I didn't double Q this season, and despite double qualifying last modern summer, this RCQ season has had my highest win rate. Feelin' p good about it and going to Baltimore. Here's a picture of sweet boi King Koopa.

I'm so grateful I'm qualified for Baltimore because I literally just punted game 3 of the finals for the Los Angeles Q lmao 💀🙈 Had the game won if my anxiety hadn't taken hold for 5 seconds. C'est la vie. I'm just glad Moonshadow has struck fear into the hearts of everyone the last 3 weeks.

Now that I'm q'ed for Baltimore, I'm either playing unhinged decks at RCQs or try to fine-tune Zoo. Ragavan never connects and Phelia is bad, so I tried something else yesterday. Most fun I ever had playing Zoo. Moonshadow + Practiced Offense won me 5 games. Maybe Los Angeles is a possibility

I won an RCQ with Domain Zoo 🥳 Had to lock in during the finals between losing game 1 and game 2 I mulled to 5, kept a 1 surveil land hand, and missed the follow-up for a few turns but thankfully had 1 mana spells to stave off defeat 😆 KEEP CALM, CAST KAVU, HOLD UP STUBBY D.

Two weekends in a row where I lost the Q finals with Boros Belcher, this time in Cincinnati super modern 1k. Was 4-0 and fumbled. P sure i had it round 6 game 3 and i got too antsy. Tough to know some match-ups. I really love the deck and had a good time overall. Also, friend made top 8 of the RC! 🎉

Today I lost the game 3 of an RCQ finals by activating Goblin Charbelcher and my opponent cast Untimely Malfunction to redirect it to me lololol. Fun times.

I almost made the MTG pro tour in 2014 when, after 10 rounds of a long day, I made a crucial mistake in the game 3 of a PTQ finals. I told myself I'd just do it again, but then wizards stopped PTQs, I became disillusioned with standard, swayed from the grind, etc.
I'm going to Q in 2026.

Play the same deck all season for no Q? 🤨
Play a deck I've never shuffled or practiced and win an RCQ? 🥹
Izzet Spellementals is such a funky lil' deck. Really had fun!! Why am I so addicted to big, dumb beaters for 2 mana? See you soon, Scion of Draco and Territorial Kavu.

I didn't really think too hard about this. Probably should include Collected Company as it hits both Spirits & Angels era. Should I include Nova Hellkite? Cavern of Souls kinda just embodies all this stuff, I guess. Boros Reckoner should be here for my first States top 4.

you want more women playing your game? you don't need to make pandering and patronizing themes, you just need to make it so that when they go to stores and events, they actually feel welcome and secure, and not just surrounded by a bunch of neanderthals who can't wait to talk down to the newcomers

What a weird timeline that I had 2 RCQ's left in the season to qualify, and I won both 😎🥹😭 I've never been to either Vegas or Houston!! Deck list in the comments. Welp, 4 regionals I q'ed for this year; let's get on this pro tour 👀 Tribal Flames has won way too many games tbh

Last week I won an RCQ on Domain Zoo with no reps 🙈😬 I just followed the philosophy of "it's a tribal flames/burn deck." It's a 4-of or zero. Kavu? That's a Tribal Flames. Ragavan? That's half a Flame. Phlage? Girl plz. Weird to finally take one down on a not-fringe deck.

Running decent w/ Bogles in modern for a few RCQ tops. Not bad for an off-the-meta pick. It's really good against Boros, Izzet, and Domain Zoo.

It's hard to trust people after going blind and realizing how few people will be there for me. Doesn't help a lot of people have moved away. Shout out to anyone with empathy or willingness to help the disabled & those clearly struggling.

I have a dream this summer I'll be at a garage sale and stumble upon a giant Nintendo 64 collection. As I go to grab it, another hand reaches out; it's the most beautiful woman in the world. She bats her eyelashes and tells me, "I saw it first, nerd." She punches me in the gut and leaves with it.

Here's my Minneapolis Regional Championship report:
Cori Steel Cutter is a messed-up magic card. I don't regret my deck at all. The gameplay was mostly fun, but every time I'd blow up their board or do something strong, I still died to an army of haste bodies the next turn. Fun time up here tho! 😊
