Hi! I started playing magic in 2013 but i started approaching it more competitively since 2020. I often play MTGO challenges and post my results here 😀🇮🇹

[elBB ➡️ RC Ghent, RC Bilbao @elBBmtg]

@LiamStuntz37746 @fireshoes Thoughtseizes were fine but nothing crazy, i think they're the best flex slots you can find for the deck but that's just my opinion, everybody is playing different ones. I'm probably giong to add a 21th land in the main and moving grist in the sideboard.

[elBB ➡️ RC Ghent, RC Bilbao @elBBmtg]

Here's the list i'm probably bringing to ghent, maybe with a couple changes 😬😬
Made a top4 in a challenge (105 players), MUs below

@fireshoes for value

[elBB ➡️ RC Ghent, RC Bilbao @elBBmtg]

@JimmyTheJedi @fireshoes But against proactive decks (such as broodscale) I obv don't side nursery in because you have to be faster than him and leyline is strong at accelerating your combo 😉

[elBB ➡️ RC Ghent, RC Bilbao @elBBmtg]

@JimmyTheJedi @fireshoes I mainly bring out leyine and 2/3 dorks and eventually thoughtseize/grist if they're weak against his deck 😉

[elBB ➡️ RC Ghent, RC Bilbao @elBBmtg]

@jammy_f @fireshoes And than only if you want to bring in the nursery/icetill plan you side out leyline (and two or three dorks) which may lead you to combo a bit later sometimes (it doesn't allow you to combo on turn 2) but against interactive decks it doesn't matter much

[elBB ➡️ RC Ghent, RC Bilbao @elBBmtg]

@jammy_f @fireshoes Basically if you're main plan remains the combo i suggest to never side out leyline and side out instead a mana dork, eventually thoughtseize or grist and only if really needed a zenith or the speaker.

Spell snare maindeck and brazen borrower in the sideboard, looks like he took inspiratoon from my crazy lists😬 ❤️ Congrats for the result! 🔥

At the end of Day 1 at the Champion's Cup in Yokohama, Kazuaki Kurokawa remains the only player with a perfect 8-0 record, with Izzet Prowess!

Izzet Prowess is doing very well so far, with 5 of the Top 16 spots at the end of play. Come back tomorrow to see how it fares!

@larrynxxmtg @fireshoes And if you think about it you can ramp the nursery by tutoring dryad arbor with rythm or by animating a fetch with cub

[elBB ➡️ RC Ghent, RC Bilbao @elBBmtg]

@larrynxxmtg @fireshoes Thx 😀 i bring them in against decks like control/energy/ponza/dimir (in general against decks that leave you enough time to develop the nursery plan and that don't have answers to it once is resolved, except a copy in side of wear//tear in ponza and energy).

[elBB ➡️ RC Ghent, RC Bilbao @elBBmtg]

@JimmyTheJedi @fireshoes In addition you can ramp nursery by tutoring dryad arbor with zenith/rythm or by animating a fetch with cub

[elBB ➡️ RC Ghent, RC Bilbao @elBBmtg]

@JimmyTheJedi @fireshoes Hi hahaha yeah it's pretty unusual, but if you think about it there are no actual answers to this card once is resolved (except wear//tear) so once you resolve one you usually win the game 😬.

[elBB ➡️ RC Ghent, RC Bilbao @elBBmtg]

@Ni_Hao_DyLan @fireshoes I put it in when i bring in nursery🙃
In general i use this plan against decks like dimir/control/energy, because the only answer they have to it is wear//tear or counters.

[elBB ➡️ RC Ghent, RC Bilbao @elBBmtg]

The way I see it, there are two possibilities:

Either people get way too hyped about new cards as soon as they put up even the slightest results,

or I’m just too stupid to understand how a 1/1 with prowess and no haste in Modern (that maaaaybe lets you cast a second bad spell) is better than SLICKSHOT.

Feel free to opt for the second option XD, i won't get offended

@fireshoes ❤️

As promised, here’s the free sideboard guide of Dimir Midrange in Standard on Metafy that I used to qualify for Bilbao last Sunday!

[elBB ➡️ RC Ghent, RC Bilbao @elBBmtg]

@mami_mtg I compleately agree with you XD

Hi everyone! 🔥 Here’s the Dimir Midrange list I used to qualify for RC Bilbao last Sunday.
Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll post a free sideboard guide for everyone on Metafy!
And today I’ll see if I can also put together the Devoted Druid guide, with an extra little tech included 👀

@fireshoes for repost 😀
