Thought for a sec Hamuda wouldn't have anything sweet in the Prowess list, but then I see the Eddymurk Crab and realize I was worried for naught.

Updated my UG Guide with details on how to play against Prowess, Jeskai Blink, and Amulet Titan. Think the deck is a great choice in modern right now.

Fourth Quarter Sixers best team in the NBA, Third Quarter Sixers worst team in NBA History.

Justin Edwards playing out of his mind. Great to see.

Lost in Top 8 of the Modern Super with UGb Free Spells. Deck continues to feel great, with a major exception for Affinity. Found with Flux Riddler you are better with FoN than Flare, might go to 3 FoN, 2 Flare split moving forward.

Is Maxey the second best player in the East?

Sixers look so good offensively with Embiid and 4 ball handlers around him. Feels like their is consistent pressure on the rim.

VJ is playing really well, but Maxey being one of the best off ball players in the NBA is such a cheat code.

Wrote up a general guide to UG Ritual in Modern. No SB guide in there at the moment, might add something like that later.

I wonder if the Simic player knows I ran 3 Jackal, 2 Beastbinder and 3 Multiversal Passage because I didn't own anymore of those cards.

Yeah, having some GY hate would be nice. I just copied the list from a league dump. Online I think has had dropping numbers of Goryo's, so Endurance mostly fights Phlage. But that matters. No Shardless also makes it very hard to Evoke, also why no FoV.

Tried out egadd2894 Flux UG. Went 4-0 in the prelim, though one win was a timeout in a close game 3. Riddler is very strong, and playing them solves some issues of dealing with opposing riddlers. I think UG is the best deck in Modern, unsure how to best build it.

4-0 in a Prelim with UGb in Modern. Deck continues to be fairly solid to me, just sort of need to not die the first 2 turns and then you usually are doing great things. Need to have better plans in a couple matchups, but think this deck is quite good.

Lost in Top 8 of the Modern Challenge with UGb. Deck feels great in some matchups, and quite poor against Affinity. First time playing it, so might not be approaching every matchup correctly. Seems generally viable to me though.

JJJ alongside Maxey I think would be awesome. Also see zero chance of that happening anytime soon.

I am fairly sure registering 4 Mako 7 Discard Permanents is fine in basically every combination.

I thought cftsoc's list from Baltimore was the best list against the mirror, though the lack of hard removal main is not ideal for facing non Vivi decks.

I think Talent replaces FOMO and Scholar. If you cut Mako you make the Vivi Turns less explosive and remove the ability to have an aggro draw. Basically I think cutting Mako from the Main is always a mistake, but the discard outlets in the deck have a ton of flexibility.

I think you need to play Mako as a relevant 1 mana play. You can probably cut some of the other discard dudes for 1-2 Duelists. They were good against UG at least.

Tough loss, but think Sixers played well. Defense actually looked good in the second half, which is good.

VJ gets aggressive, good things happen.

Great Sixers win. The defense is a major issue, but the team is much more tenacious than last year and the offense looks good.

How will PG, McCain, and Watford fit into the Sixers new fast pace offensive identity?

Lost in Top 8, still not a bad result. Need to figure out what the PT format is now.

Top 8d Baltimore Spotlight with UG. Been running unreasonably hot, but deck also isn't bad.

MainDeck 3 Floodpits Drowner 4 Botanical Sanctum 4 Willowrush Verge 2 Azure Beastbinder 3 Keen-Eyed Curator 5 Forest 3 Jackal, Genius Geneticist 4 Llanowar Elves 4 Innkeeper's Talent 4 Gene Pollinator 4 Breeding Pool 3 Multiversal Passage 1 Tishana's Tidebinder 4 Spyglass Siren 1 Soulstone Sanctuary 3 Pawpatch Recruit 2 Tyvar, the Pummeler 1 Snakeskin Veil 4 Ouroboroid 1 Quantum Riddler Sideboard 1 Floodpits Drowner 2 Tishana's Tidebinder 4 Repulsive Mutation 2 Unable to Scream 3 Dragon Sniper 2 Insidious Fungus 1 Quantum Riddler

So, keep in mind I left a Jackal at home. You should play 4, but Quantum Riddler also very good.

8-1 at Baltimore with UG. Deck is fine, I am running hot. Hopefully run hot tomorrow too.

Debate isn't a format to ascertain ground truth, so it is meaningless in terms of who is right. It is a skill independent of the truth, and as such shouldn't influence your beliefs in any manner.

I think this is a good snapshot for right now, but I think waiting to see how he is viewed after a couple years in office if he wins is more instructive. AOC got more popular as was discussed in this piece for instance. Mainly, I would take zero conclusions either way for national Dems from NYC.

Wentz wasn't that bad after the ACL tear either, it was the Seattle playoff game that ended his tenure as a NFL starter.
