Back-to-back challenge top 8 with Prowess (Izzet and Grixis) 🔪

The Grixis list felt slightly better overall. The main issue with the archetype is that it tends to get less functional after sideboarding. TS is a lot better than spell pierce in that regard !

I'm not really excited by that one. The deck is already a bit clunky as it is. I don't think that we can afford more "tapped lands".

Subtlety has also be mediocre,I think I'm going to cut it going forward. So I don't really feel the need for more blue pitchable cards!

Shardless is nice but I believe that it puts too much pressure on deckbuilding. The "stock" list plays too many 3 drops imo.

One mana interaction lets you interact on the draw. On top of that, it means that you are better at double spelling and playing on 2 lands. That's why I prefer this build!

Well played, this is a smart build 🤝

Another solid challenge run with Simic bad cards today 🐍👁️

Undefeated in swiss, then I lost in semis to @keps94.bsky.social on broodscale.

Deck is still impressive and should probably be taken more seriously !

Bonne chance Chloé 🔥

1-2 neoform is an interesting idea, I'll give it a try (and I guess it helps to justify clarion conqueror !)

Shardless is great but interacting on turn 1 on the draw is too important imo. After playing about 10 games with the deck, I realized that I always had to cut Shardless in game 2/3 because I needed access to more cheap interaction. So it made a lot of sense to just cut it

I've considered a light splash, but couldn't think of a good enough reason to do so. The MU I'd really like to improve is prowess, maybe something like Eidolon of Rethoric could be nice !

I think Ouphe is already good enough rn, I don't really feel the need for something like Clarion Conqueror !

9th in today's challenge with Simic "bad cards" !

Despite being slightly clunky, this deck is doing something quite powerful. I was skeptical at first, but I've been doing surprisingly well (68% WR across 5 challenges). It's also very fun, so I'd definitely recommend it 👁️!

Long day at the office today, double queue is exhausting 🫡

- 7-2 in the pauper super qualifier with stock monoU terror 🐲
- Top 8 in the modern challenge with an intriguing simic birthing ritual pile 🌶️

Long Highway: PT Final Fantasy Tournament Report I got inspired to write something after reading tournament reports from Jacob Milchman (FrowningTable) and the rest of the Scrapheap crew —…

Been trying to do more writing/reflection this year. Here's a piece on PT Final Fantasy:

medium.com/@tangrams/lo...

I'm back to Belcher after a month of mostly playing storm in paper events!

Now that prowess is a lot less popular, I believe that this deck is probably the best choice (at least on mtgo).

Since I picked the deck back 🫡:
* 3 gold trophies across 6 leagues
* A modern challenge final
* 7-1 in paper

I made a mistake in my last one! Ken and Ian were swapped into the wrong spot, but I’ve fixed it now!

GO WATCH THE PRO TOUR ITS LIVE RIGHT NOW

It's a deliberate choice ! This deck really struggles to get 3+ creatures into play for Dread Return. Narco/Therapy/Bridge/Poxwalkers makes 2 creatures, but you need a third one. Balustrade spy is the best payoff for that reason. Destroy the evidence is a 5 mana payoff that doesn't instantly win

I'd protect him at all costs 🥹

Duel Commander Trial victory with 5c Ooops (7-1) 🏳️‍🌈 The Wandering Minstrel is a much better commander than Esika, it's a solid upgrade !

I don't really have any important tournaments in the coming weeks, so I'm just trying to enjoy magic 🥰

Top 8 in the modern french cup with Gruul Storm 🌩️ I barely made it to day 2 after a tough start, then kept winning to lock in the top 8 🫡

I had a great time hanging with my friends and the french modern community 🥰

One bullet was enough ! I won a big RCQ in Paris today with Gruul Storm 🌩️ Storm is definitely not as good as it used to be, but I was expecting a lot of energy/prowess.

Is tireless tribe actually decent right now ? It's probably the pauper deck I've enjoyed playing the most

I won a DC trial with that nonsense pile 5c oops list I've been working on as a fun project (7-1 record). Despite looking like a pile, this deck can win on turn 3/4 pretty consistently 🏳️‍🌈
