@kpizzle109 GGs round 14, glad you made top 8!

10-5 at #RCDC to requal for Baltimore. Probably had a win and in to draw into the PT but missed. Not a fan of the Prowess format but glad to switch it up for Modern now.

Got 2nd in the Standard Challenge with Matt Nass' Domain list from the PT. Swapped sb Stock Up to Jace to respect a potential uptick in Domain decks.

@Mortdog Any word on the Treasure Armory bug? Still seeing a bunch of games where people aren't getting their items due to the orb being invisible/maybe(?) not there at all.

@nallainMTG "Forefathers one and all bare witness" goes hard as fuck

[Zach, Otter Equality Advocate @Zachd996]

@d00mwake Yeah this is just how something like a One Ring activation works if it is removed in response, you can't add or remove a countet from a permanent that doesn't exist, so the last known information is used.

@liamkane_ Just happened to find your Twitter, GGs in that last round, you killed it!

[Zach, Otter Equality Advocate @Zachd996]

@EdgarMTG This was my first RC and seeing both this and some of the most blatant prize/concession exchange discussion (That the judges seemed fine with?) had me in shock and awe. I figured this was a snap-DQ no questions asked

[Zach, Otter Equality Advocate @Zachd996]

@Mengu09 Thank you! 😃 props to Estratti!

[Zach, Otter Equality Advocate @Zachd996]

Played in my first RC this weekend, went 9-4 losing the win and in for the PT invite with @Mengu09's Domain list with Recruiter over Analyze. Ancient Cornucopia and Ill-Timed Explosion are the truth in this deck. Got 32nd for cash.

@Mengu09 That makes sense, I'm glad you brought up the burn plan because my friend and I noticed that Helix allows the deck to win that way now.

[Zach, Otter Equality Advocate @Zachd996]

@Mengu09 Think you are forced to here, they are strongly representing 2nd undying effect meaning we can really only ever try to brick the one on the stack vs. if we wait and try to bolt later and give them a second undying/grief trigger.

@topchimp420 This one's on the house 🫡

@d00mwake Grief on principal more than actual power
One Ring because its lame as fuck
Instant speed cascade with FoN backup is probably the only >actual< issue

[Zach, Otter Equality Advocate @Zachd996]

@justMizuyuki @TogoresMTG Got it, thank you

[Zach, Otter Equality Advocate @Zachd996]

@EdgarMTG @d00mwake @TheLetschKing There are just so many points to be gained by being even mildly prepared with a known strong choice, and so many points to be loss by doing basically anything else.

[Zach, Otter Equality Advocate @Zachd996]

@EdgarMTG @d00mwake @TheLetschKing Definitely second this, if there were a user manual on securing an RC invite, it'd probably be something like: Identify best deck, find list/sideboard from a confident source, get reps, make small adjustments in line with what worked for you, get that bag.
