If I hear the phrase "My breach matchup is good" or "I'm 50/50 with breach" any more, I'm going to lose it. No. Your average game is dogwater vs breach's average. If you don't want to play it (me too!), that's cool, but don't make up fake stats b/c you're in for a rude awakening this weekend.

Set aside the brews for a weekend and top 8ed another RCQ with Domain (Nass's List) W 2-0 Domain W 2-0 Gruul Mice L Homie scoop - tested Modern W 2-1 Esper Pixie W 2-0 MonoR Mice ---- L Homie scoop to test Modern the rest of the night. Looking forward to brewing more std after Charlotte!

All of my MDFC foils lay perfectly flat - they don't pringle because they balance out. Why isn't the generic Magic back just foil nowadays for all foils to fix this recurring issue? Genuinely curious what to cost increase is to do this?

Stock Up in Jeskai Chant 💹

whew buddy, the Domain Zoo mirror can be a frightening place. 5 second before disaster (end of opponents turn here).

As I was saying #PTAetherdrift

Retooled Jeskai Chant to be slightly lower to the ground and am testing some flex spot cards (e.g. JTMS vs. Memory Deluge). Got another trophy on the first league with the updates against a pretty decent metagame spread, so maybe there's something here.

Some people just can't handle the chant @mtgosalt.bsky.social

Sam combo enjoyers rejoice!

Hey Guys, my deck is a bracket 2 but its pilot is a bracket 5 😏

New @magiconline.bsky.social patch notes drop and they don't mention this little guy a single time. Is there any hope in the pipeline for this lag?

My build of Jeskai scepter chant - my top option for Charlotte at the moment. Been running into Mill a ton in my trophy matches lately (unwinnable), but finally dodged it tonight. Some notes in thread:

Team thought there was a somewhat interesting use for Wheel of Sun and Moon stopping "choose from among them" mill effects (details in thread - see 701.13c.). Then we learned that Malevolent Rumble simply reveals/chooses, and doesn't mill/choose among the milled cards! Wierd for Green right?

These newest builds of B/W seem to absolutely dumpster breach, have like 13 SB cards for Eldrazi, and outgrind boros eh? If one or more top 8s the showcase, do people panic right before Charlotte? Cinema baby! moxfield.com/decks/35lD8e...

Reminder: This card can be cast, from exile, during your turn 1 upkeep Every. Single. Game. Multiple times! Something about seeing a physical interpretation of it makes it more meaningful to me, so thought I'd share that thought.

I think I've found my Modern deck for Charlotte, just need a few more tweaks to be in a good spot🌶️ I missed most of the last Modern RCQ season so I'll be LCQing - going to be fun!

The Fauna Shaman promo is one of my favorites in recent memory. The Innkeeper is one of my least favorites lol.

Oh AND Ryo Ito top 8ed the Champion's Cup (Japan/Korea RC) with it too!? Great day to be a Jeskai fan :)

I won my first PTQ in 2007 with Scepter Chant. Watching Patrick Wu go 7-1-1 today in Portland's Modern RC with the archetype has me FIRED TF UP! (P.S. Anyone know if Patrick is on Bluesky?)

Redshift, Rocketeer Chief in DFT could be a neat (FNM level) buildaround in Modern, as it combos with Umbral Mantle to go infinite, and Mantle combos with Crackdown Construct for redundancy. Going to resist the urge to splash Stoneforge Mystic to start, and go from here. Moxfield in replies!

Mull to 6 on the draw v boros. What do you put back?

This is my all-time favorite infinite ETB combo in Modern - pair with your favorite guide of souls or altar of the brood. Is it good? Absolutely not. Do I plan to shoehorn it into b/w blink and put Overlord of the Balemurk under my Relic Warder and dare opponent to disupt me? Absolutely.

Something like this if you wanted to play Town/Talent in the list. Enigma Jewel leving Stormchaser's talent gets your Town loop online very quickly.

The artifact-pod chain for Repurposing Bay is bad in Standard; rather than going big, I think it's supposed to just end at 3 with the goal of getting as many Simulacrum Synthesizers into play as possible. Then have removal for fliers. Where I'm going to start: moxfield.com/decks/EgeLCw...
