If you or your Pro Tour team found my articles about DFT limited at all helpful (even a, "wow, is this guy wrong, let's talk about it!") don't forget about me when that eWallet hits ☺️

MagicCon Chicago haul for the weekend, including some real sweet stuff from Propaganda to give away on Mana Club. Maybe I'll have some readers rotisserie draft it? P1P1 Malört stickers, obviously. Going to write up a big post about Chicago, cheating, my game loss, etc for Wednesday.

I cannot stress how much fun stuff is happening in Chicago. If Command Zone Fatigue sets in, @caljones.com and I talked about your myriad options for funsies, competitive events, and value.

A mull to five away from a third trophy. Here, I tried to stay open to green for as long as possible and held through a pretty gnarly pack two. Blades was interesting with the 4/1's - figured it was worth a shot. Don't forget your vanillas are legendary. Lost a Terri in the worst way. 😔

Trophy #2 with Discard, started on Monument and once again was in the right lane. The Aetherspark won every game it came down in - definitely think it's worth keeping an eye on but I'm high on it. Spell Pierce was in to protect Mako but keeps doing work as a "counter target 🏎️."

I did a massive roundup of your thoughts on Brackets, outlined three changes I would make, and took a look at the financial fallout of the announcement. @gavinverhey.bsky.social promised you there would be no shortage of content about this. Here are 3000 words: manaclub.substack.com/p/25-brackets

Finished my first draft for a trophy! Started with Aatchik and things flowed, but speculated on some WX duals which really paid off with Tune Up, a card that really overperformed. Nearly milled out three games at 45 cards, so something I'd keep an eye on.
