cft is the goat as usual

We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Magic legend Kai Budde. His achievements in the game and community go beyond what we could say in one post. Our thoughts go out to Kai's friends and family in this moment.

proud to be one of kye's only losses lol
i kind of assume that i was maybe one of the worst possible matchups, partially because i think my deck was good into even the iww version of airbending, but mostly because i already knew what the card interdimensional web watch did and had brewed with it :P

Congratulations to Kye Nelson, winner of Magic Spotlight: The Avatar!
Nelson played Bant Airbending, saying "it's just secretly OP." It was a rogue choice, but it paid off as Nelson swept through a field of some of Standard's best decks on his way to his first Spotlight win.
Congratulations Kye!

tfw you call your deck "jeskai tempo" yo try to be more accurate to what it really is, but your paper decklist gets changed back to "jeskai control" anyways.
currently me and @essaria.bsky.social ate both 7-3

unhinged but also surprisingly hinged shower thought from random mtg theory discussion:
"tempo" is when a card could be answered but isn't
a "threat" is when a card can be answered and is
"unfair" is when a card can't be answered
