Periodic competitive MTG with constant 76ers sadness. When not slinging cards, I play basketball and find the best places to eat.
I made it back to the PT via PTQ at MagicCon Chicago! Huge thanks to Sam Black to scooping to me in the finals. I started UR in G1s in Sealed, frequently boarding into UB splash red in grindy situations with no mill threat. Both decks got to do disgusting things with full engines assembled!

Idea: beat UB, red aggro, and Pixie, board heavily for decks like Domain and Caretakers. Felt solid, but I preferred to be more proactive for the GP. Had an extra Tome and a Sunfall originally. The End would fit the main except for clashing at the 4 mana spot.

Explored this before others caught on to Mabel and crew. Liked the ability to go wide in the face of spot removal. Lost Jitte experimental.

Jewel does its Sol Ring approximation with Talent loops. High power ceiling, but it felt difficult to be reactive in the wide meta.

Looping Hopeless Nightmare is sweet, but looping Knight is even sweeter. Convoke for 2 is good enough. Huge challenge to find the right non/creature balance.
