A friend and I both registered the new best deck in Pioneer, Seasons Past, for an RCQ yesterday and while I didn't have the best showing, he ran the tables the whole day and secured the invite for Atlanta!

Dear lord it feels like 50% of the RCQ tournament reports I see this season are 5 rounds with a bye and 2-3 homie scoops. Like dang, must be nice to have an invite after winning 2 actual rounds.
Top 4 yesterday, fell a little short of the invite but I straight up think Seasons Past is just the better version of Waste Not. Pillage the Bog is absolutely insane, multiple times it was just demonic tutor.
BG Seasons Past crushing after a rough round 1. Immediately lost the first round of top 8 to UW Lotus Field. Decklist link in the alt text.

For some context, I’m now fully moved to my new apartment and no longer under the same roof as my abusive ex. I feel like I can finally breathe and move on. If you ever need help in that kind of situation, I will do everything within my power to help 💜💜
@RhysticStudies
Part of the issue is also the amount of people who have responses like this that are just excusing it. If Terese Neilsen lost any future contracts with wizards and was ousted from the community for some questionable Twitter activity, Bradley should just be outright cancelled...
Not sure if my issue lies with pioneer feeling like doodie lately or me realizing I have issue with the current RCQ rules. Like I’m super happy my friends can keep playing, but late season invites being determined by how many blockers are at an event is kinda lame.
Officially got a job offer and received the official paperwork that my name change has been accepted!!! Maybe Garfield was wrong, Mondays seem kinda sweet
It’s absolutely wild how far I’ve come in a year. Last summer I was unspeakably nervous to present fem and now I can’t imagine going back. While sometimes I wanna kick myself for not figuring it out sooner, I’m so happy to be where I am 🏳️⚧️
Whenever I post these lists, people seem to super enjoy it, so how many people would be interested if I wrote a guide and put it up for a couple bucks?

Had some middling results for the last few RCQs and just wasn’t feeling myself going into todays. Decided to pay $30 and step into a Time Machine with one of my favorite standard decks ported to pioneer, BG Seasons Past Control.
This morning was one of those times where I got a good look at myself in the mirror and was a little taken aback just how far I’ve come in 4ish months since starting HRT and I’ve never been happier. Long road ahead, but progress and self love is there 💜🏳️⚧️

Hi, since I haven't seen anyone else suggest the page, Wizards has a product replacement page that might be of some help to you. Hope this gets resolved:
Had the dreaded coming out conversation with the person who I was most scared of it going sideways with. While it wasn’t optimal, it still went much better than I expected it to. I feel like I’ve earned a little flag on my name, as a treat. 🏳️⚧️
Wonder if I know enough people that I can simply show up to and RCQ and have my invite without having to play a match of magic just to prove a point (if this happens, I’ll still go LCQ and not play the RC unless I win one)
Ngl, when putting out applications job hunting not under my deadname, I kinda forgot about the part where I would have to go interview while dressed fem. I’m not nervous at all (she lies through her fucking teeth)
Finally put down Jund for an RCQ yesterday and played the hot girl deck, Scam. Only played 2 rounds at FNM before the event and managed to bang out a top 8. Actually unreal how good it is. Ty

Small Write-up on Pioneer RCQ yesterday. Deck felt gas the whole day! TL;DR 4-0-2 through swiss, lost in top 8 immediately in a tight 3 games to Mono W.

Doodling tokens for the homies always goes hard. Teammate getting compliments all day for the adorable rhino tokens kinda made my weekend. R1 opponents asked if I took commissions 🤣
Another weekend, another 3-1 into 3-3 brought to you by Jund Saga. Last 2 rounds were losses, but can’t stop living end when they just have it and r6 didn’t matter. Definitely kicking myself for the spew early vs Hammer tho when I had the game all but locked up if I was patient
I tried to tell y'all a year ago! It's hard to believe that fever dream of a list which spawned from me being disillusioned with the format served as a springboard for where the deck is today, and people are still getting invites with it!!! I fucking love Magic <3
I did it for you

. Got my invite with the worst deck I've ever qualified with.

While it’s a little bittersweet to see all my homies start their trek down to ATL today while I’m stuck at home sick, I’m happy to know they’ll all have better shots at the event cause I’m not there 💪
First RCQ in like a month and a half, so of course I woke up at 3am and couldn’t go back to sleep. If anyone sees me horrifically misplay today, no you didn’t.
My mental has been absolutely awful for the last week or more, playing some magic and hanging out with people this weekend is gonna be really welcome. Would really mean the world even just saying hi to people I haven’t seen in a while :)
Unsolicited advice for the day: just taking the time to listen to someone means so much. Don’t immediately jump to problem solving if someone is going through it. Most times people just want to feel seen and understood 💜
Honestly every time I get recognized as the Seasons Past girlie it makes my day. I think I’m gonna start carrying a bunch of em to sign for funsies if people find me at events <3
@ShudderTCG
G3 of t8, first time on Lotus. Proceed to resolve Ultimatum, win is in the bag. OP gives me the cards to cast, and I announce that I’m casting a Hidden Strings from my hand. Immediately look over at the Judge as she informs me I have exiled those cards and cannot cast them…
Ya girl is stuck at home with COVID, so my invite was deferred to Denver. However, super hyped to see all the homies playing magic today. Good luck to all my Va and
@SanctumOfAll
homies, you’re gonna crush it!
Me when the straight people at the function keep playing HOTTOGO on loop, but are fixing Watermelon Margaritas. Consider this a soon to be drunk Becca AMA
But like, what if I changed my preferred name at work so I stopped having to deadname myself in emails and in meetings. Wouldn't that be funny hahaha 👉👈
What’s the point of filling out a preferred name on an application if you’re gonna call me back for a phone interview and deadname me repeatedly?! Guess I just need to finally do all the paperwork and make it official
Woke up at 6, couldn’t go back to sleep, tummy ache, gonna drink a monster for breakfast. You might not like it, but this is what peak magic performance looks like
Let’s go, I’m so excited! Even if I scrub out, gonna get to hang out with my friends and meet some new people!! I know I don’t post selfies on here, but if you somehow recognize me, come say hi (I’m awkward as heck about approaching new people)!!
Got to go take a tour at the apt complex we are moving into in a month and oh my god it’s finally feeling real :))))))))))))) I’m so ready to be outta this place
So anyways, this banned and restricted announcement is really not going to do anything about mono g or the format health of pioneer on the whole. In this thread, I'll be analyzing why you should be choosing Seasons Past as you deck for the Regional Championship next week 🧵1/58
Moving on Monday!!! So excited, but whew there’s still so much to do. No time for prereleases, RCQs, or Destiny day 1 raiding cause I definitely didn’t procrastinate on packing 😬
3-0 6-0 FNM with ol Faithful Jund
2-0 v Abzan Samwise combo
2-0 v G Tron
2-0 v 5c Humans
Tarmogoyf and removal still good turns out. same 75 from Denver
While I haven't played a ton of Pioneer in the last few weeks, I did throw together a quick Seasons Past SB cheat sheet for most of the popular stuff. Not gonna promise everything is 100% correct, but always game to discuss :)
Mostly packed, truck reserved, cat threatened, girl still a little stressed. Still have some work to do, but I’m gonna feel so much better when this is done
Okay, either I’m a genius for this RCQ today or I’m signing up to just lose, we will find out soon enough. Def didn’t think I was registering this pile…
Literally renewed my license, checked the box to change my gender marker, and the girl didn’t update it. Oh well, guess I’m gonna have to update my license again in a few months once I move. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little bummed tho
