Made a quick sheet to track my Directs

So far 184 Runs for 120 Boxes

1104000 Gems Paid = 5520$

Looks like I am making roughly 20/30$ an hour in Directs with a ~65% chance to win a box per entry

Rough estimate since I am unsure how look bullets take + gem rebates and others

Thinking of streaming some Coaching Sessions👀

Have space for 5 people this week @ 15$/H, first come first serve

Message/Email me if interested

According to MTGEloProject I am a "Modern Specialist"

They stopped doing threading on PT Playmats for the time being.

Not sure if you have easy access to this information @ajlvi.bsky.social but with the last PT of the year wrapping up was wondering if there was a list of all the players who have played every paper PT since Covid perhaps even those queued for the next one.

Thx for maintaining the elo site.

Monstrous Rage didn't see tier1 play in standard until Bloomburrow, then with mice a narrative formed that this was some supremely broken card which I never got.

I don't get why Giant Growth is so offensive to people.
Heartfire/Manifold was the problematic aspect in my eyes.

I wrote reflections on this PT

I do a standard analysis of my judgement at the event.

Then after reflect on Anxiety and Drive.

Followed by some discourse on abstract concepts like dynacism and power.

TDM Direct 2

13 Runs

45-20 (69.23%)

New system felt fine. Feels better when you are losing cause rewards lesser finishes.

Here is the worst deck I trophied with

The best deck I went 1-2 with

And a rare not 5c deck, a Temur deck that trophied.

ppl playing my ur cori steel list are 18-2 at the rc so far.. 3 of them that i know off.. excited to see how tomorrow goes.

If anyone wants help reviewing their replays to work on their technical play before the RC this weekend I will be around Wed-Thursday offering coaching for 15$/H (DM Me comment etc)

I have been playing a lot of UR Cori Steel and have been discussing the deck in the RG guide discord.

TDM Arena Direct

I was able to top the 17lands Leaderboard for the Trophy Rate Metric

62-21 - 74.7%

15 Runs - 8 Trophies

When the mana is good in sealed the formats can be very exciting as every pool has great power. I played 5c nearly everytime.

DFT Arena Direct

70-39 - 64.2%

22 Runs - 4 Trophies

On Friday, getting beat up, starting to tilt. Calm down a bit Saturday/Sunday. But a very challenging event..

I am now Aetherdrift Sealed expert if you need coaching.. for Arena Qualifier this weekend..

I have been a dedicated RG player since before Worlds, I made a video sharing my views on Gruul and the list I played at PT Aetherdrift and another sharing Gruul tips.

I also made a guide (details in image)

DSK Arena Direct

61-20 - 75.3% Winrate

16 Runs - 8 Trophies - 16 Boxes

More $ than top32 a PT

Arena Direct = New Pro Club

Wrote a "tournament report" for PT Aetherdrift where I played Gruul

I discuss some what's the plays and reflect on my technical play.

Tryna cop some playpoints

Questioning the wisdom of Day2 Cutoffs at PTs.

I'd imagine the reasoning is assuming matches not live for top8 are irrelevant.

But in a system where every win matters, there is a lot of tension with that assumption.

I wrote some thoughts in the PT Discord.
