Sunday Big Smoke #Premodern tournament - took a GB Gamekeeper brew to the main event. 2-2 drop, then played the side event with Pit Rack and took it down, won a playmat! Graphic design by tattoo artist "Magic Moreno."

(Gamekeeper: has potential, strong grind but consistency and speed are lacking.)

Thank you! I kinda hate them too, but… “heinous” is the theme for the RDW pile I’m building ;)

The KTK fetch lands have, in my opinion, the very best art - but they're cheap because no fancy versions available. Until now.
