I qualified for the World Championship 🥳
After a very rough cube draft, I managed to 3-0 constructed playing Neobrand 🦖I had a pretty accurate read of the metagame and neoform looked like a really solid choice!
Thanks to the parisian cube community and team Grindstone 🫶

I played 3 modern challenges this week and I made it to the finals all three times (win, split, split !) 🦖🏆
I've been thinking a lot about neobrand, so I decided to write a guide before the RCQ season starts. It should be out in a few weeks, I have a lot to say 🤓

I won today's challenge with Neobrand, 3rd top in a row🦖
This deck reminds me a lot of pioneer Amalia. You are doing the most powerful thing in the format, so your opponent is always forced to respect your combo. It gives you a lot of room to craft a gameplan and apply it 🫡

This is the SB plan I've used to 3-0 the constructed portion of the mocs!
I built this decklist for a field made of jeskai/esper blink, prowess and boros energy
I received a lot of questions about the ice-fang package, this should give you a good idea of when to bring it 🐍

I finally got to play my first Standard games, with a fairly stock build of Simic Cub. I lost in top 4 to the mirror 🫡
I faced a lot of jeskai control, it's unclear if the matchup is actually bad. They have a lot of good answers, but their deck seem to have many issues

Back to the mtgo streets with a decklist very similar to the one I ran in the mocs!
7-1 finish in a challenge, I died in the semis to energy, which proved to be a close matchup
This configuration is pretty good but it might need some changes for the broader metagame :)

Duel commander trophy with this silly Creative Technique list I've built 🧑🎨🏆
The concept is to cast a 6 mana cascade spell on turn 4 by using at least 2 of your 27 sol lands. After cascading into technique/trickery, you'll try to cast most of your deck, just like in legacy!

RC Antwerp didn't go my way unfortunately🥲
I put a lot of time and energy to prepare this event working with La Forge (french grinders) and grindstone (my team) 🤝
I'm trusting the process, I've improved a lot as a player and a testing partner. I know that it's going to pay off at some point!

I really like watching my games against streamers, it's always a good learning experience!
But chatters really need to chill with the stream sniping accusations. Being called a cheater because you took the correct line is really not a something I appreciate. It's one of my biggest mtg pet peeve 😅

Top 8 in the saturday morning challenge with an old favorite 🫡🌩️
The metagame is shifting fast after the first US RC. Storm has a pretty solid matchup spread against the top decks but really suffers from being inconsistent
The bauble tech is serviceable, although I'm not sure about the numbers!
