2nd in the Team Trios 7PH event at Mana Clash. It was an all @busstop-mtg.bsky.social finals, with 5 of us on Grixis, while
@bentudman.bsky.social was on Eldrazi.
This was my second teams event and it's such a great way to play competitive magic, wish we had more of these.

I've held the belief for a long time that the upper levels of judge certification should include a requirement of playing in two competitive tournaments each year (non-RCQs).
Unsurprisingly, this was never viewed as feasible to implement and I know it's a pipe dream.
It's still important.

5-0 + double ID, then won quarters to split top 4 of the Sunday 5k Modern today with this list -1 Elesh, 1- Sanctuary, +1 Gruul Turf, +1 Mycosynth Garden.
List felt fantastic, 5-0 vs Breach, 3-0 vs Energy, and 4-0 vs Eldrazi over the weekend, would happily play this 75 again.

6-2 for 20th place at the ANZ RC with my baby.
1-0 Energy vs Energy, 2-0 vs Eldrazi, and 3-0 Breach, but losses to Zoo and many, many maindeck Consign and Dress Down from Jeskai Control got me.
Norn was medium, not sure it’s worth the splash.
