[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

RC11 Sydney day! I am 🦀 people, 🦀people.

Put a lot of work into the list and sb plans, hopefully the Magic gods are kind to me.

8-1 here at GP Chiba at the end of Day 1 with Mono G. Hoping to run it back 💪

@MrChecklistcard NZ is beautiful, you'll love it. If you get a chance, just take a drive or hike through their mountains.

And you should definitely pop across the pond to Sydney and come say hi.

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

@JakeJankowski2 Strongly recommend reviewing with a trusted friend

What part of Magic do you most want to improve at?

Be as specific as you like.

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

@FAir_Jordans Yeah I feel you on that. I sometimes justify that by thinking that's just me playing to my strengths...???

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

@bed_mtg How do you find the wrong headspace tends to manifest in game?

This is something I've been thinking about a lot lately.

@ajlvi Fuck that's awful. I'm glad the most important things survived, but that's still really tough.

@Chosler @fireshoes @MTGJoe2 I legitimately don't know how the newest generation of players will learn theory stuff any way other than playing. I devoured every article on CFB and SCG for years when I was an aspiring competitive player.

@1Drakos1 @fireshoes There is good complaint equity in being paired into this

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

Made the final draft of the Limited Championship Qualifier with the most absolutely insane sealed deck I've ever had. @fireshoes

2/3 of my creatures were Emerituses 😅

Draft deck in next tweet ⤵️⤵️⤵️

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

@siziyman @fireshoes 18 lands :)

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

@Sierkovitz @fireshoes Goddammit you're right

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

@Sierkovitz Of course! I'll be in Amsterdam about a week before the PT, let's do a draft and maths chat.

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

@PlayMTG Let's go Sam T! 🥳

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

My team smashed it this weekend!

The other Sam in my group made top 8 of the RC and will be joining us two of us already Qd at PT Amsterdam 🥳 Stoked for him!

Two of us made the final draft in the LTQ today, with my teammate going out in the semis.

Couldn't be prouder 😊

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

The draft was interesting. I stayed really open early and settled into a Jeskai Control deck.

I lost a really close QF to another member of my draft community on Converge Control.

I played a total of 4 creatures across both decks today 😅

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

@PiemontiAndrea Not sure I like the Sunderflock plan, nor the Riddler. Might be interested in more copies of Stallion. I've liked Get Out and Disdainful Stroke, but they're probably for different slots.

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

5-3 in the end. 3-1 v Prowess, 2-2 v Other.

R1 GB Mono Graveyard Hate ❌️🏆❌️
R2 UB Kaito 🏆🏆
R3 Mardu Discard ❌️🏆❌️
R4 Prowess ❌️🏆🏆
R5 Prowess 🏆❌️❌️
R6 RW Fling Aggro 🏆🏆
R7 Prowess 🏆🏆
R8 Prowess 🏆🏆

[Sam from Draft Punks @Calm_Mirror]

RC12 day with every Izzet deck.

Big magic will tell you you need to choose between Slickshot, Accumulated Wisdom, and Sunderflock. They're lying to you.

@Archwanderer Congrats man!!
