Chalice of the Void on X = 1, Trinisphere, opponent also had 2 Wishclaw Talismans in play (that I gave them, obviously) for much of the game. Opponent presenting lethal on board, I basically have to win this turn

Chalice of the Void on X = 1, Karn, Trinisphere all in play. Basically impossible to win this game if they get another turn; I had to win this turn.

Top 8ed today's Modern Challenge with Twiddle, haven't been posting every top 8 since it's still the same decklist and Ring is about to get banned so it doesn't really matter, but I was especially proud of some of the games I played today.

I won all 3 of the games pictured.

This month, I am hosting a fundraiser for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the world’s largest nonprofit funder of Parkinson's research. Every $5 enters you to win a Marvel Secret Lair. This cause means a lot to me and I would appreciate if you repost/share this link: give.michaeljfox.org/butmakeitcat

I think your line was good. Assuming you knew my decklist (from when you Stone Brained in round 4) and you had the other Stone Brain in hand, you know that my only wincons are Thassa's Oracle and Wish, so getting rid of both is good. If you don't then yeah naming Lotus before I have it is strong too

GGs! Can’t believe you had turn 1 chalice for one 4 times, and your game 2 hand in semis was insane lol

My round 4 & semifinals opponent played turn 1 Chalice of the Void for X = 1 on turn 1 in 4/5 games we played. And after that in SF G2 played turn 2 second Ugin's Lab into Stone Brain + activate, then turn 3 second Stone Brain + activate lmao

Today on trans day of remembrance, I am thankful to have the people I do in my friend circle and my family.
I’m lucky to have them and broadly thankful they exist in the world.

If today applies to you and we’re not close, I’m glad YOU exist too.

Trans rights are human rights.
