Bant Tempo 4-1. Haven't played many leagues in the Flow State meta, but accruing value and casting Monastery Mentor is always muchos fun ๐.
Beat UB Tempo, Tempo Doomsday, ANT, UB Unearth; loss vs Lands :(.
@mcsammon19 It seemed like a good late game bomb than can potentially generate some value turn two. Thereโs some mild synergy with Price of Freedom too.
Iโve seen a few other Jeskai control lists with a 2 Snappy, 1 WST split which could well be better since Snappy has higher impact early.
Wan Shi Tong Miracles 4-1.
Beat UR Tempo, TES, Rb Stompy, Echo Breacher; loss vs UR Tempo.
Pop Quiz felt surprisingly good despite chewing up three sideboard slots. I used all of the lessons this league.
I'd like to get a Mystic Sanctuary in here - maybe over the 3rd Tundra.
In sunny Falkirk today for paper Legacy with Owl Fit.
Affinity 1-2
Affinity 1-1-1
Elves 2-0
BUG Storm 2-1
Bant Beanstalk 0-2
Average finish, but, as always, cool to play some in-person wizard squares ๐.
In London this weekend playing Premodern Quiet Spec Oath.
Swiss 3-2 losing to Tinker/Fling and Dreadnought; beat Quirion Dryad, UB Tog, Words of Wind brew.
Then beat Tinker/Fling and lost to Dryad in the top 8.
First time playing paper Premodern - great fun!
Played Drain Gifts to a 3-5 finish at EW Vintage.
The deck was super-fun to play. Pilot fatigue was real by the end though ๐ด!
Again shout out to my amazing opponents. Itโs just awesome slinging Vintage in paper :).
Already looking forward to next year.
ใพใๆฅๅนด!
7-4 Legacy EW Japan with UB Tempo.
Props to a great venue, amazing country, absolutely lovely opponents, and to Nightโs Whisper for the sweet, sweet card draw.
Dropped after the round 11 loss to play Vintage tomorrow!
7-Cast ๐
I'm not sure you can go too far wrong with Pinnacle Emissary, a bunch of Baubles and Thoughtcast. I've cut Sais from the previous list.
I didn't actually draw or cast Uthros Research Craft this league ๐ข.
@NossmanM Agree ๐ฏ re FoW. There's so much Karn Forge when I play and I find Emry decks need Forces pre-board to stand a chance in the match.
At the same time Emissary also feels like it needs more fuel to *really* pop off. Maybe the card can perform better in an overall worse deck?
Emry Emissary 4-1.
Best TES, UB Reanimator, a fair GB deck and Karn Forge. Loss vs Lands.
Pinnacle Emissary is a lot of fun -- need to grab a paper playset. I tried some of the more stock lists and felt they were a little too payoff-heavy so am testing Sai as a second enabler.
@NossmanM There's so many directions to take the deck... Looking at MtgTop8, somebody did top 8 a challenge with 2x Synthesizer and 4x Memory Guardian.
Cyrus also played a sweet Echo of Eons/Emissary list on his channel recently which I might try exploring next.
4-1-1 Eternal Mania Vintage into top 8 with Dark Petition Storm.
Found the list on the internet. Brain melting fun: 10/10; would play again!
Beat Doomsday, UB Lurrus Frog, Raker Shops, and maybe another Frog deck?
Losses vs UW Energy and Esper Frog (top 8)
4-4 overall at Eternal Mania with the low-effort deck choice. Great event, relaxed vibe and tasty beers!
Beat UB Reanimator, Omni, BUG Birds, Painter Forge.
Losses vs Karn Forge, Green Nadu, UR Cutter, Red Stompy.
