Is this real life?

It was an honor and a privilege running the testing process with @Corey_Burkhart and bringing together all these wonderful magicians for this wild ride. Congrats to those that achieved their goals, I'm going back into retirement but maybe you'll see me back another time 🫡

It's been over five years since playing a Pro Tour and I couldn't be more excited to be back in action with past testing partners and new friends!

@DroodHT I think the Limited PTQs they have been running for a little while now could serve your goals

Deck pics from the PTQ! I started UR in G1s in Sealed, frequently boarding into UB splash red in grindy situations with no mill threat. The packs and color situation were difficult in the draft but I made a lane. Both decks got to do disgusting things with full engines assembled!

Thanks to the kindness of one of the Limited and Magic community 🐐s, I'm finally back to the PT! Many fun battles against Sam in the past, but the only battle this time was trying to hold back tears of joy when Sam gave me the good news. The other PTQ was eventful, see text

[Sam Black @SamuelHBlack]

Deck and cards I sided in from the PTQ draft. I’m not sure if the push the limit plan was good. I did win with it, but I also sided it out (with back on track and some vehicles) to go more aggro and discard more lands. Deck was very good either way.

Conceded the finals of the PTQ to Mark Jacobson. He really wanted the invite and I mostly just feel like I should prove that I can still do it. I’ve been close basically every MagicCon, I’ll take a different one.

@TiuChainz Bradley Cooper is collaborating with the owner of Angelo's, one of the most popular cheesesteak spots in Philly in recent years, and their sandwich is basically the same as in the photo (including the seeded roll).

My next event will be the Limited PTQs at MC Chicago. After looking through all the Standard legal cards in Scryfall countless times, the Limited prep will be a nice change of pace. See y'all there and let me know if you find any success with any of these ideas!

[Mark Jacobson @markjmtg]

I went deep into Standard for #SpotlightFoundations. Knight Pixie, Enigma Jewel Talent, true Mice, and WB Midrange were decks almost good enough, just needing more polishing and testing. I made an account with the same name at that Other Place, so follow me there. Decks below! 🧵

[Mark Jacobson @markjmtg]

Idea: beat UB, red aggro, and Pixie, board heavily for decks like Domain and Caretakers. Felt solid, but I preferred to be more proactive for the GP. Had an extra Tome and a Sunfall originally. The End would fit the main except for clashing at the 4 mana spot.
