not get to 1-shot anyone with Odin, but it was easy removal bait 😂

Looking forward to playing FNM!

Participated in my first paper #MTGxFinalFantasy draft today. Moreover, this is my first paper draft in over 10 years.

Opened pack 1, pick 1 with Ancient Adamantoise and committed to Green. To everyone's surprise at the table tonight, I ended up drafting Mono-G and finished 2-1!

Deck Below!

Finally cracked open my prize packs from #MTGxFinalFantasy prerelease with @quela-m.bsky.social tonight!

Some really great pulls such as Ancient Copper Dragon Showcase, Vivi Orniter, and Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER.

Pictures include all the cards I pulled (including from sealed) that are over $3.

Got back from my last day of #MTGxFinalFantasy prerelease. Unfortunately, only four players participated so today was only two rounds. That being said, I was the 2-0 player today!

I played a Dimir control/graveyard deck that played a lot better than I thought it would.

Pictures and details below

Just got back from #MTGxFinalFantasy prerelease Day 2! Tonight was a win-a-box. 8 participants so we planned to cut to top 4 after 3 rounds. I won the first two rounds to secure a spot in top 4. We decided to split the box, so I finished with 9 prize packs!

Will post details about my deck later.

On my way to #MTGxFinalFantasy prerelease Day 2. Tonight I’ll be playing in a win a box.

Will post results in the comments!

Given that Final Fantasy X was my favorite video game as a kid, it was only fitting for the Counter Blitz deck to be my first ever commander deck.

I'm looking forward to cracking this open, but first I have to find the right sleeves, any recommendations?

In celebration of passing my PhD defense yesterday, I participated in my first prerelease since Return to Ravnica last night.

I played an equipment focused Boros deck that used several of the new Job select cards. Let me know what you think!

My WUBRG Wednesday pick will have to be this versatile value pick. One of the first Un-Cards I saw in my first cube draft ever.
