I'm shifting my focus to Pauper because RIW's 5k Invitational in December is great value with just 16 players to qualify. Eight major events to get me there. I did a Pauper writeup to prepare. Shares appreciated! #RIW

I wrote about Grixis Froggler in Modern. Riddler is great and can be paired with a ton of different threats. Free sideboard guide included! Shares appreciated as always =) #Riw

Judge question: at the end of five turns and there isn't a winner, is it allowed to use both hands and battlefields to determine a winner (assuming a draw is bad for both players)?

Another rcq another event we are calling up friends to try and hit 8. This is pathetic.
October 18, 2025 at 3:31 PM
Good points here. Mono Red rising quickly and many tournaments don't feature the homogenized Vivi metagame we see on coverage. I often see sentiment at the LGS level about being tired of the best deck without having ever played against it.
September 9, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Split top 4 of RCQ with Dimir. Riddler was a cool transformational sideboard plan I came up with later in the week when red decks have a bunch of removal for small creatures. Lost top 4 when we played it.

Just reiterating that Standard rotation *in paper* occurred with the Edge of Eternities prerelease yesterday. Be extremely careful of trusting sites that display legality, because they may be set for online rotation, which happens on Tuesday for Arena and MTGO. 😅

Going to draw into top 8 of the rcq. Coming off three top 4s in a row. Will see how far psychic frog carries me this time. Changed 1-2 cards from my sideboard guide. Continues to impress.
