RIW Hobbies & Games - MODERN JESKAI SIDEBOARD GUIDE
The November B&R announcement has come and gone; with no changes to Modern I can spend more time developing different takes on my favorite archetype, Jeskai Blink.

As the Standard RCQ draws near a close I have been reinvigorated to play my favorite format - Modern. While I have been playing my fair share of Dimir Frog, it’s shelved for the time being due to a ...

Another rcq another event we are calling up friends to try and hit 8. This is pathetic.

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.
Howdy gamers, here's a serious post about B&R scheduling and philosophy I'd recommend taking a look at:

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.
