Was able to 3-1 a weekly for an ultima to give rona relic one last (small) hurrah before rotation, after missing two city of brasses in the finals this weekend (against a PT and a worlds competitor, thanks Seattle). List is somewhat scuffed but still v fun to play :)

@arbitraryarmor.bsky.social in first 👀👀👀👀

Slow play rules are designed so that players who play slowly aren't punished heavily and the stalling rules are designed to stop players from taking advantage of toothless slow play rules. It is not stalling to cast [[Divine Intervention]] and it is not stalling to play for a draw.

I don't disagree that I would cast the lightning bolt here, but this argument doesn't hold water to me - the stalling rules are specifically designed to prevent players feigning a slow pace of play in order to receive an advantage, this is made clear in the IPG 4.7 examples

Won a store champs with Omni! Have played just one event of DFT standard before this, but the deck carried. MUs:

RG Leyline – WW
Zur – WW
Doomsday – LL
UB – WLW
R – 🤝
-
Zur – WLW
Doomsday rematch – WW
Mirror – 🤝 (WLW for choice of promo)

Deck pic sans some borrowed cards: exercise for the reader

@fireshoes.bsky.social to share here as well :)

This is the sideboard guide that I used to qualify for the Pro Tour on Jeskai Energy! I hope that this helps anyone interested build plans for both Jeskai and Boros Energy :)

Baby's first PT!!!!
Shout-out @nikroulah for card lending and emotional support, shout-out Haven for the energy talk before the event, third bombardment owned and fourth phlage won the mirrors

Is this the reaction image that I stole and didn't credit, stolen and not credited ???

It was high enough in the past, I think that the people interested in degen combo have found new homes and people interested in playing good decks are playing energy

It comes out a lot but I generally think it's pretty good, I'm not particularly enamored with the idea of mainboard flame of anors or anything

Top 8 in the 92 player Modern 32 with Ruby Storm

SBs are disrespecting it too much atm, I think the deck is underpowered and too vulnerable to hate for serious events, but if people aren't going to play the endless silver bullets for it then it's a great choice.

Yes, this is Boros Energy with like 15-20 cards changed out of the 75 to attack the format in a different way and so that I can cast Winota. No arguments from me.

@fireshoes.bsky.social can i beg for clout here too 🥺

If the ring gets banned then boros won't have to play degenerate 4 mana draw spells to win the mirror lezgo (decklist in alt)
