Ran Elves to the top of our "Off the Top Rope" modified Premodern event! Any card which involved touching a deck (drawing, searching, milling, shuffling) was disallowed. No IDs. Rounds moved quickly without all that pesky shuffling. Great event with 100% of entry to charity🏆

Continued to tweak Parfait and pulled in another 3-0 at our #premodern weekly! 🎣
This time I played against Pitless Rack, Enchantress, and Enchantress
Explored cutting AKs, cutting Zurs, and adding a more surprising SB pivot

Took down the Premodern weekly on UW Tide 🏆
Haven’t 3-0’d a weekly since March. Been getting whooped in the finals every time 🙃
This week I played like a donkey, while pairing into all killers, and still somehow got there. Deck carried, but we take those 🤷🏼♂️

🏆 From the "Unchained" side event at Lobstercon, in which each player "unbanned" one card from the Premodern ban list for their deck. Turns out jamming FOW into the best deck is pretty good. The Remoras in the board did a lot of work! 🦈

My first Legacy deck!
I drove this Death and Taxes deck to Top 4 at SCG Legacy Open Oakland 2013. Legacy was a really special format around this time. The event was dominated by True Name Nemesis, foreshadowing the impact of Commander cards on the format #mtglegacy
