I definitely have a lot of room for improvement, but I’m happy with how today went.

Played in my first RCQ today, EOE limited.

My sealed pool was decent, but nothing crazy. Was able to make top 8 for EOE draft. Happy to say that I made finals and earned an invitation to one of next years RCs.

Lost G3 in the finals, but I think the last two games were pretty competitive.

Lost R1 to GW. Third game went late and was somewhat close.

Won R2 to RG. Almost every game went to top deck mode. Opponent played really well, but I was a bit luckier on the draws.

Won R3 to UR. G1 my oppo was flooded. G2 Seedship Agrarian took the game. Favorite uncommon in the set.

Saturday prerelease p1!

Played BG this morning with a completely colorless top end. My goal was to be a bit removal heavy until Thrumming Hivepool was online.

A bit of a writeup in the reply.

Friday Prerelease decks!

Found some free time between the two events today to eat and more importantly post yesterday’s decklists.

First event I played RGW and RG in the second event.

Both events I went 2-1 with the loss in the last round.

On my way to two more prerelease of #MTGEternities!

Didn’t have time to post yesterday’s decklists, but I’m going to try and post all four tonight!

Had a great time at #MTGEternities prerelease today! Went 2-1 both events. Starter each event strong, but faced stronger opponents in round 3.

Played RGW for the first event and RG for the second.

Going to post deck photos tomorrow morning!

11am and 4pm prereleases tomorrow!

Learned my (new) LGS gives out these sweet pins for undefeated players!

Really happy with the 2x Starting Town, Summon: Knights of Round, and full-art Aerith Gainsborough.

The Starting Towns will be great for my growing standard collection.

Pictures from last night's 3-0 draft as well as pulls from prize packs!

My winning play for the 3-0 was pretty awesome. Aerith Rescue Mission, tapping their board, followed by Unexpected Requesting their largest creature, which allowed me to equip a Warrior's Sword for exactly lethal.

Just barely made it back in town on time to play in the last #MTGxFinalFantasy draft. My first 3-0 draft ever! Played a fun Boros deck.

Pictures will come tomorrow!

Can't wait for Edge of Eternities pre-release this weekend!

Second photo includes rares, full-art, and foils. Didn't pull anything too exciting this week 😭

After a three week mathematics research trip, I finally got to get back into drafting #MTGxFinalFantasy!

Drafted an okay Dimir deck today. Went 2-1 after losing R1 to a strong Izzet deck.

Did not get to 1-shot anyone with Odin, but it was easy removal bait 😂

Looking forward to playing FNM!

Interested to hear how many Jumbo Cactuar you fling with this deck 🌵

Unfortunately, in all 9 games, I never got to play the Ancient Adamantoise 😔 It either got milled or I didn't draw it.

I did triple get to triple a creatures power and toughness for a winning attack twice tonight with Tifa's Limit Break 🥊🥊🥊

While drafting I tried considering other colors, but I kept getting good Green cards that I couldn't help to pick. Didn't get any good evasion, but I think I got a lot of what Green likes to do in Magic.

Participated in my first paper #MTGxFinalFantasy draft today. Moreover, this is my first paper draft in over 10 years.

Opened pack 1, pick 1 with Ancient Adamantoise and committed to Green. To everyone's surprise at the table tonight, I ended up drafting Mono-G and finished 2-1!

Deck Below!

Live now with some Age of Empires 2 team games!

May play some #MTGA with some Final Fantasy limited later tonight!

Finally cracked open my prize packs from #MTGxFinalFantasy prerelease with @quela-m.bsky.social tonight!

Some really great pulls such as Ancient Copper Dragon Showcase, Vivi Orniter, and Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER.

Pictures include all the cards I pulled (including from sealed) that are over $3.

G3 I had a little luck on my side, oppo missed a land drop a couple of times and never found Blue. Was able to control them out long enough while I put together a strong board state.

Very happy to go undefeated today for an additional 3 booster packs!

G2 I was not able to deal enough damage or have enough answers before Atraxa hit the field. I had an answer for Atraxa, but the 10 revealed cards were too much.

Round 2 was extremely intense. G1 countered their Yuna one turn and they dropped Atraxa the next turn. Was able to remove Atraxa before it attacked. Was able to tap down their Odin before I died to player death touch. Barely pulled of a W with Golbez's mill ability the turn after they played Sin.

Round 1 was against Selesnya where my opponent had two copies of Chocobo Racetrack which was very strong.

Round 2 my opponent was playing WUBG with an insane pool including: Atraxa, Yuna, Sin, Black Crystal, and Odin.

Got back from my last day of #MTGxFinalFantasy prerelease. Unfortunately, only four players participated so today was only two rounds. That being said, I was the 2-0 player today!

I played a Dimir control/graveyard deck that played a lot better than I thought it would.

Pictures and details below

Forgot to post the pictures 😅

For Saturday, I played Boros equipment again, but splashing blue for Absolute Virtue and some sideboard cards like Hope Estheim and Astrologian's Planisphere.

Very happy with how the deck played. Third round went to game three and was one turn from playing Absolute Virtue.

Just got back from #MTGxFinalFantasy prerelease Day 2! Tonight was a win-a-box. 8 participants so we planned to cut to top 4 after 3 rounds. I won the first two rounds to secure a spot in top 4. We decided to split the box, so I finished with 9 prize packs!

Will post details about my deck later.

Was not able to post between rounds. Everything moved much quicker tonight. I am going to post results in a separate post.

On my way to #MTGxFinalFantasy prerelease Day 2. Tonight I’ll be playing in a win a box.

Will post results in the comments!

#MTG

Forgot to mention 😅

This was a successful 3-0 list for me! Very happy to receive four more FF packs alongside my sealed packs!

Nice! My powerhouse was Gilgamesh. Ripping 1-2 Job Select equipments each trigger was game changing.
