I was scrubbing through the main SCG event coverage from yesterday and found myself writing this post on camera.

4-3 at the 5k for those concerned.

I took a quick scroll to see what was going on in the zeitgeist before I posted, and there's much more important things to be paying attention to at the moment.

Kind of blew through things in a rush. I'm dead for the RCQ tomorrow. 1-1 three times in a row. Running it back tomorrow for the 5k.

Out of the first after two matches. 2-0 vs bant kona, 0-2 vs Simic Boid, which should've been an auto win for this deck x.x.

LCQ 2 just started, round one bye. Yippee.

MTG Regional Championship Portland starts this weekend, and even though I didn't qualify for this one (my win was for next season) I'm gonna be hitting up the tournament to attempt to qualify through the LCQ system in the morning. I'm going to use this thread for results as the day progresses.

Normalize blocking accounts for cold messaging "hi"

Some of these AI bros never acted out insanely gripping, dramatic scenes with their beanie babies and it shows.

The scalper bubble crashed because of the holiday print runs, so you can get a lot of sealed product at MSRP right now.

It's the Stonks meme, but extremely poorly edited so that the stock broker kind of has Aang's tattoos and Momo is replacing the market arrow going up. Truly this is MOMO STONKS

I forgot i made this at the #magicthegathering prerelease

I cannot be stopped

Eliminate used this for a recent Audio Combat beat battle but I don't remember if anyone specifically made Baile Funk with it lol.

If you read this far, thank you. I just wanted to get these thoughts and this story out to the public. Remember to trust your instincts and in all your passions and hobbies, enjoy the people around you, especially those who lift you up. It's cliche, but I love this game and community. 🖤🤍💚

I played it on Friday and went 1-4, losing a lot to just getting flooded, but after seriously considered switching again. A good friend told me not to give in to recency bias, and less than 24 hours later I'm shaking hands with my finals opponent in the RCQ.

I thought it would be a fun budget deck. I did some testing hands and instantly fell in love. My go to deck before rotation was boros convoke and this just felt like a diet version, but with less inflection points since nearly everything could be cast at the end of my opponents turn.

- figure out decisions made by other people. I originally planned on running a list built around Firebender Ascension and Arabella. I couldn't sleep last Sunday night and started throwing as many functional copies of Resolute Reinforcements into a list on Archidekt on my phone...

The last bit of this is a little more technical and a bit of a humble brag: My dream always was to win with something I designed and honed. I think 'netdecking' is GOOD and absolutely a tool players should use. My favorite thing is brewing and building in the space and looking at other decks to-

And since my life is just an anime sometimes. The RCQ I won at was of course at my home store, surrounded by the same people who pushed me forward. Those who stuck around long after being eliminated, and those who will hopefully be joining me at the Regional Championship.

Reasonably I've spent the last two years (with a lil unemployment gap 🙃) fighting to qualify for a regional championship. Along the way I accomplished my original goal: meet new people, make new friends, the actual important long term result that goes beyond cardboard and lightning bolts to the face

What i didn't know was how extremely stacked Portland is with players, I'll simply point to the most recent Regional and Spotlight results, and how much representation we already have in this year and next year World Championship. This lit my spark much brighter and I fell right back into things.

After playing at least once at every LGS i could feasibly get to, I found my home at a store named Disc Heroes. Many of the players there had or were trying to qualify for RCs and beyond, and once they learned I used to play at bigger tournaments, began to convince me to do the same.
