Periodic competitive MTG with constant 76ers sadness. When not slinging cards, I play basketball and find the best places to eat.
My next event will be the Limited PTQs at MC Chicago. After looking through all the Standard legal cards in Scryfall countless times, the Limited prep will be a nice change of pace. See y'all there and let me know if you find any success with any of these ideas!

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.
