Looks like I can already show one of my fav pieces from last year now that the bonus card from the Secret Lair x Marvel's Storm has been around for a while.

I wrote more about Dimir! This deck is one of my favorite decks ever and it's part of an amazing standard format! This one is more focused on how to play+think about the deck, rather than how to build it.

Mas trophies 🏆

I got to copy Leyline Axe w/ Replication 3 of the 9 games. Highest dopamine kick in FDN so far

This is the coolest thing I’ve done this format and its not close!

I love how I keep finding new things to do

Tomorrow is TDOR (Trans Day of Remembrance)

It's a day we set aside each year to honor the trans people who died in the past year (a large majority being from violent deaths)

Please understand it is not a holiday and please DO NOT wish anyone you know a "happy tdor"

Recently I was soundly beaten in a Premodern game on Goblins against a player who was on another aggro deck, Sligh. He beat me by understanding that he had to play control against me to win. That made me think that there might be some newer players who haven't read what is 1/2

Incredible work from a terrific player and friend. Congrats Amir🙌🏼🙌🏼
