@andrewnwq01 Roaring Furnace was nice for bolstering my big removal count, offering a mana sink in attrition games, and making boomerang basics better. i think additional copies of sear are an acceptable alternative

i placed 2nd at spotlight richmond with prowess- i liked my approach but made some mistakes in deckbuilding. will do better next time

Jacob Durish, too, wanted to qualify for Amsterdam. The 24-year-old local now has a second Top 8 to his name, following a previous Top 8 at Regional Championship.

He credited Eddymurk Crab with winning several matches that he would have otherwise lost!

@Zeroix7 @andrewnwq01 my best recommendation is consulting other strong players you trust. i had the opportunity to discuss sideboarding with @nadcariscool ahead of the event and he helped me better understand the deck’s relationship with the metagame. very thankful to know players like him

[jacob @izzMTG]

@Zeroix7 @andrewnwq01 just vibes. i threw the list together last minute and my prep consisted of going 2-3 at an rcq. i was not well-prepared lol. i’d try a 2-2 split of eddymurk crabs across the maindeck and sideboard, and using the last maindeck slot on the 4th elusive otter.

@andrewnwq01 i needed to put more work into sideboard mapping to get a better idea of what my wasted space was. to start, i’d probably play another big removal spell (like 2nd broadside barrage) and find room for the 4th elusive otter somewhere in the 75.

@Microman900 im in love

@real_schwers @Jahikoi i wouldn’t trim any copies of talent or steel-cutter, and i think 16 is the highest i’d go for threat count. if you want additional slickshots, i’d play them in the sideboard.

i worry that a card like wilt-leaf liege would harm our consistency too much and risk rotting in hand

[jacob @izzMTG]

top 8’d RC minneapolis with izzet prowess :) lack of experience punished me quite a bit in the matches i lost, but i’ll prep better next time

[jacob @izzMTG]

@Jahikoi @real_schwers drake hatcher generally lines up well into any deck with a high density of nowhere to run and damage-based removal: Rx mice, prowess, pixie variants, oculus. it’s slower than your other threats, but it threatens to snowball the game fast and is hard to answer

@danefont into the flood maw was insane all weekend; it answers everything your deck would otherwise be ill-equipped to fight. i am very happy i registered four copies in the 75

My girlfriend (@EmmaLouiseMaas1) top 8'd an RCQ in Delaware with Dredge! She's spent a long time mastering the deck, and I'm super proud of her :)
