disappointing 2-3 in my first AC. r5g3 i sac a cauldron familiar in response to rip and it went to exile. me and my opponent were sure rip was still on the stack. oh well.
i'll queue for the next one. hopefully its a real format. rooting for teammates Ivan and Alex tmr🙃
ran the qualifier for AC last weekend. 7-0 with nutted jeskai on day 1, deck built itself. [first image]
struggled in day 2 but managed a 2-2 waffling between mediocre RWu and BWu. still unsure which build is better.

everyone freaking out about modern and the bans happening there
meanwhile im freaking out cuz i missed testing vs historic format mainstays like mono white lifegain…
fml this ac might be rough
@GuI_Dukat so idk sorry for ranting but im quite passionate about this topic. i would love to play this game for a living but thats just impossible if you dont queue for the single worlds that happens annually.
subscribe to my patreon <3 (replays and notes from chals have been posted)
i drove to pt sos, shared lodging, skipped testing house, and im still down money post mincash. i wanna see my friends at rc dc but theres no reason for me to drop $1k on a weekend where i basically hope to break even.

Pro Tour prizing is increasingly lagging behind the cost to attend. Ken is spending $2400 for flight and hotel. He's have to finish in the Top 28 to cover that (based on the prize structure for Las Vegas). #mtg
@GuI_Dukat i play the game cuz i enjoy competing. but itd be nice to have success rewarded beyond patreon (crowdfunded)… im left attending minimal events while looking to poker - not because i enjoy it more but because there is actual money and incentive for success.
