Was an unreal tournament and absolutely a blast to play! Never in a million years did I expect to take it down, but was so thrilled to get there! Didn't stream it as was worried about the pressure/distraction but might break it down on my twitch sometime. Thanks Yung for hosting!

@Porterhous90889 @AbdulElSayed Hate to break it to you buddy but not only has he explained how, he wrote an entire book about it. You should read it

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@Gocrytoyourmom2 @sahouraxo Bro read the second half of your own image you posted

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@MeninooNey I am devastated that I’ll have to lose to you in more leagues again but extremely happy for you none the less! Cheers haha there is no Living End without you man! You are a monster with it lol keep it up

@Giles0250939721 @d00mwake This is going to lead to more netdecking and more formats centered around 1 archetype, because instead of seeing “oh mono black necro made top 32 in a modern chally? Sick let’s try it” it’s instead “oh look 8 Boros lists I guess that’s the only playable deck I’ll just play that”

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@SpiderSpaceMTG Let’s fucking GOOO Gabe! Hell yeah homie I’ll be rooting for ya!

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@BryanSchrempf @Davtaz98 @Etril @patxisanchez You want me to hold down the control key for the full duration of every single game? There should be a checkbox that prompts you every time you pass priority like mtgo, it can’t be that hard

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@MadAlzik @MTGOsalseo Yeah, it definitely needs retuning for amulet. I posted my amulet sb plan above but I could probably do better. What it really needs is a hoser sideboard target for amulet that’s persistable. Iona is 5c’s answer often, but I’m considering adding some elesh Norn moms to stop etbs

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

First league in ages, instant 5-0 with creativity. Deck is so much more cracked than people give it credit for, just needs fine tuning for any given meta. My one regret is no alt creature in the sideboard, was worried about and/or lost to a surgical a few times. Probably Emmisary

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@YooperNick 2 surgical, 4 consign, 2 thoughtsieze, 2 natures claim in, 3 push, 3 galv, 1 vamp vengeance, 3 wren out. Wren would stay in if I was running any boseiju but I’ve always found wren + boseiju a bit too slow against amulet compared to just running some better spot removal.

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

Tagging @fireshoes for clout, and @YungDingoMTG bc I was hoping to bump into him during the challenge and make him play this pile XD

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@youngpeezy8 Hell yeah brother!!

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@youngpeezy8 Case confinement is back on the menu babyyyyy

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@jfnmarono Hey, thanks! I don't have a sideboard explicitly written up yet, and I actually just made some dramatic changes - force of negation has felt mediocre, along with 4 meltdown being way too many. Shoot me a dm if you wanna join the creativity discord, we have a few grixis players!

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@Mike_The_Unreal @AdameMedia Yes, because the Smoot-Hawley tariffs were such a raging success… isolationism has never worked, and will never work for the U.S.

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@YungDingoMTG This one truly cost some blood sweat and tears 😂 Codie’s up next

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@realDonaldTrump Bro if the CATO INSTITUTE of all places says your insane right wing idea is a bad one it might be a bad one. We all learned nothing from Ed Stein in Ferris Bueller’s day off apparently. https://t.co/J54odnsAC7

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

There's recently been a lot of hype over at the Creativity discord with all these Modern unbans, between the banning of ring and the addition of faithless looting. If anyone wants a link to the discord, please PM me and we'd love to brew with you! The deck is looking VERY strong.

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@death_lighter @TandyMTG @EiJunCHNZhenYin Historically, all of the persist builds are mirror breakers (hehe) so I'd be interested to see what tools we actually want for the pseudo mirror out of 5 color, I'm assuming the countermagic will be key. It should be much better than spot removal there. Blue ftw?

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@death_lighter @TandyMTG @EiJunCHNZhenYin I certainly think so! I'm thinking Jund and Grixis are the ways to go, I think everyone is flocking to Jund but I think wren's overhyped especially with all the GY hate for the deck already. I think I want to be on blue over green

[Jack Torborg @jktorborg]

@TheWillHallExp Will Don’t you know!? GSZ can tutor for glistener elf! Surely this means infectc is tier 1 again 😜
