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 🤣
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!

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.

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...
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.
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?

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. 🏳️⚧️
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.

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
@fireshoes
. 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 💪
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 💜
@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…
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
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!
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 👉👈
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)!!
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
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
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 :)
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
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
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
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…
Just got back home and unpacked from
#TheGathering2023
and have gotta say, I really am looking forward to any events they put on in the future! So here’s my quick recap thread before I pass out!!!
@fireshoes
@d00mwake
what an absolute joke. I literally cannot believe the behavior for that level of play. the audacity and entitlement shown by Marc is a shame, thank god he didn't requal.
Alright, so I know people are upset about no action in Pioneer today. It can only mean one thing: Wilds of Eldraine contains Blood Moon. I will be taking no further questions at this time.
Been talking with a v cute girl for the last week straight and it is actually impossible to keep my good mood down. I feel like such a dork crushing as hard as I am :3

FYI, this is a real quick way to get a slow play warning in any COMP REL environment. You are allowed 1 pile shuffle per game to ensure that you have at least 60 cards in your deck and has to be randomized again afterwards:
I’ve never felt so small and awkward and out of place. There are so many players in that room so much better than I am, I’m usually able to shake it, but impostor syndrome hitting hard this weekend so far.
@evan_mtg
maybe this could be an official thing where players gained some rewards from registering for events/fnm and could get some digital profile or swag related. perhaps we could give them some score or something, "planeswalker points" if you will...
